heatbuzz,
To answer your questions. No just solid white. And yes it does still have the twin blown small blocks.

But I think most of the racing controls were tossed a long time ago. i.e., throttles,wheel that sort of stuff.

Yes I took it out last weekend. I just got the pics of Hells Banana off my camera also so here they are. Sorry the are not the best. And I would have got more had I known for sure that it was Hells banana. Oh well I'm sure it will be there next year. So I'll get more then.

Sorry its fuzzy but you get the idea. Will get better ones next year. Or if I go back up for any reason soon I'll try and get some better ones, as I noticed that the engine cover was off when I was up this weekend .

Default Hells Banana?

That thing is sick...

I wonder how fast it goes?

I wonder if it slams into waves with all that weight of the two motors?

I wonder if I could do that to may Banana?

I wonder...

That was the most impressive boat I've ever owned. It behaved like a much larger boat. What really impressed me was how it would fly level when airborne. That boat was built like a tank and could take some really big water for a 24' offshore rig!

Thanks for the pics. Glad to see Andrew is still having fun with it. Other than the scoops, It looks just like when we sold it.

Question Biggus

How fast did that thing go? 90? 95?

What kind of props did you run? Cleaver? 26 pitch?

Why did you ever sell it?

Chris

Cool Re: How Many Banana's were made?

Oh yea, But I did the decorating and I christen her the S.S. HENPECKED. The Bride didn't like that too much, and it took Chris a while and a lot of elbow grease to get it off, before he cruised off to the Vineyard for the Honeymoon from HELL. You name it and it went wrong. From loosing an oil line on the way over, to poring rain to our old man almost dying, causing them to cut the honeymoon short and run back to the Hyannis hospital emergency room. Oh well one to tell the kids about.
