NEW Mod VP pics...

I thought there was a difference in the pre-pickle fork boat. The boat dad raced was Chris's yellow and blue #1 boat like the yellow one pictured.

[Ted March]

is Chris leading in St. Louis in 1985. Yellow boat in the background is Al.

[Rusrog]

the wall in his office at work... He says that was back when life was grand!!!!!!!!

Please tell me somebody remembers the yellow and blue #1 Laser I'm thinking of? It was before the modern day STV like the red one.

Bet that Rude powered Stoker was comin to the front in that pic. I remember Al was always way at the back after the start and that old OMC made big round turns and passed boat after boat till it was in the lead almost every time..

Chris Bush in the #1 Short Deck pre pickle fork LTV.

I remember that one! I'm still thinkin of the blue and yellow..

Dad said that thing was a rocket and a very good handling boat.

Tim, go here:

1983 St. Louis Mod VP Final. There were several LTV's. #1 was Bush. The yellow #6 was Greg Foster. That's all I remember.

I do remember a yellow and blue one, but I don't have any pictures and I don't remember where.

Regarding you comment on the yellow boat, that was 1985 St Louis. Al won.

I remember the one that you are talking about. Powerboat had a pic of that boat sitting at the dock and you could see inside it... Chris was just about to blast away from the dock it appeared. I remember it well. I still like that color combo. Yellow and blue... Yep. I'll have to dig around and see if I still have that issue of PB.

I know it was on the cover of Propeller Magazine because Chris won Parker the year dad and Louis Collins drove for Fred Bowden in the #34 Mod VP and broke while leading.

Hey Matt, bet you got a picture of it somewhere!

[Ted March]

He seems to be sitting up pretty high in that boat. I remember when Roark asked dad to drive Chris's boat a couple times the seat was so low in the boat dad sat on a pillow to see over the dash.

Got any pictures of the difference between the long and short deck boats?
