Roostertails Unlimited Light

[Roger Hooks Jr.]

Years ago I was looking through a Unlimited Hydroplane book of some sort. It wasn't mine I was borrowing it from someone for another paint project but I don't remember who. I saw this unlimited light boat called Roostertails. I like the paint scheme and thought a Phil Thomas Super Sport 45 with a Stealth cowl would make a good fit. I was wondering if anyone has seen this boat and if so... is there a resource for pictures somewhere?

If you're talking about the book called Roostertails 99' you borrowed it from me to do the graphics for Len's U-15 United Furniture Warehouse. Sure miss that book. I don't recall a UL called Roostertails in it.

Another good source of pictures for UL's is a program called "Thunder and Lights". I have a couple but I'm sorry to say your library card at this branch has been revoked

Here's a site with photos of Unlimiteds and UL's

I still have that one and I keep looking in it thinking that is where I saw it but it is not there. It was a very colorful boat. That is why I liked it.

As a matter of fact I am walking down stairs as I type to look at it again just to make sure... and nope. It's still not in here.

I will bring it to the next race Glenn. Will you be there?

Thanks but this isn't the boat I was looking for. The boat that I am looking for is the conventional pickle fork style (Although this boat is cool... I have never seen this before and may reference it later) I think it was red yellow and blue with an actual cartoon of a Rooster on it. I think it was a restaurant called Rooster Tails.

... So the search continues.

By George I think you got it! Thanks. Man the internet is sooooo great... Kids these days have it made. Imagine if we had the internet when we were kids... Book Reports could be done at recess. Thanks again... but now I see all of this cool pics I am starting to like the Beach Boat too.
