Whiskers At Irvine, September 25, 2007

[Ron Hill]

Well... Seems I went to Apple Valley marine to get our boat for the Enduro...

Well, after thirty minutes of.................I posted some pictures from today from my new camera....Hmmm....And Maxi says, "Where are his props for 'Whiskers'???" What are those things, hood ornaments????

[MAXIMUS]

With friends like you Ron who needs anything else...:rolleyes: Ron was a huge help yesteday... he whipped in jumped out mumbled some stuff, took pictures of my ***, then was gone with the wind??? I looked up & asked Grich, where the hell did Ron go... Grich replied.... back to never never land!:D Seriously Ron thank you for all your help! And by the way get that damn prop done so I can test again on tuesday!!!!!!!! Don't make me send Rocco & Bruno down to collect it!:eek:

[Ron Hill]

When I get a FULL DAY's PAY, I put in my two hours....At least there were SOME people at Irvine that were nice to me.... "WITH FRIENDS LIKE ME".....I used to have a lot of friends, but most have died...

Thanks to the dedicated patrol boat, and UNSUNG HERO...SOrry I don't know his name...

AND it ain't MY FAULT THAT SUCKER ONLY GOES 65 MPH ...It is an inboard isn't it? How fast do you expect a boat named "WHISKERS" to go??? Seems it should cruise down to the bar and have a cocktail!!!!! And watch the race!

PLAN B is a "RACE BOAT" name, but "Whiskers"???? I didn't see no kitty cats hanging around!!!

Just noticed the patrol boat has the same name as you ...

[MAXIMUS]

You just wait! I am going to make you famous again!:D Your prop won in 2005, your prop is going to win again in 2007. Plus the party & cocktails is more satisfying when I can rub it in!:D Again thank you for all your help! I don't care what Grich & Jim say about you I think you are ok...;)

[MAXIMUS]

Its 11:23 & I am getting ready to go... better have my propeller ready there Mr Ron Hill!:cool: I am ready to go fast! :D

[gn7]

do you work? couldn't help but notice that the picture right after you *** crack, is a picture of Grich fondling himself:rolleyes: :eek: :confused:

[Ron Hill]

I learned that the name "Whiskers' came from looking at the boat from the front...Maximus says she looks like a Cat Fish.....

Truth is, I always love boat names. 40 years from now, no one will remember the boat number or who owned it, but they will remember "WHISKERS"...

I didn't get to the lake yesterday......I WORK for a living.... and usually, I never get calls about props unless they "SUCK"....BUT "WHISKERS" owner IS DIFFERENT.... thanks for the EARLY MORNING CALL to tell me how pleased you were with my work.

See you this weekend at Ming...I still have my money on "OLD SCHOOL" in Nostolgia Endurance....If I'd been elected, Nostalgia would have had beach starts like 45 and GN!!!! Just an FYI!


I'm making odds for Parker.....you can bet at the casino .......LOL!

Whiskers is 5 to 1: Bet five that is wins, get 6 back!

[MAXIMUS]

Old school is going to look like an ice cream wrapper floating in the water as I fly over the top of it & chop it up with my patend Ron Hill IV blade wiz bang *** kicking water chopper!:D :D Thank you so much for coming through in a short time. Not many people you can count on these days. With out help from Grich, You & Jim Wilkes this program might not be what it is today! Makes it a lot of fun too... I owe you big time Ron! Hookers, vodka, lunch at Ihop whatever!:D

Whisker: 1 pl the hair on a man's face 2 a long hair, as on a cat's upper lip.....


There is an "H" in whiskers........

[Tomtall]

Ya , I like it!:)

[MAXIMUS]

definit resemblance...:rolleyes:

[Ron Hill]

about the same speed.....

[647and918]

about the same speed.....

Wow... Is that good or bad???

[capnzee]

I have heard that whiskers is making WELL over 90 mph with the new 4 blade prop. I mean WELL OVER! If this is true it could make for a very interesting race. I think we are over the 35 boats required to run this race and hear we have some real hot jet boats in Division I. Not too many GN's at Bakersfield???I hope it is because they are all getting ready for Parker--after all, this is the type of race a GN class boat is supposed to be made for--so what is happening in that class? The big boat with twin Suzuki's has reported in and is supposed to be on it's way--if it runs like most of Pipcorn's boats, look out for it--It will run fast. I guess the competition got too hot for those half million dollar "ski" boats, haven't heard much from them. Apparently we are going to have a couple of Division III boats this year, one of them being the new super green Evinrude on Fred Bowdens Stoker hull, engine prepared and set-up by Al himself. I have just finished a new rudder for the "Body Snatcher" --guaranteed to tame the torque--if it works, I may sell it under the trade name "Torque Tamer". Lots of action here, hope it all comes together. I will need help setting the course early Saturday morning. Any takers? Ross hasn't asked me yet, but I imagine he will. :) Rod

[Ron Hill]

Wiskers or Whiskers.....I hope you run a good strong third.

I was thinking catfish don't swim too fast..but I should watch my mouth as we have a NO SLAM policy....and "Wisker's" Owner is giving us a gas tank for "OLD SCHOOL"...

[MAXIMUS]

Careful Ron...:D & its Wiskers without the "H"!:mad:

[Ron Hill]

I just wanted everyone to know THE REAL RON HILL. Maximus is welding us up a tank, with fillers and hose connectors and all for "OLD SCHOOL"....

Here is my message I left on Ben's (Maximus's) phone...

Ben,

The tank will fit perfectly. Please weld the filler cap on and return line connectors. Please try to get it to my shop by noon tomorrow (Friday) as Tinker and I like to eat at 12.

Be sure to bring the old tank...

Now, with frineds like, Ben doesn't need people telling him how to SPELL WISKERS!

ADD: Of course, I expect everything for FREE and Ben ALWAYS pays in advance for his MANY propellers.

[capnzee]

Ron, why do you keep posting pictures of that ol' Hallett? Hallett Hydros were dogs then and never got any better. There was a day when a Hallett hydro was a good boat but that was long before he built your "pre-fab". TIJUANA TAXI was an example of one of his good hydros! You have run so many good boats in your day, why not post the GLASTRON with the twin rudes, or the DeSilva your dad and I spent so many hours painting-by the way, you never did pay me--bet you wish you had that catboat back! :) Rod

Bad news... I blew up the gas tank & dropped the lower unit. Before I could pick it up my bulldog chester had his way with it & now it is a real mess...:eek: Could take some time & serious dollars to repair now!:D
