Charlie Jr.,
How are you? Got a question regarding the new "Classic 24":
Do you intend to build the twin outboard version w/ the drain well at a customer's request? If so, I have a suggestion I'd like to pass on to you.
Yes, intersting rig on eBay. Looks pretty clean on the whole.

I know that boat. That is Art Bors old boat. He gave me the number to the current owner so I could invite him to our get together. He never returned my call though.
Art bought it from the original owner that painted it that wild color. He put it up for sale for 16,900 two years ago and sold it to the current owner for $13,000.
Very well maintained vessel. The only dissapointing thing is Art painted all the beautiful teak with Black paint.
It is a great boat, who ever buys it.
As far as heat buzz, he is AWOL...
I went over to his house yesterday and there were 7 snowmobiles where his boat used to be parked...
I think he spent all his boat money.
I think after his Banana sale fell through, he decided to take a year off from boating and take his time to find the right Banana.

Re: Bad news within the Banana Bunch
Hi Chris,
That's too bad about the boating thing. I sold an '80 Polaris 440TX free air about 4 years ago. Had fun, but realized the cold weather stuff ain't for me. Plus not enough snow when ya need it!
Did you notice the back seat arrangemnt of the "ebay" boat?
Seems it doesn't have the sun pad/hatch as the back seat is further back. A modification?

Back Seat
Yes, eliminating the hatch gives much needed cockpit room.
Back in 2001 I began talking to the owner of that purple Banana to see how it was done since his came from the factory that way. I even drove to RI to see one in person so I could cut out my hatch.
2005 and I still havent done it?
Lazy or busy, not quite sure which one...

To answer your question - NO - there will not be anymore outboard wells - only brackets - Stainless Marine. Also the back seat will be pushed back 12 inches similar to the blue boat pictured here but will also retain the sun pad on the back as well as the sloped rear deck.
Chris - I am sorry to hear that your bro (Heatbuzz) is now on SMO (Snowmobiles Only) instead of OSO!!! Maybe we'll get him back on when summer comes...

"No, he disrespected our family, now we gotta off him..."
Ya, I am planning on taking him for a ride early on to get the Boating sickness back in his blood.
Glad you went with Stainless Marine.
Charlie, the black and purple boat on e-bay has a bigger cockpit than your boat. Which way are you making the new Banana's?
