I recall Eason saying that they took EXTRA EXTRA out of the bottom of the FAT ELEPHANT BASTARD and had one hell of a time putting the top on the due to the extreme mismatch...

I'm sorry but I think they just look bitchen sitting in the water and I wouldnt be the least bit scared running a hull like this in LOTO, not at 100 but maybe 80

Jerry, in RiverRats I recall just a SHORT clip of Pat in his elephant bastard, is there more OR some good clear pics??? Caroline dug out the photo album of this boat when I was at their house a few months ago... Their girls were LITTLE ...

I think Pat only own that boat long enough to burn a tank or two though it. It wasn't exactly around long enough to get many pics of.
Boat is still around if you are interested in buying it. No hemi though. But them you don't care, you'd want a cammer anyway.

Getting the flat deck to fit a hull that is cut down a extra bit is easier than trying to fit the crown deck. Then there is the Tub Of Fools which has the appearance of being cut down more in the back than the front. My understanding is, it was not deliberate, but due to the way the gel coat was stripped in the mold and it kind of sealed the deal on how the hull had to be cut when it came out.
