    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?

    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.

Q . & just by chance did you also get the part that was made from the hull mold ?

    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 .

    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?

    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......

    For DD.....

    Anyone know if it's true there were also stepped hull inserts?????
    Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!
