That is the way with a true crackerbox but for play a simple in & out box or a F-N-R box can be added................... Casale, Paragon, etc.
Her's something I found - an ad for a K.R.W. Ford Flathead marine conversion from the October 1941 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine. I don't know if the engine your boat uses K.R.W. conversion parts, but I thought you'd like to see the ad all the same! Enjoy. Mart3406 =====================
ChopPop raced a Cracker Box named "No Results" in the early 50's. Will have to scan some photos when I get home. in fact, you can see the nose of it in my avatar pic.
YEP, The new owner of the Cracker Attacker is none other than, SELLERS EQUIPPED!!!!! Im so stoked it went to you.
Steve, Does this mean your gonna start making cool stuff for boats? (cast marine headers come to mind ) Brian.
just got through watching the movie that elvis did in 1967 clambake lots of cracker box boats in it...jeffrey
What is needed in adaptors or machine work when the power is taken off the front of the motor? What is done to or at the crank snout? Splining? Multiple woodruff keys? Other?
Cracker from Bellflower with nail-head. Was direct drive and originally had water cooled exhaust. The ex.manifolds cracked so a trip to Gene's Muffler, for a set of zoomies fixed that.
Here are a couple of pictures of one I lettered several years ago. The owner's father built it from plans in 1955 and he learned to water ski behind it in the late 50's and early 1960's somewhere in upstate New York. It originally had a flathead in it but when he got the boat to restore the flathead was junk. It has since been replaced with a Capri 2.8l V-6. He says two people can fit in the cockpit(maybe if they were 10 years old).
Awesome to see the real deal.... I have a 1/8 nitro RC boat, the hull is a crackerbox type. It goes like stink too !! thanks for sharing !
Ok kidcampbell71. This pict was taken in the mid '60's at Big Bend Resort on the Parker Strip. Thats my uncle on the "Orange Crate". The cracker in the background is another uncles. It was called the "Lolipop" complete with Corvette 327".
This nail head has the marine gear to drop into a future cracker project. Rough condition but who cares, right? Its only money. Would be cool with a stack injector and some white zoomies? Maybe pulling it with a big window '56.
