First Alky Boat

[David Weaver]

Engine and boat makes?

[Jeff Lytle]

Konig 125cc and a Butts ?? Kinda' hard to see the engine, but judging by the stinger length, it dosn't look like a 250.

[David Weaver]

That is one out of two. Konig FM(?) 125 and a Yale.

Now, a 6-pack if you can guess who I bought it from!!

[Jeff Lytle]

EEeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww !! AMERICAN BEER????? :eek: :eek:

You gotta do better than that !!

[David Weaver]

Any beer that you want.....

Here is a hint P-104.

Dwight McClennan?? (Shot in the dark)

[Mike Schmidt]

The person is mentioned in another part of this site. The boat was not built for this person, but was built for Skip Birbarie. The person got it from Skip. If it came with the good gearcase, Brad Snow built it for Uncle Nick.

Right State.

I should have known that Mike would get it, because he purchased a 250 Yale from the same couple. If I recall that 250 Yale had won a Nationals (or placed second) at Alex.

Just curious ... how would that vintage Konig 125 match up with todays Rossi, Macs etc.?

[David Weaver]

The Konig would be 10-15 mph off the pace. It was also less reliable / more temperamental. Vibrated like hell! But it was a fun ride.

Didn't I ran third at the Ackworth reNationals with that boat.......

Dave

and I think I may know who also

[David Weaver]

Yes, that is the same boat that you got a third with at Acworth. I believe that we sold it shortly thereafter. The engine is supposed to be in Elizabeth City or Richmond. Wish I could get it back!

[David Weaver]

We got the boat from Ralph and Jane Smith of Ridley, PA. What a great couple that I dearly miss. Jane was one of a kind! Plenty sweet and plenty of attitude, always enough of each at the right time. Ralph loved boat racing as much as anyone that I ever knew.
