Also JetJock I saw in another thread your boat has 500efi's...Did you do that yourself...? I assume you still run TRS with standard props? you obviously think it is worth considering an engine swap for more grunt despite sacrificing originality??

JetJock

I bought my boat with the 500EFIs.....I also have bravo I's with 28 props. I like the ease and reliability of the EFIs, didn't affect the look of the boat...so no problems.

Plan on doing some work on her this winter.....still love the boat after 5 years!

Does that boat have a notched transom?

Looks similar to the one that was used as a display/sign at Marine Max in Miami.

That boat was abandoned in Miami it is the Season 5 boat in Miami Vice and owned by a German Auto company for many years. Someone needs to buy this one the restore it....it is a piece of history!

ok ...I was on this boat yesterday, she is rough ,but solid, needs stripped and total restoration.. is 90% complete, needs time and $$$$$$
I did not see any evidence that she sunk?

JetJock

The "Sunk" part is rumor....from what Wayne and I have been told (Wayne looked at it a few months back) Tow Boat US towed it to the Marina and it was stored outside on a rack for at least the last 5 years.....owner abandoned it.

It would need some serious work....I hope someone takes the challenge (at least someone we all know and can keep it in the family so to speak)

If anyone can add to the mystery feel free to do so......
