JT, the sad thing is the boat was intact (except modified to staggered twins and white paint job) with all the rigging, race cockpit, dash, saddle tanks, tabs, etc. etc. until about 1999. That's when the "Geni-ass" owner decided to hack it apart and turn it into a pleasure boat. Had the cockpit been left alone and just recovered, brought up to date with some new gages, etc., the only thing left to do was sand the white paint off and drop in a couple of Big Sterlings or Chiefs and the boat would run and be worth some $$$$.

That is a shame. That was one of my favorite 47's and hopefully it will become a rtr someday.

The boat was converted to twins/# 6's and raced as the "Flyer", bulkheads have been removed in the bow, the race cockpit has been removed and the conversion to a pleasure boat cockpit with a 1/2 cabin was started but never finished. If you sand away the white paint, the original "pink" Little Ceaser's paint job lies underneath. I worked with the owner when he had a Fountain dealership in Lighthouse Point but haven't spoken to him in 3 years......It's a shame that someone hasn't brought this piece of Kramer history back to it's glory....
