Here's a picture of the boat when I picked it up two weeks ago.

It's from this area, but the motor had a bad cylinder and hasn't been out in a year or more. So I was told by the old owner. It is in good shape overall shape and will look awesome after waxing it and a good overall cleaning. I'm adding hyd steering and a 600hp 509 so I'm very excited. It should be a big step up from my 90 235 Baja.


I've seen your sunsation out many times. Not hard to miss as its a great looking boat and awesome paint! I have talked with a couple friends about your boat trying to understand what looks like steps on the front half of the hull. The only thing I've come up with is to add air to the boat when cutting big waves?


Unfortunately, I've been told my boat sticks out in a crowd as well except not for the same reason as yours. Mine has the buc wrap on it. Lol

When doing the paper work it seems as though the boat came from florida before chris bought it. Im not sure of kurt unless he lives in florida.
