You have it backwards bud......TPR/Edge was from a Cheyenne. Tom Papp was involved with the first generation Cheyenne. I believe the TPR is 3rd generation

I was just stating the pred. and TPR looks a lot alike and that was not a flat, and it is a sweet ride, and looks like it has plenty of ponys.

The predator plug actually started life as an ultra, the ultra was based off the Cheyenne. None of these boats have anything to do with the tpr although they do all share a very similar bottom.

That is a totally incorrect statement Mr Nelson. The plug your boat came is a Cheyenne mold I currently have not a Ultra. Tom Papp lost the original Cheyenne mold in a divorce. He then made the TPR, (Tom Papp Racing) mold from a Cheyenne so he could have another version of the Cheyenne.

I know Tommy made the tpr from a cheyenne... the boat i used for the plug was not a Chyenne although you may call it that its not. Andy Ralls has Ervin Capps old Chyenne mold and there may be another one floating around but if you have the mold that came from that Ron guy in California that was originally an ultra you are incorrect.

The Predator mold was redesigned off of the ultra/ronco mold that Ron acquired from ultra which was a second generation Cheyenne. It's the same mold that Mike Finnegan's boat came out of. When Ron tried to make a new race boat for the 509 Raucher crew it was unacceptable to there liking and was sold to someone in AZ. Dan and Brian Nelson bought the hull and redesigned the hull with a few minor changes to the bottom to be consistent with the first generation Cheyenne. Also did a few modifications to the deck and made there own mold. The original TPR mold is with Greg Shoemaker /Mike Declark
The first generation Cheyenne that was back east that I believe Capps was making boats out of is now in San Diego and belongs to Andy Ralls of Ralls Performance Marine. I know Ron Baker also has a version of the Cheyenne and I believe it to be the original generation 2 mold that Ron from Ronco was making hulls out of which the Predator was born from.

All and all They are all Cheyenne based boats



Gen1 Ralls performance marine
Gen2 Ron Baker
Gen3 TPR GS/Declark
Gen4 Predator Dan and Brian Nelson

Several others and I had very lengthy conversations with Tommy when he was still with us about this subject. Now there is a lot more about the hulls, but to the best of my memory the above is where they are today.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but isn't that point of the contest? Getting everyone you know to join and vote for you? I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but it is pretty apparent that there has been competition between the two finalist since the beginning. Both boats were built/refurbished by the owners which is a great accomplishment and one happens to be a jet boat while the other happens to be a v-drive. Knowing that the contest was ending at a specific date and time, why wouldn't you try to sandbag the other and wait till last minute to get all your votes in? If anything I think having this competition is great for the forum. You are making more and more people aware of it. Yeah some may be newbies now, but now that they are familiar with the site I'm sure you will get more action from them.

I dont know about the other guys that voted but I just liked the boat that I voted for which was the 68 Mandella because it being an old classic V drive restored to what they looked like back then. You dont see that very often nowdays. It seems that everbody and their brother has jets that basically all look alike it's just a matter how much money can put in in them that differentiate them. It's just an awesome boat based on the pictures I saw so call it what you want Ill stick with my vote. Long live the classic hot rod v-drives.
