Seems like these two boats could merge into one great boat for 100K!

Great looking hull, a close friend was in it when it had the 1300's in it and it was incredibly fast but needed some tweaks to really dial it in... For me the big items aren't the real issue with it, you get into the "might as wells" like updating the paint, gauges and interior to current colors and better fabrics. Also it seems to me that even thought the boat has changed hands a few times, all the pics are the same ones, not saying it still doesn't look like that but would need to see how it currently is. then with the "might as wells" like paint and interior, the budget could quickly shoot sky high. Still a great looking boat that deserves to be redone.

Yes it is set up for 6's. I don't think OL built many boats with Bravos!. Also what ever happened to frank, the original owner of this boat?

These big OL's are like big Apaches.....they need plenty of HP to make them fast and plenty of money to keep them looking good! I always thought this was one of the best looking sit downs ever made and can remember big poker runs having 3-4-5 of them running together. The 51's with the duck tail bustle then became my favorite but these 47's are still legendary!

Believe me I have thought about it. My son and I have spent hours of back and forth e-mails about this. I am probably one of the best candidates as I have a complete donor boat. With the exception of the exhaust I would need nothing. With that said you know it's still going to nickel and dime you to death. Perfect example is the recently mentioned windshield. This would still be in excess of $100K investment for me. Which of course I don't have. Not to mention the Sutphen would now be worthless They are not a hot seller running never mind stripped.
