Banana 1976
|
Correct me if I am wrong but that boat was built in New Bedford MA brt i believe the molds were then sold to what was left of signature boats in the early 90's. The last i saw of the molds they were cut in half by someone who was not happy with the owner Mike B. I think it has a 7'6 beam little smaller than the banana's. Charlie may have even more history on these boats since they were from the New England.
I think brt stood for Bluewater Race Team

1969 Cary "The Cigarette", 2008 24 Banana Boat
|
On the banana web site there is page ..."Should you buy a banana?. On that page is a link called ...History of the 24.
www.bananaboatco.com
Follow that link and you can find out about the source of this 24 foot 7 foot wide boat and the many, many other derivatives of the same design.
I remember this company in Mass, they were around for awhile, but never did anythng nationaly, like racing or boat shows etc.

I always ran outboards on my Banana's so I wouldn't have the answer, but as far as I know, there has never been a 24' Banana with an extension box.
I think it would be great if you had the 380k planes.

Set the X dim at 17-1/2" so that the prop shaft is 4-1/2" to 5" below the V of the bottom. If you install an extension box raise it 1".
Good Luck with your project! 
How about a thread with some pics?
