[txriverrat2001]

My good friend Kenny has been bustin his a$$ to get Gone Again back on the water - after a couple of years of glass work, engines, rigging, wet sump to dry, etc..... the list goes on and on and on and on..... She's wet and currently getting dialed in. Here's a few pics from the past weekend while he was workin on the fuel mapping..... Enjoy!

The F16 canopies are sure different from when they left Skater and could you give us some pics of the latch system holding the canopies down and are the roll bars still in place ? I have to say that i am also getting ready to show some pics of the old Don Q rum a 32 Skater that has had quite a face lift from Race to pleasure and thanks for sharing .:)

Talon??? Ya mean Skater - right?

[lowblue320]

Nice....

[Bobcat]

[MattBMiller]

Very cool! What power?

[Offshore Ginger]

Talon??? Ya mean Skater - right? I presume is is talking about the old Jelly Belly Gone Again which was a # 37-Talon that Rik Bowling owned after his 32 Skater Gone Again in which we had countless man hours doing all the structural repair and salvage of Jelly Belly Gone Again which was Rik's next boat after his 32 Skater.:sifone:

[h2oMag]

Before she was Gone Again this 32' Skater ran in the OPT open class as PHOTO FINISH. We were having our 32' Skater [ EASTERN EXPRESS] being built at the same time by Pete. If I remember right OPT let 32' cats run in open class from 1990 to 1991 like the 32' Don Q did the year before.

[ITLLFLI]

Very cool resurection! Looks great! My buddy brought back "Agitator".....

[txriverrat2001]

Very cool! What power?

The engines are custom built -

[J-Bonz]

BTW I think he spells his name Rick. We have a Rik here but he works for Arneson.

[BY U BOY]

That biacth is BAD AZZ! Will it be at the shoot out?

come see....

pump fuel.... that could be anything. It all comes from a pump! :sifone:

[Dude! Sweet!]

I was talking to someone else who's stepped up to the Motec stuff and dios mio is that stuff a runner!

[Bobcat]

pump fuel.... that could be anything. It all comes from a pump! :sifone:

or a siphon:leaving:

[txriverrat2001]

He's hoping to make the shoot out - but no promises. There's still a lot of fuel mapping to do before he goes for the big number - and after a couple of years getting this far .... who's in a hurry??

And the motors are set up for 93 octane - no bchit.

[Slandrew]

WOW Looks great:drool5:

[txriverrat2001]

Update - 138 @ 5800 and still dialin in.......
