Johnny...save your money. That boat should be real fast w/o the boxes and your power. Looks cleaner w/o the boxes anyway. Look at the old Mr. K/Frank's Marine Powerplay from around 1995. That boat is bad azz...ran 468/550 hp Frank's Marine engines and ran very well. NO BOXES! Anyone got a transom pics of Mr. K/Frank's Marine Powerplay? Please post.

I think your right. This boat ran fine without them originally as well. So did the Looney Toons boat I think. Im guessing low 90s with our power? That would be ideal

Exactly...keep it like it was, no boxes w/fuel injection stacks, BAD AZZZZZZ! What color on hull? As much as I'm not a yellow fan...original yellow hull, white deck, and orange 2 or 3man bolster w/ orange-yellow guages, bezels, accents...too cool. OLD SCHOOL RULES!

Hull and sides are staying yellow, going to spray the deck Imron white. Bolster is yellow/white with ruffles. Dashes and all hardware are anaodized gold just like she was back in the day. Those motors run too

I always loved the lines of those bad boys. Nice to see an old girl found a good home!

Good for you guys! That boat is going to look good orig. I have only seen 2 others like it. By that I mean Cobra 32s w/ the "Powerplay" deck as they call it, but really the new Performer/Cobra deck. Yours, Miss Y-100 (white, black, red) Staggered, and Rolling Thunder (blue) side by side. After that...all Dan and the Powerplays. Great boat, can't wait to see done! NK LOTO.

If this boat had the original deck on it we wouldnt have bought it. This is the best looking 32 foot boat out there to me. Too Stroked thanks! Talked to Larry lately? He always wanted you and me to line up with the Challenger

Yes, I talk to Larry pretty regularly. (Ronie still likes my boat better than his new Progression.) I would have loved to duke it out with you in the Challenger, but I hear you got scared and sold it. Probably would have been a good race!

After talking yesterday to Mr Sheer Terror, Bob said this boat rocked with smallblocks back in the day at Harbor 1. With todays power look out.
