Come on guys. Look at the back of these two boats and tell me they are the same.
Dead flat cav plate on the parker boat, tunnel/runner with 2 level cav plate assembly on the D&H.
Lines on the D&H that are so hard you could cut yourself on them, compared to the roundness of the parker boat.
Virtually no rear deck on the D&H, and the Parker boat has close 18 inches of rear deck
The D&H has an outboard rudder because it damn near has to, the Parker boat has the rudder under it.
The only thing this boat has with the D&H is the name.
I never said they were the same :D

The flat at the Pirates this weekend is a flat bottom boat, the Woodpecker and Mixed Emotions were both D&H Sleds or what was referred to as a step style hydro.
The owner claims it to be a '68 D&H flat. I have no reason to not believe him as he was a neighbor of Ted and Vi Phillips and bought this boat from Ted.
Bob, how much do you know about the D&H Sled? I only know of three that were made.Quote:

I only know of the two posted.Quote:

Fact that the Parker boat has "In memory of Ted Phillips" on the dash, plus you posting a pic of the drag boat would tend to lead one to think it was the Mixed Emotions D&H drag boat.
Found another memory card and more pics, lol. Here ya go.
Few more...
