AEROTEK SPOTTED ON US131....

[HOTROD2]

Yes the molds have arrived and seem to be in good condition. They are in Michigan and I'm looking for some more back ground info on them. It has been a real battle making sure all Legal crap was taken care of and had to wait for the snow to go away to move them. So let the rumors end and the building begain! anyone interested?

Curious from West Mich just who might you be and are those the old molds that Phil H. had ?:seeya:

[HOTROD2]

Not sure who this Phil is but I'm told they were his or he had something to do with them. As for who I am, I have owned Gun Lake Performance since 1981 I mostly do Welding and Fabricating. There are a few on here that know me.

A . and just curious what are your plans in the future as far a building any boats and yes Phil owned the molds and in fact they where at is shop in Muskegon for the longest time and seemed to go to the way side when he purchased P. Q . & just by chance did you also get the part that was made from the hull mold ?

[HOTROD2]

yes I know Tom very well (he will never admit it) and yes I did get the plug...thats the part I really wanted for a project I am working on....

yes I know Tom very well (he will never admit it) and yes I did get the plug...thats the part I really wanted for a project I am working on....Very cool and a small world at that ,i have been working on toms old 24 Skater for a friend off and on over the last few year's had it fliped and put a new smaller nut sac with a better design on the tunnel for a surface drive. I have to say that i tried so hard to get Ratickle / Paul to tell me who purchased the molds and never a peep .:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Paul did good!!!! I didnt want rumors to start until I had the things in my possesion. I knew that skater well, it once tried to run me over at Hardy Dam when the steering broke while we were racing.....along side with one of my boats...scary close!

Jeff - What molds are these? Are they the Florida Aerotek, or the Mike Bowers Challenger/Aerotek? The Cedar Springs gang had a 22/24/28/30. The 28 was later a Level 10 I believe. What's the scoop?

Not sure if they are the same, I hear all kinds of story's. They are for a 35' and smaller hull is what I know so far.....?

[jdoss]

Jamie- Still have "Live Wire"?

[Ratickle]

Oh yeah, I know Jeff well. He has the 50 Cary with the modified quads we used for the card boat at Smoke and the turn boat at the last Grand Haven race.

You should be looking into building a boat Artie......:sifone:

For DD.....:)

Anyone know if it's true there were also stepped hull inserts?????

[jdoss]

Yep, still have live wire. just redid a 185 xlt pp carbon fiber dash, interior......
I've got a 1991 28 apache for sale also, twin 550's. Ron who owns the apache use to own this 35 aero-tek . He also has one with the deck changes we were making and the new dash . His boat was awesome.

you got my attension with that pic, thats a better looking boat than i thought....

[jdoss]

First off congrats on the purchase.

That is the old deck which you did not get. the deck we were working on was a lot better, entry way, shifters throttle split, back seat issues, also cg for the boat ...

The boats were great no steps (never had and do not need). Technology just is making the design better. props, x dim, lamination...... we boat in michigan it is almost never calm so a kilo on a pond does us no good.

The 29 and 27 boats (deck molds you have) run great also. hot boat and pb did articles on the 29.

Here is a link to the last one out of the molds. Chris merrill laid it up (over kill) then the molds came north.
