Redoing a older 1 of a kind Offshore boat
This is a 1 of kind (from what I have been told by the owner) we have been rebuilding over the winter. The boat is a 1992 Conquest 32 Enforcer built by Bruce Nescher after the sale of Sleek Craft. The boat was built from his 36 mold and shortened to 32 feet it took 2 years to build.
The owner brought us the boat in the fall after we rebuilt the 516 cu engines we were going to install them when I noticed something oozing out of a fitting in the transom. This was the start of here we go.... transom and rear half of the stringers were rotten. The boat originally had a 4 stringer system with the standard style Merc lag in mounts so since we were replacing everything we went to 3 stringers with 2 mini stringers between them to utilize motor plates. We also moved the engines up 2 inches and in 1 inch.
Here is are before pic's with some as we went along but I did not get any while we had it down to bare glass.

Beutiful looking boat, probably pretty heavy, but still a cool old piece.

With the 516's @ 625 HP and 600 TQ the boat ran 86 MPH with Land&Sea stern jacks and Bravo drives. The new engines are custom 572's making 755 HP and 720 TQ in front of some nice new IMCO equipment.

That was the last time the boat was in the water. Pulling into the last stop it stalled and found # 7 exhaust valves on both engines had been damaged from detonation. Culprit was bad fuel on a 10.4 to 1 engines. Boat should be low 90's this year.
The 516's are fresh with dyno time only and would run nice in your Formula.... make you a good deal.
