Ah! Yes. That thing looks amazing. Did a back flip and sank? Ouch.

I flew out to Oklahoma to look at it with another member of oso years ago (after accident). boat at first look was in good shape for the accident.
At closer look it had major damage, delam, the #6s damaged.......Boat now looks awesome but remember it did sink and has been for sale for ever. |
Wow, that is the boat that did flips & Rolls? I've seen this thing for sale for a loooooong time!
|
They put a lot of money in it thats for sure. I didnt know that was the one that flipped. It had big power in it at one time when it first hit the market. Cant remember, but did Gaudado redo that one?
|
I remember it having 880HP I may be wrong but I beleve it was 100mph boat.
|
So the question I have, even though it rolled and sunk, with the severe damage done, if it was fixed correctly and that is a big if, why hasnt it sold? There has been a number of race boats wrecked, rolled and fixed and sold as pleasure boats with little questions. Not arguing just questioning. this looks like a nice boat, I have never seen it up close but would think it could be surveyed by someone reputable to see if it was sound.

My only problem with sunk boats is there are 4 year old boats that have rotten stringers and transoms that have never been sunk.
Submerge one stern down nose up , which is the usual position they take , and the stern is nearly 30 feet underwater at almost 2 atmospheres of pressure. If there are any voids in the transom or stringer layup than water is going to find its way in , or much simpler through the exhaust and transom assembly cut outs . Good luck getting the voids to dry out. |

I believe she and Paul Phaff 1000's in her when Freddie bought her , it's been for sale for a very long time. Like 14 Apache said maybe with a top name guy and detailed photos of the redo then maybe a boat to go after. There probably only 3 people I'd let redo it and fun it with my family. Mc Manus, Saber, and Eddie G with Bobby S as my eyes.
