Wonder if it could be a Shock Wave. But those were glass.

This boat is all wood, including the cowl!!

Hmmm, to FE or to Nitro...let me know what you do Darin!

 

[wayne middlemiss]

Kris was that Jim rossiters?

 

[Kris Flynn]

Hi Wayne,

That sounds like his name...Tony G had it at the Carribean christmas sale thingo...good for $50 i think

Do you have any other history on it? (sorry Darin, hope you don't mind!)

 

[Darin Jordan]

Not at all, Kris... This is all interesting to me. I like finding the history of these hulls. Also like restoring and putting them back into action!

 

[wayne middlemiss]

Steve fox could tell you more on it . When I first seen the boat It was a freshly constructed boat but as to which plans I have no clues kris. Ken Cunningham , or rod burrage maybe could help fill some history for you.

Its one of my old Frank/Wiebelhaus Sport 40's, I built 4 of them, look at the drivers, and me !!

 

[Darin Jordan]

Joe, are you referring to my boat or Kris'?

Looks a lot like the hull in the first post, not being able to see the bottom.

 

[Joe Wiebelhaus]

No, your hull, first pics posted. The tank thru the bottom, rear servo box, cut sponson tips, thats me.

There you go kris solved , I was thinking that it could have been from frank plans.

 

[Darin Jordan]

No, your hull, first pics posted. The tank thru the bottom, rear servo box, cut sponson tips, thats me.

Joe, that is excellent news! So that means it's NOT a modified Dumas then?

I'd be interested in any other information you might be able to provide. I think, knowing this, that I may try to restore it back to what it is and go ahead and do a Sport 40 with it.

Can't wait to get it into my shop!

If you have any other pics or setup information, etc., can you e-mail it to me at: [email protected] ?

Would appreciate any info you may have.

Thanks!

 

[Kris Flynn]

Yep Good work guys! great pickup for myself and Darin by the look of it!!

I would not have asked Steve anyway Wayne, he thinks I am a fool, pretty sure it is a pot calling the kettle black situation though

Paul raced a Dave Frank Sport 40 back in the late 80s,early 90s. He won a lot of races with that boat.
