Teague (77) has probably been there for little while. Not sure who the 92 is. That number belonged to Rudy Ramos for along time.

Well this has been a bit of a surprise. I was sure GN7 would be the one to close up this thread, again, but thank you GN7 for being extremely civilized and generous in providing a ton of good information to all of us. I certainly appreciate it. Now there seems to be some sort of other hair raising battle going on and to be honest, I'm not even sure whats it all about. And I honestly don't want to know at this point. So, unless we can all play, I lock it up once again. Please don't think you're gonna get your last jab in before I do, because I'll just delete it. So, whats it gonna be?

Skyskier, the guy that drives my GN owns the Rayson LP (Ponytail)that is in that article. His dad bought it from Dick Williams in 1970 and its been in the family ever since. Still has it.

Can you at least give Bob time to read my appreciation of how this is becoming a race for outboards. I wish I could be in attendance now.

I've been in touch with one of Dick's grandson's, said he hadn't seen a lot of the old pics of Dick sr, Dickie & Leslie, the whole Williams family was one of the families that made ski racing what it once was, absolutely the most fun I ever had in my 66 years.

Its basically a pissing match about whether flat bottoms are better than the current ski boats.
I can settle pretty easy. Flat bottoms built ski racing. V bottoms will be the death of ski racing. The proof is in the history, not speculation.

Personally, I'd rather watch paint dry than watch 100 outboards run the Parker enduro. I lived thru those years. Its why it died, and fizzled into history. Nobody cared.

Jeez Bob, you didn't even give me a smilie with that kick in the nuts.

Btw, I have two OB's on the back of mine, you know to make up for the non-believers. :p

I'm ok with a pissing match, as long as it doesn't get personal. If these two guys are friends and they're just badgering eachother, I'm ok with that too. But it doesn't read that way to me.

no pissing match, young buck came in , gun's blazing an I put him in his place. I'm over it, actually never was " on " it

, just stated a few "FACTS", nothing more, nothing less, certainly nothing personal on MY behalf.
