Hi Sean,

Thank you for the info. I'm going to HB on the 29th. I'm going to Vegas on the thursday till the monday, back on tues then to miami on the friday.

I'm going to look around. If you are free we should catch up for a drink. I have been to SC performance, its around the corner from us (producer lane).

I'm going to see if I can extend my trip a little.

This boat is fantastic, but not sure still what i want. Again I appreciate the info

oh I forgot, mate, I havent forgotten to post all that stuff on classic offshore, but have been flat out at work, been on the gold coast, off to Dubai tomorrow, back in a week then off to USA. When I return I will scan it and put it on classic offshore

Brent

Brent, sounds good to me! My father flys back to NY on the 29th, so I should be around. I spend about half the week in my LA office and the other half in my Irvine office so it's not a hassle to be around. PM me or email and I'll give you my contact info. I'm always up for a cold beverage!

Later,

Sean

How much do think it would cost to finish it? Is there a massive amount of work to be done? Please fill me in as much as possible. Are the stringers, transom etc ok?

Finally, how much do you think the boat as is will go for? What price were the engines/legs you were going to put in it?
sorry it took so long to get back with you, ive been tied up making funeral arrangements etc.
the boat is in awsome condition zero rot any where, its a vinyl ester resin boat made with kevlar 49. it was stored indoors most of its life, i just stripped and refinished the engine compartment,the drives and tabs. the bottom is original pristine gelcoat, i stripped off the old paint job and blocked the sides of the boat twice to get it really straight. the hull sides and deck are in 3 coats of awlgrip epoxy primer ready for final sanding. i got a quote of 3500.00 to final sand and refinish the hull sides and deck. i have the awgrip paint to refinish the rest of the boat. it comes with just re upolstered bolsters and pads, a pair of 11plate bw72c trans, exhaust, a new 700 dollar offshore water pickup. and all fuel hoses and fitins to redo fuel system. just needs new power and its on!

Rat,

Are those the motors that Mark from Myrtle Beach built? If so, I've seen some of the stuff he's worked on and nothing but the best!!

You're taking a huge hit @ 50K!!

Thoughts & Prayers to you and your family. You've had a rough couple years. Hang in there man!!

yes those are the motors, i didnt cut any corners with nothing but the best parts. i have about 80k in the pair. they have dyno time only. im moving to costa rica and you cant get good gas and there are zero go fast boats down there, i'll probably buy a little cc boat with an eggbeater so i can do some fishing and partying
