So we have been working on this deal for a little while, and have kind of kept quite about it but not so much, we decided to go ahead and start the build thread on this thing. What started out to be a good deal in Texas turned out to be a lot of work, after driving for 2 days and spending about 1,500 bucks to get there to find out the boat was not as clean as we thought, and so it begins:

5856458565

It looked better in pics

585665856758568

Pulled the capsule to update the latches, big thanks to Spike and Rod at Gorr fuel injection system for the help on the updated latches

58569
58570
58571
58572

Then it was off to Finneys to get Powder Coated

58573
58574
58575

There will be more to come, to be continued [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Of course! I think the new plan is Pro Outlaw. Taking it to paint next weekend. All the fiberglass is done, all the hardware is going to polish and anodizing. It's going to be bad ass when it's done!!

Now for a little history on the boat:

It started out as the Final Effort Blown Alcohol Hydro
58673

and then was sold to a guy in Alabama which was then re-named and rigged with a capsule by Kebin Kinsley, it was also driven by Kebin until the guy that owned it passed away, then Kebin bought it a re rigged it with a new capsule

The guy that bought it from Kebin (from what I was told) threw the rods out on his first pass and his wife made him sell it, Jim Degroot out of Texas bought it and raced it as a Pro Mod for a few years until he parked it,

58674
58675

That's when my dad bought it, and now we are bringing a classic back to the track

58683

It's a 53, and yes it has the Wolfsburg emblem, and the funny blinker arms that's pop out the side, my dad restored everything on it,

You have no idea how far he went to have everything original in that thing! (Maybe a little more HP) I think the radio cost more than I could sell my truck for! Lol!

Not trying to hijack the thread, awesome project BTW.

But, I have a question. What's with the small trailers with the inset small wheels/tires? Is that so you can put it into an enclosed hauler instead of a typical boat trailer? Or is it to facilitate easier launches/recoveries at events?

Good Question
It is set up to load the boat in an enclosed trailer. It has narrowed axles and small tires for the boat to sit over the top of tires so it will fit in the Enclosed.
The trailer is only 35" wide to fit the center flat area of the Hydro.
It will not be used for road transport,
Only to lunch and load the boat at the races

Wow it looks great and sounds even better. What else do you guys have left to do? What races are you guys planning on doing next year?

Thanks Vic, we have just a few small things left, like chutes control cables and we have to pull the engine because of an oil leak, we also had to send the computer back to get fixed, we haven't fixed it since the Long Beach wreck, that should be back tomorrow, we are planning on making the maiden voyage March 30th thru April 2nd at the season opener in Chandler and then run Parker also and we will see how it goes from there
