Need somebodies old headers we can cut down, sandblast and BBQ black. Got NO money in this thing yet! We also need an oilpan s if anybody has parts for free or cheap..or trade let us know. Just having fun with it......

HD thats a very cool (and rather complete) Old flat hard to say, the Pics are huge I'll tyry to shrink them for a better look . look on the tops of the stringers at the transom for any Id marks Tom
-
Aquacraft.
-
Yeah, those pictures are very big. When I click on 'em I get about 1/8 of the thing.
I was going to say Stevens or Brendella?
-
Maybe this will work better...

much better, both of my original guess's were wrong going by those gunales. From the front, the bottom looks just like my old Buck Smith. That deck has me stumped'

anyone seen this post on craigslist? Don't know who Taylor was back in the day, if it was the same tayor in the 70's but it's pretty cool project. I really like the transom.

Quick thread jack, I don't think HD will mind, how fast will a well built 327 move that flatty?
-
I have no idea, why would you want to go fast in that thing anyway? It'd be cool just to cruise in. ;)

Thats the idea, just a mild 454....looks fast. I got my Sanger but I'm kinda getting a local kid into this, show him theres other stuff to do then go to bars and/or drink all night in the parks...just a matter of time. The boats pretty much all there and it's low buck. The guy is a good kid, if we can save just one......it's all worth it, right?
-
The kid says he aint riding in mine again anytime soon, I guess he doesnt like his brand, pardon the pun, new "Rewarder" Tattoo. So, he can put this one together and follow me.

I'm old Sav, he'll prolly pass me.......now we have toyed w/ the idea of putting my blown small block in there....for a minute, but really it's for him to learn on. At 65-70 MPH he'lll think he's doin a buck twenty.
-
damn hd build me a boat ;D thats pretty cool though

Terry that sure does, That is the closest one I have ever seen. Spittin imgage of one of those Aquacraft boats.
-
yea, look at Marks lake Martinez post. The black boat is an Aquacraft.......I talked to the guy about buying it before I found the Sanger. It had a scattered blower motor but the guy wouldnt take any pics unless I was gonna buy it. Not the guy who has it now. I hear the guy likes it and it runs well, roller motor. Hope to run w/ him someday soon.

Last I heard, the Aquacraft was going to get completely stripped and parted out...
-
GREAT, thanks Rod. Hey I need some stuff......

The owner of the Aquacraft is a regular lurker and if he's interested I'm sure he'll get to Marc or myself.

He's keeping everything and just changing hulls to a Sanger.

Oh...atta boy

HD , if you come across a nice bare hull for cheap let me know!
-
I am also a lost little boy... Any other master craftsmen out there wanna show me there are other things in life? Things like building V-drives...
-

i just met a guy that has like 20 boats in his back yard what do you want to spend
-
Cool, I'll be in Parker this w/e. Gimme a call, maybe we can swing by 702 374-8108
Sure Undone, whatcha wanna build?
-
One day I'd like to build a sanger v-drive. I love the transom on them. A boat doesn't get much sexier. As for now, the real estate market is coming down and I would like to get a house...
-
you should buy out this way stuffs pretty cheap
-
That's what I hear. I'd like to buy something along the river as a rental property but we'll see how it all goes... The market doesn't seem like it's gonna be making too much of a comeback over there. It wasn't all that strong to begin with, unless you're right on the water.
-
Any updates on the flatty.

-
I have a 70 aquacraft and the transom is differant then the one the u are talking about as for the one with all the boats in the back yard what kind of boats and brand names of these is there? im interested in trading mine for mini day crusier

Parts pile is getting bigger....Sorry i lost the software i used to resize pics :banghead:
-
The correct tunnel ram, Bassett "T" and baffles are at Sanfords house. Need pistons, oil pump drive and pickup, pushrods, bellhouseing and water pump. Called to day about some JE pistons w/ dimples hangin off 'em.
-
sounds cool. Kids gotta be getting stoked. If you need anything brought out that way, I'm gonna be driving through Vegas on my way to Colorado on thursday or friday night.
-
gettin some gas caps from JBP, you near them? Need a place to stop gimme a call
-
I have a oil pump drive with your name on it. :)
-
cooo
-
Do you need a 454: flywheel? flexplate? balancer?
-
got all that, need (good) pushrods, water pump, oil pump pickup and a bellhousing for v-drive w/ railkit
-
... need (good) pushrods...
I'm looking at my solid roller lifters and they sure look a lot taller than a regular BBC hydraulic lifter, am I going to need to get different pushrods, Terry?
-
the deck and transom look wrong for aquacraft i have a 70

