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.

Everything is coming together...Gordy will have the engine done in about 2 weeks. Just waiting on the new valves. The v-drive needed some love and just picked that up yesterday. Starting to put things back together this weekend. I would start a facebook page on keeping you all up to date on progress but I fear it would be too VAIN.. hahah.. (I was looking for the appropriate smiley and came across this!! WTF..lol)

That emoji is for questions like this one:

"hey Bruce, would you ever put a chevy engine in any of your projects???"

Answer: (when monkeys fly out of my ass)



Good to hear she is coming together, I never really knew who did your engine... Now that I think of it, she does have that "GORDO/Pfaff power" sound to her...

P.S. I don't do facebook, here would be better "vanity vanity all is vanity" King Solomon...

Best you never attempt racing anything. Losing, even with "style", is still losing. Fords are perfect for towing Chevy powered race boats to the races. Fords are what you used to power the boats use to drive over and watch the Chevys race.

You are getting to be quite the expert there Bruce. Now you I.D. a Pfaff motor, even if its a Chevy, just by listening to it. I am impressed.
