AT 37 w/trips ??
 

I know he built at least 1 straight bottom with trips, i think it had 502 efi's and a gen, any idea where it cruised ( mph ) at 3000 rpm, 3500 rpm and top end?

thanks

any body??

I don't know how it ran or if there was just one of them but the one pic I saw had prochargers on it.

Pat said it ran over 100 and that it was very, very thirsty.

Pro charged 502's i believe and 100+ if i remember correctly. Any word on what ended up with it ? It was for sale in KW this past fall but needed allot of attention.

Just got back from Key West. Sadly, I was down there for my fathers funeral. Funny thing thou, the boat is sitting just a couple miles outside Key West at a small marina on the corner from where we laid my dad to rest. Just from seeing it from the road, the drives where in bad shap (skegs chewed up). The boat is uncovered and the interior was in ruff shape. Maybe a project boat for someone. sign on boat said $39,000.

has stock 502 efi now, gotta run 85 or better with stock doesnt it?

Maybe, but I wouldn't put $$ on it. A twin non step with 500's runs 75mph, so I doubt an additional 250hp and additional 1200lbs will gain 10 mph.

this must be it...rough looking :party-smiley-004:

Real rough looking. What a shame.

Ouch What a waste!!!

Pretty sure it sank.

Brian, your avatar is killin' me.

x2!!!

Is there anywhere in Miami I can get some of that?

Nothing hard work and some cash can't fix.
Look at the bigger picture cored hull and it is not a resin bucket.
Is it a Balsa cored boat ?
If it did sink and it was in salt water that changes everything.

Whatever core it is would not be affected by water since it is encapsulated. Rot is only an issue where holes are drilled and not sealed.

Makes the boat that much better.

Looks like a nightmare to me.

I think there is an extra zero in that price! :eekdrop:

wonder what AT would charge for guages cabin and cockpit redo

I don't want to be discouraging, but from the looks of things, gauges, cabin and cockpit are just going to be the tip of the iceburg. If the boat was, in fact, under water, you are looking at a total rewire, which will probably cost a pretty penny in labor alone. Also, you have to wonder about the condition of the motors as well, and the electrical componentry associated with them...and multiply everything by three...yikes....

for sure, just thinking one project at a time ( assuming it runs )

From what i was told the boat sat on the lift for two years in the elements. Never was under the water.

AT any bid on that interior re do??

I would budget 7-10K for interior. Not sure if that would cover an updated dash too, probably not. I just hope I'm not rebuilding engines again this year so I can take it down before Key West and have it done.

I bet that thing is a wave crusher.

Any other info on this boat as far as condition? Does anyone know if any engines run?
