I believe that my son took most that I have posted (except for post #10, Dave Rankin in the K69 getting out of shape and airborn)...

I am going to have my son animate the series of Rankin going up on his side and then his amazing landing...

Marine Stadium next August will be your best bet... Under the BIG SIGN... :)

Actually the last few years it has been marinated pork loin and marinated shrooomies... BUT I know the Grand PooBahhh Pat Eason favors TRI TIP so TRI TIP it is... :)

They actually made me go out and buy a new Weber kettle a few years ago... I fly 3000 miles to cook for them and they cant supply a BBQ pit??? WTF??? ;)

Look for me under the MARINE STADIUM sign...

I will have to beg CampbellCarl to bring his POT O BEANS to the party... Where EVERYONE gets a piece of bacon... :buddies:

IF I make it to Needles, look for "BIG SMOKE" Hud... I will be chillin and grillin with him... The KUNG FOO master...

Hiya Steve, Merry Christmas to you and your family!!! :) Are you in MO or id your BRO out west for the holiday???

How is the K24 doing these days, did santa bring you a new set of slugs/blower/heads/rods???

[Mid-Life Crisis]

Merry Xmas Bruce! We are in Cali for the holidays and my brother is still back in MO. He did buy himself a new christmas present in the form of a Bell 47 so I need to get out there to check it out.

The plan is to get the boat done by February and unfortunately I ended up on Santa's naughty list because I had to go out and purchase all those parts myself..:violin: On the bright side, I have some more $$ help next season and we have some T-shirts getting printed up so we at least look a little more professional..:thumb: Are you gonna make it to Puddingstone in March?

Sorry to hear you made the naughty list, but at least he didn't take any toys away from you. Sounds like your brother is going to be having some fun. Did he get a J or a G model?

The G model is the one with the glass cockpit bubble, the J has more of a primitive cabin on it.

Exxxxxxxxxxxxcelente' I love seeing him come unglued... :smilies_mit_hut019: It is a small world. Guess who I bought my K boat motor from? Wouldn't it be fun to go run his old engine in an open boat against his new setup with his capsuled boat? Imagine how pissed he'd be if he got beat by the stuff he got rid of.


Now that Eason is considered a COMPETITOR, I'll definitely get you rockin' with a K-24 shirt just to piss him off..:Banane21:

And this is what makes boat racing fun. Because we can rib and poke fun at each other (within limits), yet we all know that if anyone needs a hand at a race to get their stuff on the water the same people we poke fun at today will be there helping us and we would do the same for them. Now once we're running and in and in the water, it's may my boat win, I don't care who the best man is as long as I'm the fastest. I'll take a little luck over skill any day on a race course.

He must have been Army. Tell him to step up one more size and add floats and he can fly rescue at the K boat races. Pilot, EMT, diver, and Stokes, diver jumps in and rides back in the patrol boat. He can have the best of both worlds flying at the races. Heck his brother might even let him trade toys. LOL. I know I would if my boat was ready to race.

Pfaff Power Plant you say?:signhuh: Below I enter EXHIBIT 'A' showing a one, Mr. Leon Wilton aka. "Bubby" working on your engine. Also, rumor has it that the engine in question is scheduled for valve maintenance with another 3rd party engine builder. It's obvious that your (soon to expire) :yikes: powerplant is not a Pfaff. :goodluck:

The truth is, it's a rare Pfaffner motor! :action-smiley-035: Bubby helped tune it once or twice since Gordy wasn't around. Much better than the outboards you two fags are running. :D

Now he'll be remaining in the 15 hp teenie bopper class. :coffee-n-news:

He "LET'S" you drive the glittery orange replica at the Puddingstone race, then as you are making laps, the engine lets go, thus forcing a conversation about how YOU are going to fix it on YOUR DIME after YOU ruined it....classic..:action-smiley-069:

Easy on the name calling :smileyvault-tomatoe, and get your facts straight Sharp Shooter. Its 28hp in the CSH and it certainly has done more laps racing than your Honcho or you ever have. FYI...I'll bring the drum of fuel. :wink2:

Yeah, I don't know about that chief...
A. I think the 28 hp claim is maybe a stretch.
B. I ride my bicycle around the neighborhood with the kids which is easily on par with your kind of racing. HAHA!!
C. According to Doug Peters My Honcho raced the Catalina ski race as well as the Mead 75 miler and others. Rick Johnson used to tow it to the races so check with him.

So, do you have anymore exorbitant claims...? :)

Where are all of these capsule k-boats at now?

Ok so again history buffs.....who is in the SS-6 boat above?, and please provide some names and teams to the various capsule boats you guys are posting.

[Sharp shooter]

Whats the info on the SS-6, driver, owner, year etc. Thanks

HISTORY OF K-24

Val Wheeler built 3 of these "team" boats. Not pictured was an identical D' Cucci. The ss boat seen above was at Burley 1994 with I believe Heath Culp at the wheel. Paul Whittington eventually ended up with that boat for a while. The K boat was also Burley '94 and looking at the angle, I must have snapped both pictures from the exact same spot about 50 yards up river of the launch ramp. :)

The K was driven by Jeff Christensen that weekend. That boat eventually made it's way into the hands of Dan Monson who had his son Corey drive it with a carbureted motor for a little while.

That's Dan on the right.
32017

Corey and his sister out front of Red Rock at one of the many v-drive regattas 2000.

32018

Burley 2001. My video camera broke this weekend so they made me a turn judge.
32019

Around 2004 Pat Eason bought the K boat and painted it. Corey continued to drive it at the races but now with injector.

32020

A few years later Pat sold this boat to MidLife crisis and bought John Brittons (sp) red capsule boat out of New Jersey. That's the same boat he has now.
Midlife crisis put the 24 number on the old K-6/711 and proceeded to spend $100,000 in engines. :D

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb39/Roadroamer1/40600038_zps1a0741aa.jpg

This same boat was converted to capsule and painted into the current Capt. America that we've all seen a million times (because Midlife posts 6 extremely vain pictures of it every day lol). The K 24 was originally K-6 which as displayed was one of 3 original Val Wheeler "team" boats. Midlife should've cloned it back to original. Val Wheelers original paint looked much better. :D

Everything is coming together...Gordy will have the engine done in about 2 weeks. Just waiting on the new valves. The v-drive needed some love and just picked that up yesterday.

Good to hear she is coming together, I never really knew who did your engine... Now that I think of it, she does have that "GORDO/Pfaff power" sound to her... :)

Best you never attempt racing anything. Losing, even with "style", is still losing. Fords are perfect for towing Chevy powered race boats to the races. Fords are what you used to power the boats use to drive over and watch the Chevys race.

You are getting to be quite the expert there Bruce. Now you I.D. a Pfaff motor, even if its a Chevy, just by listening to it. I am impressed.
