TOPIC: 1958 Barnes Shark Ad Flyer

This is a rare one to find, only an advertising flyer but great information on this equally rare boat:

cool looking boat, thanks for posting. frog

HandyAndy,

NEAT BOAT. - I wonder if there are any left?? OR if any were actually ever built??
(I have a list of numerous "boat manufacturers" from TX, who built ONE boat & some who built NONE. = One "fiberglass boat builder" from my home county printed brochures but "went broke" before the brochures were delivered.)

yours, satx

Bill Anderson has a 1958 Barnes Shark in the original red and white color scheme. It is on a yellow Tee Nee and is featured with his 1956 Larson Falls Flyer on the March 2015 page of the calendar that he was so kind to send me.

Regards, Gene

P.S. Hey Andy, I picked up a 1956 Chrysler Marine Engines (Mopar parts list) that I will send to you if you would like for the library here. Flea market find. It features the Hemi and has exploded views of the engines, gear housings, pumps, starters, ect.
I'm a bit of a Mopar nut, My dad, both my brothers and I drag raced with Mopars in the 60's and 70's.

I do have the red/white one but when I ground it to cloth it had no holes for windshield,, I have talked to the family who built them,, they say they could be either way.I know of 4 of them, Shannon steele has one and I have 3, but just the one done, I ran it last week at the Minnesota international show,I had the 60 Hiawatha on it[made by Scxott], I did not see this add for sale,, I am supposed to be having one sent,,it might have brought more if I had seen it,,Bill

That's a great looking boat!