-
cocain, i dont know if they're smokin it or snortin or what. Drinkin and drivin around all night. Like I said, it's only a mater of time.
-
Sorry to hear that, sometimes it too hard to stay away from that crap if you have a history.
So what is the plan with the flatty?
Has there been much done since the last pictures?
Are you thinking package deal with the engine you had?
-

Damn, that sucks! Hope you didnt get hurt in the process. Regardless, props to you for at least giving it a shot with the kid.

Basicaly just stripped and cleaned up, collected a butt load of parts. My Sanger keeps me purty busy. I just started tossing around the idea of unloading it, no idea what to ask for it. I also have a '56 chevy, blown small block and a '57 harley, Truck....you know the drill
-
Now i know you got to have some chevy parts i need ;D
-
I am very interested!! Do you have any pics of it cleaned up?
-
No fresh pics, after seeing the '89 outlaw for sale I'm pretty sure I could never get any money out of it
-
Hey I feel your pain, my 18year old was going to the navy, started hangin w/the wrong friends and within 1 1/2 months he's stuck on meth! as a father THIS hurts! all we can do is keep the faith! hey we all did this or that, It's how we come back that makes us who we are right? Well I can't give up I still have 2 girls and 1 more boy to raise! We are men, we are roll models, we are created in his image!!! GOD bless bro! keep trying!
-
Not my kid, but I tried. I have a sister we've been battling meth with for over thirty years, four or five kids. The whole famliy has been thru it all, robbed houses and the whole bit.

Aquacraft Passing a Sanger ??? :o
-
Looks like a spico early 70's. I had on one in the early 80's stationary cavitation plate. same sides on top curved at front pass and drivers side.
-
Here's an old spico for ya. Early 70's I think. Belonged to friend of mine.
[attachimg=1]
-
What stumps me is the steps in the gunwales(sp), kinda like my sanger but more dramatic. I've seen 'em like that on aquacraft and raysoncraft, I dont see anything on the spico. Cavs are foot operated. It had budweiser all over it and the trailer.
-
Anybody wanna trade a cruiser or sumpthin the ole lady can drive for this thing?
-
Ok I gotta unload this thing. I got three boats and no where to put them or time to work on 'em. It's been cleaned and stripped. Floor wasnt too bad after cleaning. Prolly 90% complete, needs paint and assembly. Comes w/ 'glass seats and BBC w/ tunnel ram. Make offers Boys...maybe we can auction it off....rafel?
-
I gotta be first $50.00 >:D
-
Damn it. I was gonna tell the first smart ass, laugh now wait till this thing is sitting in your front yard! Guess your safe Gord.
-
why you can deliver it here Terry :thumbup:

Ok, now we just need to negotiate the delivery fees.....This could end up costing me money :banghead:
-
If I had money, room, and time I'd be ALL over it Terry.
This little gem haunts my dreams!

-
You havent even seen the hardware! Yea it would make a nice start for someone. I was plesently surprised last time I saw it and looked at the floor. I gotta guy whoes gonna put it in white epoxey for me here pretty soon.........anybody?
-
If you lived closer I'd pick that thing up in a heartbeat! I think it would take me about 24hrs to get there! That's a perfect project for my "adopted" little brother lol.
-
What are you askin for it?
Fat fingered from the phone-Corey

Maybe that or I'm thinking '66 Aquacraft. Talked to Casale, said they have records on v-drives where it went what boat etc. Boat had Budwieser all over it originally.
-
By any chance was this boat in or near Clear Lake, California. .If so I know who one of the owners were. Maybe can find out more info for you.
GARY.

No idea where it came from. The owner died, was a barber is all I know. Was in Cali tho. What do you know about Clear Lake? Used to go there as a kid. Just saw a resort for sale up there, 3 docks, 45 units...4.3 million.
-
My aunt and uncle lived there for years. She was a bar tender at a bar on the water. My cousins friend owned the true value hardware store and used to race a southwest tour car. His name was Richie. He traded his race car for that boat. Did alot of hot laps past the bar. If its the same boat. Inever saw the boat in person just pictures. The boat said Budwieser down the sides too. That is probably the only one.
