My buddy bought it off me...I will keep you guys posted on anymore progress once the snow thaws. We have no good place to work on boats up here, so we go sledding in the winter instead! lol
I was looking for some motors back in the summer and found a complete turnkey boat for LESS than the price of a good set of motors! It was too nice to tear apart the new boat and I couldnt afford both, so the Active had to go.
But after I sold it to him, he had the engine bulkhead fiberglassed back up. It was totally rotten! Next would be floor work, also totally rotten.
He has drives now, just stock Bravos and is not sure about power yet. He's wanting some 500-600HP motors.

I thought it did, Im no structural expert, that's what surveyors are for and Im guilty of never having it checked out either. One of the reasons I never had it checked is that all the AT guys told me that the boat was all foam cored with no wood in it, and AT dont rot. it is what it is, a sunk boat.

My buddy is waiting on his current boat to sell to fund this project, so not much has been done. The parts I cut out on the inside in the bulkheads have been replaced/re-fiberglassed. Still needs floor and obviously full re-rig.
