I have had that pipe 30 years. Don't think that I could sell it for $55. This may be fun.Ill take it Mark. Hows $55. Thanks so much.I have this very rare Equi pipe. Its is one of the pipes that the first dies were made from. It is a hammer out pipe and John made many of these as he was working out the details. I got this pipe from the person that was helping John with the dies and having them welding together. He was a old boat racer that pasted away a few years back. The Huntsville club had about thirty members and they all ran outboards with John's Pipe. Of course he had everyone that ran outboards running his pipes that was in the southeast back then and the rest is history. If I remember, Pete the racer that I got this pipe from said that this was the number two pipe that John every made. It was sort of payment for helping with the welding. I had two of these pipes and other one of them was a little later version of this pipe that I welded together myself and made a little change in stinger size after I started running it. The motor I had was a repaired motor by K&B that had broke on it's first crankup. I ran the motor for a few years but then started running more rigger hydro's. Let my good friend Bob Londress used the motor and him and John set up the yellow DNE Leecraft tunnel boat. John went thru that motor and said that it was the best K&B motor that he had ever seen. Don't know were the motor is now and not worried about it.
So now anyone want to bid on this pipe?
" And the first bid is?"
