It looks a lot more "surfy" than I remember. That sharp and low edge in the stern looks like it would be a handful on the river. That un-pigmented fiberglass is definitely consistent with the Arc's I ever saw though and surfing waves was a big reason to have a squirt boat at the time.
Someone see if they can get Jimmi to pop in and confirm.
This brings back memories for me for sure. Back when the real squirt boaters in the Southeast would hang out at Cats Pajamas and Double Trouble / Jump rock on the Ocoee in their Pro Jets I was just finishing High School and had an Arc. I longed for the lower volume of the real squirt boats and cut out a section of the deck and made this god awful fiberglass mess of it by draping resin saturated cloth over the area to get a dished out section. This was complimented by my toe bumps that consisted of dixie cups underneath that I put there to kind of mold around. It looked just like you would expect, pretty stupid and non functional. Ha Ha. Memories. Must have been around 1990 or so.
Edit: Johng, doing some quick math using the cinder blocks as scale looks about 9.3 ft. (so perhaps 11.3 originally) Does that sound about right? Put a tape measure on it just for science.Statistics: Posted by Eric Z — Thu Sep 17, 2015 9:23 pm
