It's cool to see someone keep the same boat for years, and still enjoy it just as much as when they bought it! clap.gif clap.gif clap.gif clap.gif clap.gif

Some of  us keep same boats for awhile.  I picked up Sides in Jan  1980 and  it  is still in my possession today. Purchased stage II rigging.  Took Jerry engine, he mounted and I took back to West TX. and finished fuel lines, gas tanks etc.  Once running brought it to FTW and Also first time I met E.O.  We took it to Marine Creek and finished tweaking the set up. It is sitting now with new 572 in it and just need to finish rigging it up.  Hope to have in water this summer.  I still have pics taken at the boat shop when the motor was being mounted and seat brackets being fitted to my height.

Also on the hair turning issue.  I have passed the 2Nd turning.... (gray).  I am into the third turning WHITE......... only one more turn... loose......

Here is shot from summer of 1982 taken Lake Fort Phantom Abilene, TX.

Thanks, it's a 1978 Hondo XH511T that followed me home in pieces in April of 92. I built a motor and got it together for that summer and have been tweaking on it every since. However after the 99 race season the bottom contour was changed and hardware was relocated and it was 75% rerigged. Not to mention capping the seam and paint.

So is that a "Sideskraft" then? A friend on mine just bought one. I guess you took the award so far having it from 1980 until present.  clap.gif

So how about some details on the 572 and some more pictures please?  :smile17:
