Thanks for taking us along for the ride. I sold my flatty years ago and now wish I still had it. Was a 1965 Bob Warren Hurricane 17ft glass over wood, mahogany deck and a 327 vette with a Hallcraft v-drive and hardware . Used to cruise Lake Nacimiento in Paso Robles most of the time. Was once gonna attend a v-drive regatta at the river in Parker AZ. and backed out last minute in fear of sinking my boat from a wake of a large offshore boat but I see that it's not that bad over there after watching your video. Take care and keep making cool videos with your flatty!

Dana had to watch your video again. It's really cool. Like when you were deciding to speed the boat up to hit awake from just one single boat and you just kind of glance off the three little waves like a MX bike. And you're both just sitting in the clear water with the sun reflection on your boat and the water and just really gave you a really good feel of what was going on. So what was the dino reading on your new motor? Cuz I got no clue.

It’s some great folklore actually. As I understand it Bob Goettel wanted to buy another boat but he wanted one like Julian was racing, not what he was selling everyone else. Julian didn’t like being accused of that so he wouldn’t sell him a boat at all. So Bob splashed the one he had and named the new boat company Revenge boats. You can spot a Revenge by the raised rib down the center of the deck. B boats are all smooth decks. And thank you for the compliments.
