Well, in later years there was a shallow ski tower attached to the top of the transom of that boat, which pulled a number of hockey celebrities (legends).
I have that tower on my boat.

My only regret is that there are no signatures on it. Crying or Very sad

Maybe a little DNA Laughing

James - any idea what that scoop looking contraption on boat #345 is?

Having built a wacky type contraption like that myself I'd guess a camera mount????
other than that I'd have to pass that q to Alex????

It looks to me to be an oil cooler. But, because this is racing, it's more than likely some sonic ignition disruptor, aimed to take out any competitor that may get in front of you, only disguised as an oil cooler.

If I remember right that was an oil cooler, but there was also some talk about that boat using fuel for cooling too. I believe that was Ed Turgeons boat, but that was a few years back now. Some of the veterans could probably clear this up!

The tower on Bobs Kwik Kraft was an oil cooler...

yes just got the demo's yesterday. I have hardly had a chance to watch it yet but will keep you posted. Ive been asked by the producers to offer comments and then we'll see how it proceeds from there.
My first quick run thru indicates there is some very cool and rare footage on this DVD I have never seen before

X-man,
Sign me up for a copy of the DVD, let me know how much and I'll get the cash to you when I come for my parts run in may!
There was an old travel Alberta movie made on the year that Peter Pocklington spit Glen Sather into the Smokey!! I was just a kid then, checking out the movie with the salesman for Marathon Marine and my dad. We ended up buying our fist jet right after that, movie still sharp in my mind since then. Didn't think that years later I would be racing, with my son growing up a jet boater!! Full circle my man!!
Hows the jet coming along?

Sandman just noticed this post, your memories will be refreshed that movie you speak of is on the DVD if I recall. I know I have seen the one you're talking about.
We'll keep you guys posted when final copies are available

Cheers

The two main tracks of the dvd are the 1978 and 1981 World Champs held in Canada. It does have Pocklington losing crew member Glen Sather overboard. The dvd is copies from old vhs tapes - which are slowly degrading - and the history of the sport slowly being lost (so some of the footage is grainy). There is bonus tracks of the Salmon 1993 and NZ Worlds 1993. We did this as a project for ourselves - and thought there maybe some interest in the content. OutlawEagle has a limited few copies - but if there is enough interest we can produce more.
