OK, Just to keep anyone interested in this thread updated, I have been racking my brain tryin to get George (PRO53) a pic of GFD in her glory days. I remembered that a guy in Houston that bought GFD from John might have a pic and I will try to run him down tomorrow. Lord almighty, it has been 20 years ago and ALOT has happened since then. Hope to find Gary and that he might have a pic. No way I would accept $$ for it tho, the old girl just needs some TLC, paint and HP ;D

Not to mention wheels! (other thread)

In her day, GFD was a head turner. Can't remember how many times we would be driving on 45 and people would get beside us and slow down to look. She will always have a soft place in my heart as she was the first dragboat I ever worked on. Not to mention how much fun it was to ski behind!

Glad to see your getting some progress done. I bet that old gel coat looked pretty cool back in the day. Looks like it would have given Devilman a run for his money with that red metal flake :smile23:
