The really "Old School" boating thread

[gn7]

The WaWa Too was Bill's 266 hydroplane, I'm not sure if he ever had a WaWa without the too in the name. As far as I remember all his hydroplanes were too's. He seemd to like that name and apparently he liked Vic's engines, since Vic built the 265s that were in the hydroplanes for Bill. Vic Jr has the WaWa Too in his museum now.

Geez, I didn't know I needed to spell out all the variances of the different names.
Like I said, Patterson had a series of "Cinder" boats, Ron Larson had a string of "Quick" and "Quickie" Raysons, Tony Maricich had more than a couple "Suddenly" variations, Rankin's "Child" boats, Rudy had a shit load of "Phffts" and Ritner had WaWa.
The Patterson flat was not a TOO although it was built years after the flat head and Chevy powered 266 hydros.

The 392 hemi in the flat was built by Vic and Meeks as well.

We installed and maintain the AC at the Edelbrock's shop, and I never heard anybody refer to it as a "museum" any more than Jay Leno's place
