Eric's Dragon..Teague 1100's and #6's.So why is it for sale at Eliminator less power? Did Eric buy one?

[catmando]

ArproI hope they'll be back in the P1 wars next season. Would be a shame if they retired.

Unfortunately, not my pics or boat, but this is Dragon #1 525s BravosAh yes the "Dragon's Tail"!! I would rerig it with Ron Potter 800 N/As and Arneson 7s.

[coastie9]

[mika]

I crawled all over one of these at Miami in 05, amazing fit and finish

[WeaponX]

I've seen that one before.:sifone:

[Team Tsunami]

Weapon,

How'd the boat run and handle??

[WeaponX]

Runs great. Set up is not right yet but has run almost 100 mph with 525's it's crazy.:eek: We had the wrong drives and props and ran 89.

Ran nice in the small water that was out on saturday ,sunday on the poker run. I'd guess it was 3's

[mika]

I've seen that one before.:sifone:

Your a lucky man. Unfortunatly my only seat time in your boat was in the parking lot of the convention center!

[Geronimo36]

I always thought this was a cool Dragon picture..kinda neat they rigged before paint/gel!....:sifone:

John brought that boat on a few of the early FMO runs.
This shot is from the '06 Turkey Run... every running shot I have of it- running level on rails.

No gel just epoxy. I think the best rigging on a pleasure model was the one with the Red Dragon logo that Tres did. I think the first was rigged by Lake X.

[Geronimo36]

Cool! I found the picture on another site.

[MANITIE]

First one was rigged at Lake X....Tres did a good job along with Grant on the boat that went to Europe, I'm wating to see the pics and here the #'s on the gentleman that bought mine that went to the Camon's, he was going to put in some big hp and #6's in it...

Tank, what speeds did you see? I wonder if the boat would be faster without the windshield? Less wind resistance?

[wstultz]

These boats are beautiful but are they still being build? Last I heard he went to work for Donzi.

It's not mine It's a friend of mine who owns it.

But the seat time is fun.:bump:

Trim pump on the starboard side is a little low. It's pressed down against the hull. I had to replace the trim pump due to a crack in the tank on the pump.:confused:

Would love to see a Dragon up around these parts this summer!!:D Good luck! I remember seeing the Blue one over at Martin Marine being built and then #2 at the Miami show. Very cool boats!

Craig is still building them....I'm not sure if Doug will still be doing the hull...but we were looking at building another race boat with a Doug W canopy and we were talking about Doug build the hull...

Sorry Brad, just saw this thread again.

I don't recall what numbers she posted when I was in it. There were four of us in the boat and we were enjoying the smooth ride (in big lake chop) while drinking Martinis:eek::cheers2:

They dropped me off to get the truck and trailer and took my wife out (big suprise).

If memory serves, the first one was known for running in the upper 90's.

I don't think the lack of a windshield would matter too much. I do believe Craig did some wind tunnel tests with a model prior to build as well. The Dragons I've seen in and ridden in, were absolutley awe inspiring. Beautifully hand crafted works of art.

[Gordo]

Have any more been built the last few years?

May be the cleanest engine compartment that I've ever seen!
