P51 - Bad Temper also getting Kaliforniafide

[Dude! Sweet!]

Sitting in an airport in San Jose right now and figured I'd start a thread on my 24 as well.

According to Pepe, its the old P51 "Bad Temper" raceboat. It was converted to OBs on a bracket at some point. I have some pics of that.it was run for a few races before the bad temper guys switched to tripple OBs and a 28.

Anyhow, doing some revisions to this one too and thought I'd start a thread, since Bob isn't answering my Cubs related texts...

I went after the cabin with a claw hammer sunday.

Pics to follow!

I turned away from the TV in anger!!!!! I actually had a snootfull and went to bed! are you staying with trips or two more powerful o/b's ?

[lowblue320]

any pics of when it was bad temper and now?

[Mikeb4]

I vote with these two new projects we all chip in and buy Sean a nice compact digital camera so he can stop using that cell phone ..... what say you all?? Count me in for $20

It's almost fall here in Michigan so we need entertainment for the winter!

[Bobcat]

if he would clean the jaegermeister off the phone camera lens it probably wouldn't look so bad

[Dude! Sweet!]

Ha! I have one, I just never have it with me! I'm trying to get better. I did bring it to the circle boat races!


And brother... that's NOT Jaegermeister!

[Dude! Sweet!]

OK, a couple of oldtimey shots... Pepe told me that it originally looked just like "TV6 Perfect Escape". I don't have a picture of the 24 Bad Temper, but Pepe said if he finds one he'll let me know.

I do have a picture of the 28 Bad Temper (middle boat as I recall) and one of the team guys (over our fearless-leader's shoulder).

OK, so this is how she looks now... A pair of 1998 200 Yammies on an SMI bracket and the infamous "boner-in-sweat-pants" stand up bolsters.

might wanna lay off the carbo's before you step on that fender again!

I got a rubber bungee cord holding the 28 fenders on! This is a step up!

[Dude! Sweet!]

So my plan right now is to lower the seat bases (gonna cut down the supports) so it's a sitdown boat and tear out the cabin floor (its a bit, um "rude") and then repaint the cabin with bare stringers. I'm also going to ultimately change the deck hatch, put 260 tabs on it, install hull mounted water pickups and redo the purple upolstery...

I was in the cabin Sunday with a claw hammer "fixing" the floor!

Yup, I thought you guys knew I had it now.

Jo also gave me some pics from when it was getting re-rigged that I'll try to scan. A guy named Mandy in Miami did it I guess?

Thing looks RACEY in the water. People figure it must be a 90mph boat. Ha ha ha.

install hull mounted water pickups

and unbury the props. The propshafts are about 6-7" below the hull...

I'm also in for $20.

Sean, can't wait to see everything coming together.
I've been kind of in a holding pattern on my boat until I start seeing some incoming money. Not to mention, even going out and doing cheap stuff isn't going to happen when it's 115+ outside...

[Dude! Sweet!]

Tim has a job for a week and he's already lighting cigars with $100 bills!

Hey, tomorrow is two weeks!
Let's just say I'm a generous guy in both my money, and my time and dedication when it becomes boating related.
I should probably rescind the offer, that $20 could make the difference whether I make it to KW this year, and right about now, it ain't looking good at all.

[Dude! Sweet!]

KW falls on my wifes b-day every year, so I've got to have cash and throw down a "big johnson" to make that trip... Ah well, maybe next year!

Actually, pic#1(TV6boat) is the reason I went with sitdown
