Capt Mike. Sorry about the threadjack. I saw the Atom Skier at Tavares Show last year. Neat boat. I hope it gets a great CCFan home.....or at least a fair ACBS home..... All the Best!

I think Gary was more concerned you might get offed in your sleep if you-know-who saw what you spent on those manifolds.  Never ever add up your costs!

Yes it is very hard to get any rest with one eye open, so I am told.

Steve,
Do you have any pictures of the finished manifolds? |

I wish I could hide the receipts..... but she loans me the money. She gives me a family discounted rate.
 I need to start a thread for the AT Skier..... since I am farming out all of the restorations now, I have been bad about putting it all together for a post. I did swap the steering wheel resto for some dog cosmetic surgery.

Rhinoplasty for dogs? I am curious about “cosmetic” plastics for pups.

Dr. Steve,
How about a implant for me. I want to be a bigger dog. Woof Woof.  I thought I saw you on the side of the highway with a sign that said dog surgery for boat parts Donald |

Tempted... I may need a recently restored 312 Yblock, and I have a 60 Hp Grays, that I could drop in. On the other hand, just how fast did this little overpowered Atom run at Tavares???

 Steve, Keep in mind that the longer later Atoms got the V8's and the earlier shorter Atoms got the 4 cylinders. BTW, you have a few things to do first before you drop an engine in her!

Pete; Don't I know it... Stem is now removed and re-located to my house, as well as a few other "structural" pieces that need to be recreated. I am hoping that having them "at home" will promote their attention...
Unfortunately, when I winterized Dad's boat - we used it once for a family reunion on the river, the oil came out milk shake... I did check all the cylinders and they were dry as a bone, so that is another project on the list. I am hoping it is just the manifolds, but won't know til I tear into it - if it was catastrophic, well then the 312 out of CaptnMike's Atom could be re-purposed, and I could drop the FireBall or the 60 Hp Gray in that Atom, leaving me the other motor for my atom. Then I just have to find a third and eventually I could gift each of my girls with their very own Atom Skier. Yep, I have clearly lost my mind... |

We park it in front of our shop and get lots of lookers, 1-2 that have been kind of serious, but no takers.
Just hate to see it not being used. |
