Diamonds In The Ruff.

Well, here we are folks. Our very own thread. To say this has been an OZ like dream would be accurate. My parents sent us to bed before the dream sequence. Flying monkeys indeed. Give me some helium, and I can do the whole show by myself.

Spoke with Mark Hauptner today. He is the owner and designer of Ocean Master. He raced with Carl from Haulover to Key West in Carl`s boat. Was it My Flying Machine? More to come on that. Mark said they were running special bronze props and all had cracks at the end of the race. As Moesly came to the dock, he engaged the center 110 in reverse and the blades fell off. They set an outboard record at 62. Mark`s advice was just as the good Padre`s. Twins.
I`ll be sure to stock up on Pampers. Mark said these boats are so steep and deep that a single would get dirty water even with a 30" leg and a Potter/Hermco bracket. Balance was also at the fore. Being steep and deep has its advantages, bit it can also bite you badly as Carla and Mark have said. As a hard core ski racer as a child, I know what it means to catch an edge
and be staring at a tree with your name on it...

I thank all of you for your continued patience. I want an accurate back story for the library.
Many calls to make. The piece of steel in the transom was just a square rock. Marine Tex for now.
Got a 19 x 29 tarp and some trash bags.

Thanks all,
Humble Sandman

Ken, would you post that furry hat. Thanks.


Feelin`like Charlie Brown. I got a rock, and what a rock she is. Brian came over and flattened the heels of his hands. He left with a big smile on his face.
