What year did Jesse James 48 Race?

Where'd the drives, rudders, etc. all end up? Seems like single-purpose stuff, so I'm guessing none of it's hanging off the back of an American Offshore cat in the Monongahela River...

I have heard various stories.....including:

They were sent to Japan for "analysis"....

They were stolen

They were sold for scrap.


I have no idea, other than that Chris Lavin has a couple of the props.

That's a shame... that whole "sold for scrap thing" is a bummer. I wonder how long before I end up drinking Coors Light out of the big Gentry boat over in MDR...
 
I talked to Craig last nite and the last he knew of the boat was it was moved to the desert for storage. The trailer had the spares in it. It was owned by some Japanese people and he did not remember their names. They wanted to put 4 gentry motors in it but never came up with the money.

The original JJ is down under with f-16 on it with the original paint if someone is interested.

Here are a couple of pictures...they had two different canopies, the second looks much sleeker...
