Who’s coming to Bakersfield?

[DeanFHobart]

Now, that is one well done restoration.... keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see the finished product.

[DeanFHobart]

One thing for sure is that this project has a large following..... 6 pages of replies..... Yikes. I can’t wait to see the finished product.

[DeanFHobart]

Somewhat bigger than a C Stock Hydro....

[DeanFHobart]

75 mph would be respectable. So you want to make a Mod C or ie 500 Mod out of it? That is 75 on a hydro....

[DeanFHobart]

Looking good.

[DeanFHobart]

Any one coming to Bakersfield this coming weekend? Outboards or Inboards. See you there.

[DeanFHobart]

Good idea...TJ can for sure help you .... maybe even with the megaphone....

[DeanFHobart]

The Downing and Hobart family’s were very close. We would always pit next to each other at our local races and especially at the Nationals. All of us kids would call each other cousins... ie ‘cuz’. And it was Uncle Bill and Auntie Bev for me and for the Downing kids it was Uncle Ed...

[DeanFHobart]

That part should be available from someone. Also, Y80’s are around to buy... see if you can buy a spare... they are relatively inexpensive....

[DeanFHobart]

So you’re leaving to rear chines and sponson skins..... cool..... looking good....

[DeanFHobart]

Wow... So you are going to remove all of the plywood skins and start back with just the frame work? Are you going to finish it with clear? Clear is most likely the way it was originally. Keep up the good work....

[DeanFHobart]

The boat is looking good...It looks like you did a fantastic job on the deck removal. Keep up the good work.
