Your starting to sound like me now, I managed to fit a '66' Chevy II, a front engine dragster, a T-Bucket (dis-assembled, there's a good story behind that one!), three spare engines, two spare 700R4's, and a whole mess of other crap in a 10x20 storage unit during my last deployment.

I think I may have found a title for it.
I know this has been dead for a while, but if I am not mistaken, the GFD used to belong to John White. This was one of the first flats he had and I think he ran it as a lake racer about 86-87. I think we had put a 427 .030 over and the boat never got happy. Most likely the plates needed to be properly set. He sold this boat to Gary Dieterling in South Houston and I had heard that Gary had broken the crank on the San Jac one day. Then, later he had put in a mild 350 just to ride, but I think eventually got bored with it. John went on to race a few more boats after that, LOL, but I think he will always remember this one. ::grin:
Yeah, the same Juan Blanco. I'm his brother and helped on this one too. Take a close look at the yellow stripe. If there is a very narrow green stripe at the point where the yellow and blue meet, then this is definately the same boat. (That was my idea, LOL) Actually looked really good. Let me know if this fits and I will get Juan to come in and look.

Hey George, looks like his description to me!!!
now for a quick little Hi-jack...
Hey TFHcrew,
ever heard of a '74 Sanger Hydro that was raced under the name 'Cranky Yankee' ?
don't know what it looked like then, but it's red and blue now

Hey Gen, She's pretty but I don't remember her to tell the truth. Yeah, that's GFD that John had. Note the transom, look at the paint as I described it. Also, I got to remembering, this particular Hondo had been set up as a circle racer and had a skag in her belly. Does she still? I have a call in to John and am waiting to hear back from him. We used her to ski a lot as well. AHHHHH, Memories!
OK, finally talked to John to jog my memory. He only raced this hull at 2 events, brackets both times, Waco and Monroe LA. I was right on the transfer to Gary. That was when John bought "Religous Indecesion", a really light flat compared to the heavy Hondo. He said he will come in here and take a look. Couldn't believe GFD was still around.
