V-drives for Ratacole

[MOWtown]

Ratacole, here are some of the family v-drives that I told you about on the phone:

My first boat: 1971 Sanger flat

My dad's old Sanger:

The roadster that towed the flat!!! I'll post pictures (when I get a scanner ) of the two together. Absolute perfection...

Nice shit!!!!! Man, you must have been the coolest kid with the most friends. It seemed that your dad pounded V-Drives into your head, why did you switch & does your dad still talk to you http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif I don't know about the side-ways seats, just a little toooooooo close for me. The only thing I like more than V-Drives are Roadsters. To have one pull a flattie........... Nothing Better. I would live in the garage (more than I do now) http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

When he had the white flamed flat, it was his only boat. So if I wasn't there with my boat and he wanted to cruise or ski (great slalom boat, no wake! ) he would throw those side seats in. They went in and out very easy. I converted to an outdrive for a few reasons. I'm from soft bottom lakes. I was always worried about ripping my prop and shaft out of the bottom with all of the rocks around here. Also, I went to an open bow for the little ones to run around (gives mom and dad more time to crack a beer) and I don't know of too many open bow v-drives. Someday, I'll go back but I'm probably done with flats. I'll definitely get a daytona.
