Yep and one of if not the nicest built in my opinion!! I would be very interested in seeing how the boat ran with the Imco SCX drives running a number six prop!!

Throttle-Up CNC props. Look at the gains Joe had with his 39.

There it is!

I had seen this boat back before they completed it, then lost track of where it went. It came out fantastic for my tastes. I bet it runs like a SOB too, with those Chief mills in there.

Thanks for posting it Paul!

I bought a boat from a guy in California.
It was Phil's 2000 F-2 t/s that he raced.
I called Phil & brought it to LipShip for some work.
I didn't buy it from Phil.
He treated me like I had been one of his best customers.
In my opinion he is one of the best in the marine industry.
