That's funny must have come to the end of their life expentency . My neighbor with the Dunphy went down this summer too. Without asking he pulled the whole engine down.

There's a pair for sale on ebay with a make offer listing.

Larry    The manifolds in question are aluminum Interceptor ones for the Ford Y block

You guys are tough...

Which exhaust does it use?

I don't think it's the first, but it is a very early Correct Craft production one.

What all does it need done.....other than the waterlogged engine?

When Larry posted the picture of the Heyday, it took me a few to figure out which end was the stern and which was the bow. Thankfully I spotted the helm wheel!

I wondered what that General Motors guy who designed the Pontiac Aztek was up to these days. Seemed just like yesterday they were playing with their new Star Wars toys,now they are Chief Designers.

You guys are all stuck in the past. Lets get that old dust collecting eyesore out of the lobby and replace it with something more in tune with things to come.

Can't mess with big corporation bottom lines and the CEO's paycheck.. No tax write off fixing up what they consider just an old boat!

Phyllis and I are planning to be there. Daylight time is nice, but I think I would favor dovetailing it with the Tavares show and doing the Oklawaha run on Friday or Saturday. She normally works all day on Fridays, but if need be I could probably talk her into taking the day off. I'm going to work on CC Administration to allow me to bring the '61. It's seriously broken right now; engine filled up with water at the Masters and none of the department heads want to fix it on their budgets. Let's try to get the date settled soon!

In previous SJRR's; we've pretty much winged it on a GAME plan other than the run down the Ocklawaha River to the boat show.

Thursday- what ever folks wanna do. Some wanna head north to "the Glenn" and some south past the bridge and ski/raft up. Boats back on trailers if you're running down the Ocklawaha River in the morning. Dinner usually at the Essex to get your Fried food overdose.

Friday- Depart Parramores at 9:00am for the 32 mile ride to Moss Bluff Ramp. Stop for Gas, Ice etc. Launch and head to the boat show ASAP probably round 10:30..... Bout a 2 hr trip to the show itself. Leave the show round 4:30-5 (depending on what time the Lock closes.) Boats back on trailers and head back to Parramores. Mingle with CCFans and usually head to the Blackwater Inn for dinner and brews.

Sat- What ever folks wanna do. Head to the Spring or ski or whatever. Bring what ya brought cookout at the Rec Hall Sat night round 7-9ish???? Always a issue to set a time as if the conditions are fantastic, CCFans DON"T wanna leave the water.

Sun- Most folks hit the road but a few hang around as Sun is usually the best day as the sun is Hot, water is calm and the St.Johns River is begging to be abused.

Pretty much it.....always subject to change but tis always a fun time. Not too many places that you can run 28+mph for miles and rarely see another boat. Only wakes being made are usually the ones being made by the flotella of CC's.
