HISTORY OF K-24

Val Wheeler built 3 of these "team" boats. Not pictured was an identical D' Cucci. The ss boat seen above was at Burley 1994 with I believe Heath Culp at the wheel. Paul Whittington eventually ended up with that boat for a while. The K boat was also Burley '94 and looking at the angle, I must have snapped both pictures from the exact same spot about 50 yards up river of the launch ramp.

The K was driven by Jeff Christensen that weekend. That boat eventually made it's way into the hands of Dan Monson who had his son Corey drive it with a carbureted motor for a little while.

That's Dan on the right.


Corey and his sister out front of Red Rock at one of the many v-drive regattas 2000.



Burley 2001. My video camera broke this weekend so they made me a turn judge.


Around 2004 Pat Eason bought the K boat and painted it. Corey continued to drive it at the races but now with injector.



A few years later Pat sold this boat to MidLife crisis and bought John Brittons (sp) red capsule boat out of New Jersey. That's the same boat he has now.
Midlife crisis put the 24 number on the old K-6/711 and proceeded to spend $100,000 in engines.





This same boat was converted to capsule and painted into the current Capt. America that we've all seen a million times (because Midlife posts 6 extremely vain pictures of it every day lol). The K 24 was originally K-6 which as displayed was one of 3 original Val Wheeler "team" boats. Midlife should've cloned it back to original. Val Wheelers original paint looked much better.
