The exhaust throttles could be Bishop Marine Designs, cannot really tell from this photo. He made some good exhaust throttles about that time.

I also made some exhaust throttles that Mike Wisniewski sold. Then Mike sold or gave the design to Gardner.

Howard Weeks did keep a lot of Bishop's parts in his hobby shop. I used Bishop Exhaust throttles and several of his parts. Joe Bishop made a lot of stuff. He also made a rigger kit and a canard kit.

Hi Andy,

Jim Courtwright of Stuart, FL I think, my oldest daughter can still remember a lot of the addresses of our regular prop customers, Jim was a regular and I think he was a member of the space coast r/c boat club wasn't he? Isn't the internet great!

Thanks, John

The rigger was called the Phantom. Cannot remember the canard. I think that he lived in Oklahoma at one time.

FYI John Finch had a 3 book series as pictured here. The model marine engine book is by Al Hobbs.

Ray Hyde was producing an outrigger called the Phantom, was he not? Remember him running a Rossi 45 worked by Simpson in one.

I had a Phantom rigger produced by Bishop Marine. Had a full cowl on it, with all sponsons adjustable. Cool looking boat. Would like to have another one.

 

[Curtis Maglinger]

Not sure. It has a ton of stuff in it. Even a young John Otto.

Yup, John without the beard. Who's the guy with the canard?

Larry Maglinger with the Stiletto F-Hydro Canard. The standard Stiletto was a much better boat.

I remember a Doug McNeely from Miami? that had a 3-engine rigger at the Bartow, Fl Nats around '83 or '84.....I was 8 at the time.....was so cool, it stuck in my memory

 

[El Zorro]

It was a yellow outrigger boat with 3 .45's in it. I saw it at the Orlando Winternats in 1985, I believe.

That was it! Phantom. Very nice boat! And yes, everything was adjustable. Sponsons, up, down, in, out. Solid shaft drive line was also fully adjustable. The engine could be adjusted up and down and the bearing blocks for the shaft, as well as strut. A guy in the Broward club had one with a Rossi 65. I ran really well...and fast.

The Bishop canard was a 3.5cc size. I don't know if there were other sizes.

Doug McNeely had a Yellow Pinckert Daytona with 3 K&B 7.5 O.B. powerheads that turned the square drive shafts via the PTO. He ran the boat in 85'-86'.

That jogs my memory Ken. I saw that Twin. I not sure but the guy that built the Rossi 65 powered Phantom may be the ame as your teacher with the Twin. His name escapes my memory. The time would have been about 1977-78.

Also the AOA was adjustable Is name was Howard Huddel lives in west Melbourne fl. i brought a boat to class in 9th grade to show him he was hooked we built his boats in class.he ran rossi 65 with a blue head.That twin boat was fastest boat I have ever driven.I had a chance to buy him out when I had return from the army in 86

But but at that time was doing other things. Last I knew he still has it all.would love to find the drawing to that boat.

That was him Ken! Howard Huddle! I have used to have pics of his boats. Wonder if I could find them...if they even still exist.

 

[dwilfong]

Larry told me a bout a 3 eng K&B .45 he built.

Would be nice to have carbon fiber hardware for sponsons like the phantom had back then. I would buy an use today!!!
