WOW, And to think that it started out as a pickup truck of plywood and lumber. Very nice job. At least you could have a second career if the farming does not work out for you. Cant' wait to see it scoot. Again NICE JOB.

If it were white with red trim, it would remind me of the Mach 5.

Go speeeed Racer, go Speed Racer, go Speed Racer... gooooooooo!

Um.. Looking good Mark.

ORIGINAL: Mark S


I know it doesn't look like it's anything all that intricate or difficult to build in these pictures, but as a carpenter, trust me; it takes alot of skill and planning to make anything functional out of wood look this simple. The design Mark came up with for the interior-construction (bulk-heads, etc) was really ingenious. And you guys won't believe the ideas we've been tossing around for a fan. The steering system is gonna be something. But that's next year's project.

This looks absolutely fantastic Mark. I had no idea you were getting the fenders and platform frame powder-coated so soon. It's beautiful really. And Christine, it may not be stripes, but we're definetly going to be adding some red to this thing, with a little help from some carp, gar and buffs.

You knowMark, those red worklights I use would give this thing the all-American touch. Red lights, red generator....

I'll try to come up ASAP to help rig it. I've been looking forward to that part since the start.

Jeeze, I'm almost as excited to get it finished as you!

What a beauty, you should be extremely proud of yourself. Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like it will be ready for Rend Lake and the Billy Davis tourney. The white hull should really show off all that blood and slime too, not that I'm into that type of thing

Great job Steve and Mark!

Looks like it could double as a parade float.

Mark did it all. I just added a pair of extra hands here and there. But I'll be sure to help mess it up as much as possible when he gets it on the water.
