This removable trailer tongue really helps, if, like me, you have limited garage space!

What?
Why have none of you boat-freaks purchased this yet?
I am not a boat-guy, but interested because it seems that whenever Eddie sells something, the purchasers always take away a story, maybe some memorabilia, and maybe even a spin in a hot car... just remember to TAKE PICS and post 'em back here on CF!!!!

I would be happy to include, at no extra cost, of course, with the boat sale:
1/64 scale Eddie Hill racing team transporter- die cast cab, opening rear door,1997 limited edition
1/24 scale die cast Eddie Hill Top Fuel Dragster, 1997 Premier limited edition
Limited Edition Eddie and Ercie Hill Knife- crafted by Buck Knives- one of only 1500 in existence- carries a gold-plated inlay in the shape of the Hill Top Fuel Dragster, a replica of Eddie and Ercie's signature, and a diamond wood handle
Two foot by Three foot Career Highlight poster with a large picture of Eddie and Ercie in the center, surrounded by Eddie's racing motorcycle, gas dragsters, fuel dragsters and boats, and a listing of major highlights from 1956 through 2002
Ercie and I will be happy to autograph and personalize them to you, if you like.
This was my last Top Fuel Boat ride- at Phoenix-
Thanks for looking!
Eddie

We interrupt this thread for a short commercial-
I have this boat for sale-
As you can probably tell from this shot, this hull design gives a LOT better ride when the water gets a little rough, than a flat, runner, or semi-vee! And then at speed, the running surface is really small, for low drag and good speed/per/Horsepower. And it corners really good!
I don't know how you would beat this combination of performance, handling, ride, and dependability, in a four-place boat!

Whoever buys my SleekCraft is welcome to a ride in my Ford, if you want to- (the nice couple that bought my last Vette, each took a ride in the Ford and seemed to enjoy it-)

I'd be willing to talk trade for a Vette, motorcycle, nice car trailer, or even a small airplane, should you have something like that for sale, and have an interest in my boat--
Doesn't hurt to talk-

Eddie Hill always seems to show up with something interesting....
Most people know who ran the first sub 5.00 1/4 mile run. But there is always more...
Eddie trivia:
In Hobbs, New Mexico, in 1962, Eddie Hill registered a 202.70-mph run. But nobody really and truly accepted that a dragster had run 200 mph in a quarter-mile until it was done in front of the NHRA clocks. That happened on August 1, 1964, when Don Garlits officially ran 201.34 mph at a points meet at Island Dragway in Great Meadows, New Jersey.

I'm in love with your Ford.
I've been in one of those, the day we got the Vette we went to a new restaurant and parked next to a red one, and got a ride in it. Sounded great, and rides pretty well.
