Guys,

Here we go......... It's that time again.........

I am getting prepaired to start my winter build season and again I am offering the BlackJack21 hydro in a complete kit.

All the wood is built, all the hardware is included. I build all the hardware exclusively for this kit. A few items are getting minimized, along with a few new features, but otherwise the kit will remain unchanged.

The new features are:

A boom mount for the third channel needle of your choice. I currently build a mount for the Russian/CMD needle and the OS In-Flight needle ass'y. If you have something else in mind, I'll have to see what I can come up with.

A 90 degree fuel fitting for the MAC21 carb, if applicable. This is the same fitting I have offered for sale in the past.

Cosmetically, the wood work will be flawless, to the best of my ability, with no sand-through areas and nice, sharp edges. Dimensionally, everything is built off templates, using pins to locate them to the workpiece. I bring my machine trades professional skills into my wood work, ensuring accuracy and consistancy.

The hardware is built with all the care to dimension and details that I use when building missile and space shuttle parts at work. It doesn't take much for me to consider a part to be scrap, and the customer will never see it. An extra set of sponson stubs and boom tubes are also included.

Both Walt Barney and Mike Z make a tank that fits right in.

Price is $750, same as last year. Extra sets of front sponsons will be $125 each.

Here are some pics of my personal boat, during construction and after completion. There are some other pics in this folder, please don't think I'm trying to be misleading.

Delivery is targeted for late February, early March.

Thanks. Brad.

Brad,

Good boat, just needs a setup sheet this year. And a little more support.

Good Luck,

Guys,

I just made arrangements for an incentive:

The first five orders will include a custom poplar stand made by Ron Jefferson. These $40 stands are built specifically for the BlackJack and look as good as the boat itself.

Thanks. Brad.

I'm pretty sure I was one of the first 5 and I didn't get a stand!

Oh, you must be talking about round 2.
 
Joe,

You can include me in that group as well. Group 1 that is. Guess no bonuses for us!

Brad: Maybe we should change the incentives a bit. We'll give Joe and John a stand as well as the first three from this year and let Preston donate 5 sets of his 80mph sponsons. ;) What Y'all think Eh? Thats some Canadian and American lingo mixed together.

I don't have any either. :lol: I got some 75's though. :D
 
I am sad to say I didn't even get the 75 mph much less the 80 mph sponsons. But it is going much better that it was in Aug. It has a lot to go yet. Preston speaks the truth! My Orlic NR is going in the boat right now. No more fooling around!

Guys,

Less than a month before orders are closed. I have two confirmed orders. I'm going to build a maximum of ten.

If you ask around, you'll find that the BlackJack21 has proven to be a strong competitor. I did not get out much this year (a new baby will sure put a cramp in your racing schedule) but my personal boat took home wood at every event except the Masters (my fault, not the boat.)

E-Mail me directly with any questions. Feel free to call as well. (937) 859-0858

Thanks. Brad.

I'd be interested in your personal boat from last year, if you're going to build yourself a new on for next season.

Mike,

I'ts already been sold. With any luck at all, it's sitting on a shelf somewhere in the south, ready for the SGRA Hydro Invitational in Slidell. I'd be glad to build one for you, though...........

Thanks. Brad.

Guys,

This is basically last call. I am making preparations to get started building. If anybody has been thinking about it, now is the time to place an order. Those of you who have contacted me and are planning on it, now is the time to send your deposit.

Guys,

I am nearly finished with my kits for this year (having a brand new baby has taken it's toll on my "building" time). I am going to have a few extra kits, as I always build more than required (toolmaker's habit). These are not "seconds", there is nothing wrong with these kits, and they are COMPLETE kits, so the price stands, although trades will be considered. The deal on the boat stand still applies, too.

If interested, contact me directly by either phone or E-Mail.

Thanks. Brad.

Guys,

It's not too late to go for US-1 with a new BlackJack 21 hydro.

I just thought I'd give it one last "BUMP".

Thanks. Brad.
