Good question!
I hope someone knows. |

Anybody? Someone on here surely knows. Is it still in Nebraska? Who owns it? Still being used or could it still be used or possibly purchased? |
|
Re: Showboat Sled

Maybe
|
My best guess would be sitting in weeds or sold for scrap. Still in Hazard Nebraska last I knew but that has been 5 plus years. |

Try This

If you want a more accurate answer try contacting one of the pullers in that area like Rick Bradley in Ravenna or Melvin Nelson in Dannebrog. I’m sure those guys would know. |

I was told that Bradley's from Ravenna bought it. |

It's in Ravenna at Bradley's shop getting put back in operating condition because it sat in Hazard at Bill Vockes the old owner of the sled in a shed for a number of years and never moved. Think they want to get it running to do farm pulls and use as a dirt track dyno for themselves and area pullers. |

I know the original builder, and should ask him,, but,, is the Showboat weight box driven by chain.
And the River Belle the wire rope driven weight box?? |

That is correct. Ray's River Belle sled is probably the only one I've ever seen using cable box drive.

Good deal. Always good to have a different option of sled. Hope they get it going and enjoy running it. |

River Belle is in Williams Grove PA with the Steam Show grounds. The Enforcer mini sled is still in Chambersburg PA owned by Franklin County Tractor Pullers. The two sleds are less than 50 miles apart. |

I called Bill and ask about the does and Kenworth. He sold both to a guy in Ravenna. I was interested in buying both of them. |
