The boats he raced werent his. Years ago he showed me the photo from the chopper were he's standing on the bottom of the hull, waiting to be picked up. Supposedly they were leading the race easily when it sounded like a bomb went off, imediately the water started coming in, so they aimed towards a sandbar. he said at one point he looked back and the motors were under water, even the distrubutors (I think they were magnetos), only the horns of the Fuel injection were out and they were still running, but eventually they cut out. According to him, after some arguing they took the hull back to Jack Kramer and Mark Macmanus where it was quickly dissapeared., And they got another hull made, at cost. He's been looking for the photo if he finds it ill post it. Ill also ask the name of the boat.

Found out from a good source. The name of the boat was Flap Jack. Supposedly one of the lightest 41's ever made. Im preatty sure Quam didnt own it by then. The boat was dissapeared assumed distroyed. When this happened the paint job had been changed and it wasnt being raced under Flap Jack anymore, I dont know What it was called when it broke yet.

I haven't checked with Bob lately but probably more to come once the skin is done.. I'll update the thread once I get them. The owner is taking the project once piece at a time so it's not a rush job.:cheers2:

Rich Cipullo, George Morales and Bob Idoni picking up another checkered flag, with this boat on its way to what would become its 3rd consecutive world Champion ship!! 46' triple engine boat. Old school racing!!

Sean, any idea if/when they damned the 47' to make the 45', did they add rocker to the rear quarter of the boat? Maybe 2ft wasn't enough?

From what I know of the 36' (damned 41'), when they got the plug from Ben they had to build rocker into the bottom so it functioned correctly.:driving:

Dammed.

Looks like your right

Was watching battle of the seas 2 and was impressed with Warrior. At the start of the race, i believe in AC, they just took off and out accelerated everyone including predator and lethal weapon. Does anyone know their setup back then. We are setting our boat to accelerate hard, thanks

I think Warrior was a D-class boat?

PS, turn up the surround sound for Alez Vite running the merc 1000's in Key West!!!!

How'd you like the Atlantic City race?

 

[DrGaryDC]

Frank, you are correct, D class, they were all running around 800 hp at the time with a max of 550 cubic inches, high compression. I was impressed how Warrior ran, i believe that is now island racer. Correct me if im wrong

Chill Out Warrior is now Island Racer, Dr. was that the year AC was really rough?

 

[Geronimo36]

Warrior became Chill Out Warrior, then Island Racer I think. The "Warrior" graphic is exactly the same between the two with the difference being Chill Out on one from what I remember. I could be wrong, it's been a while seen I saw the vids.

I hear ya Garry, I too thought they were running really strong thru that chop!!

I really liked the head/head battle in the atlantic city race with Predator... The camera angle with the sun light was a little rough but they were going head/head for quite some time!

 

[DrGaryDC]

Just watched the start again, it was in AC, it doesnt look incredibly rough. Island runner, lethal weapon, predator all running bout the same. Warrior took off like a bat out of hell

 

[DrGaryDC]

I am so looking forward to AC this year. Bring on the big stuff

Who owned Island Runner in the video? Was that before Kerbeck owned the boat?

 

[DrGaryDC]

Not sure, will have to watch again

Nope .... I think that was him in the video ? It's almost time to break those out !!! :driving:

Warrior, Chillout Warrior, and Mohican Warrior.....were all the same owner Rolli Pena who sold the boat to Paulie LaSassa who named it Island Racer!!!

 

[DrGaryDC]

Yeah, that is what i figured. Anyone know the setup he was running, drives, gears, props, rpms, etc
