And I believe you are correct sir :cool:
Ron, we were talking about exactly the same thing last weekend. My dad was saying that the season started in late April with a race every weekend and finished up in Elizabeth City, NC (fast water...
Pretty sure I know where the last one is and it's NOS, I also know of a NOS 6 cylinder block in the shipping box. Sorry, not telling on either... The owners may chime in.

What Mike said, he has glued a "couple" of engines back together......
Randy,
I have a pile of engines that are in the process of being restored and I've found that for cleaning and stripping paint, walnut or plastic media work very well without marking/abrading the...
Wayne,
Nikon is making fairly inexpensive DSLR bodies that should accept your existing lenses...
I think my current Nikon has 16 GB of memory (it uses both compact flash and SD) and will...

Thank you Bob, do you know any history of the boat?
Dave
As soon as it cools off I'll take it off the truck
It's 9'8" so I think it's a straight B boat, Shannon said the A/B's were 9'6" and the B's were 9'8"
I'm picking up the 20H tomorrow :D:D
Dave
Now that it looks like all of the pieces are coming together, does anyone have a copy of the program from the 1969 Stock Nationals at Hinton WV?
If someone could scan the cover and post it, I...
Heck no!
We redecked a D Sid last year and when I got in the thing it scared the poop out of me. It felt like there was a lot of the boat missing, like everything from the deck up.... I had...
Andrew,
In my case, it's 2010.....
I have the conversion kit in the shop and I'm picking up an unconverted 20H next week (and hopefully a SidCraft to run it on :eek:)
Dave
Thanks Tim.
I'm going to look at the boat Tuesday, maybe it will follow me home......
I'm going to look at a SidCraft hydro next week,
What I know so far....
Gold Decal with SidCraft and Nixon NJ
Number on the boat is 57-N and has the name Frankie on it
Supposed to be an A-B boat...
how many sets did you get? if you only got one, then there is another set somewhere (here maybe)
Do a better job trimming the zip ties next time.... :mad:
The ones I did for you didn't look like your pet possum gnawed them off. :)
Yes Jeff. it's much better than when he was selling a...
I can still hear though..... :D
Here are some copies for sale on Amazon, I think I paid 3 bucks for my copy

!970 in Beloit was my first nationals. I ran J hydro and J runabout and there were 3 generations of Augustines racing there, Pop (John), Gary and myself.
Pop, Big Dave and Tom were on the...
Try http://www.bahnsporttechnik.de/body_koenig.html it will work better :D
A couple of years ago when I was in the Pacific on Kwajalein for work, I made a 150 mile trip on a LCT (~60' landing craft) for my duty on Gilligans Island, I don't envy anyone who had to travel far...
Or you can do what I'm doing now, either throwing it out or getting it ready for "Otis's traveling boat racing crap yard sale".
In your case though, I think I'd like to see the pictures. :D

So now go UNroll your own
You're right David, that wasn't long after the nationals at Hinton, correct?
Was Malcolm Harden running a 700 at that time?
Myself and it only took one ride
I think I have you "covered" there ;) , Pop taught me in the old school Marine Corps way and I guess it worked, my best day at the National Matches was a...
Wayne, it's a lay down boat so you're missing some other
"interesting" bruises. :o I still think the lady of questionable virtue with strange tastes is your best bet. Let me know how it goes? :D
...
You could lie and tell her you got them from the woman you picked up in a bar, it would probably get you in less trouble :D
A couple of the guys in the 1200cc class are listed as being from where I live,
anybody know if Joseph Jenkins or Bobby Isaac (Issac?) are still racing?
Wayne, you up for running 250 at the...
Yes the throttle is Konig and I believe the lower unit is Konig also. Don Christy was a very successful racer in Region 4 in the 60's.
Dave
That's strange, are you trying to do it, or is the boss doing it? :D:D
Not sure about in the Mac world but there is some pretty good software on the PC side with on the fly error correction.
I know, I know, I tried some experiments and I found the reason for the brown ring. I blew over twice in a 250 and stuffed a 500 once, in each case I noticed a brown ring in my.... oh wait, I just...
Sam,
The labels came off the disks you currently have/had or the masters that Genes disks were made from?
*****TEST THIS ON AN OLD DISK FIRST*****
I believe alcohol (not the drinking kind...
The restored examples in this collection are very nice, but I'll refrain from posting them yet. Besides, we were tired of lifting the powerheads on and off of the tower :D
an A, 2 B's, 3 (or is it...
B Looper "kit" engine
C Looper
I did a boat racer porn photoshoot today and I'll put an image or two up for your viewing pleasure......
F Looper
Thanks John, I didn't want to ventilate a certain B Looper, again :D
Dave
We need to get a D block resleeved, is this possible? I assume the sleeve(s) would need to be custom made?
A quart of oil to 5 gallons the correct mix and if so, is there any reason not to use the...
In a moment of sobriety I caught that comment, what you didn't ask here in public is if we could use said diesel pickup to bring a certain ratty Sidson to my garage/boat shop for it's Joan Rivers...
Since they're being used to restore an old Sid and this is the Outboard History forum my thoughts were that this indeed would be the place to ask about them. If instead I was asking about 1/4" crown...
In view of my (our) upcoming Sid-son restoration. Does anybody know where I can get bronze anchorfast nails?
Thanks
Dave
Hey, wait a minute, these stands are version 1.0 and were designed and built in a couple of hours out of 2X4's, 2X6's and drywall screws (sorry Frank, I was lieing when I said I had them all figured...
I'm not sure I like that they're running stuff at an antique meet that I have raced.....
Other stuff
Franks C looper again
Sid-Son decal
D Stock on the Sid-Son
Frank and I went to an Antique Outboard wet meet in Mays Landing, NJ today. No open exhaust (dagnabbit) so Frank had to display his loopers instead of running them, this was a mixed blessing as I...
LOL, I know what my trailer (behind the truck you should buy BTW) does at 95 :D:eek::D
Jeez, my instructions were not to let the proverbial cat out of the bag but Frank let the whole herd out.....
Frank, I really think you need to buy my truck to haul all that stuff around :D I'll...
Jeff,
Modern technology works fine with old "iron", we don't need no stinkin' ropes. When Frank brings his to my house again (and they're timed correctly this time :D ) we're using my electric...
Right now I'm planning on being there and yes, you know you're more than welcome to use the lens (unless Buddy gets off his wallet between now and then...wait, Mothers day?)
I need to get a new...
Jean, did Buddy get you that new lens yet? :D
