Roy,
I'm guessing here but I think you were at the old place near downtown Seattle.
A rather cramped place in a industrial park.

Well, they have moved to a new home a few miles south in Kent Washington.
Enough room for six unlimited's in the front room a complete motor room for rebuilds and a "back" room with enough room to house the restoration of the Hurricane four.
One of her claims to fame was a run-on part in the movie "Magnificent Obsession" starring Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman.
And even enough room to house 5-7 J hydros under construction.
It was so neat to have Jimbo there giving hints to some of the "dad's" I was unfortunately working on a few other boats and was not privy to his tips, but I'm sure if I ask next week I can find out that hints he was giving.

Ron's pictures just do not do the place justice if you guy's and gal's would like I can try and shoot a few next week to give you a better overview.

This place is pretty much run on membership dollars and believe me they can use every one they can get ( a whole whopping $35.00 for the basic membership) yes this is a plug

and if that is not your thing they do have really cool dvd-VCR races that you can purchase. nothing like boat racing in your living room any time you like.
