Dougs Top Gun, is my favorite old school Gun of all time. Just an awesome machine. It is the real deal.

are you sure it was that boat and not the 90 mph lookalike with the side by side, white sixes and psi blowers? it's usually there in front of the gallion, it too is a beautiful gun but not a real "90"

You know what? You're absolutely right. Now that you mentioned it, it was that boat. I saw your white drives and I thought it was the same boats, but it was a #6 boat. It was a few years ago and I may have been a little intoxicated

Still absolutely love your boat.

I've never been to Key West with my boat while I've had it but I know it was there when Ben owned it. I heard he had a truck following it through the keys with 55 gal drums of race fuel. Crazy lol. I've seen pictures of the side by side T/G with the 90MPH paint in Key West. Beautiful Boat. Believe it has made several trips there with the FPBC.
Thanks for the compliments on mine. It's really been a fun boat and with all the attention around the dock and on the water it's very cool.
I hate this time of year because in the next few weeks or so it will be time to winterize and put her up for the winter. Are days in Indiana now are in the mid 60's and a few nights in the 40's. Thinking about doing the Cincinnati to Louisville run for the last trip in a couple weeks. It's just over 200 miles round trip on the Ohio River. Hopefully the leaves will be turning and it will be a beautiful trip cruising the river with about 30 other boats making the trip.

that boat is just down right beautiful! the attention to detail is what i love. it's nice to see these older special pieces be restored and brought back to their glory. i would much rather walk around the poker run village in key west looking at these boats than the new ones any day of the week. i love looking for the details that people put into their boats, it shows the true passion and love for them. i know the work and money that goes into them, i've been there and done that lol.

[QUOTE=Doug;4173454]I happen to know of one and it could be for sale. I don't get to use her as much as I want to. Been up on Lake Michigan twice this year and thinking about PIB and Lake Cumberland P/R to finish out the year. I have picked up another interest and hate to but might let her go. She is in inside storage all covered up and ready to go. If your really serious let me know.

looks like the ''NEXT'' boat ,,he had white drives staggered #6's i thought..I know it was staggered just not sure about the drives.. old owner owned a steel company and had a freek accident and dies in his vehicle,,then i never saw the boat again..rumors was 1500 hp a side and the boat went 119 mph..

Doug

Yes that was Ben's boat ( NEXT ) but it had #5's with box's back then and now. Tres had it going 113mph with 1150hp at Lake X. I think all the guys are talking 113 with 1150HP-1200HP and no one I've talked to has gone past that. Not bad to a flat bottom Cig.
