New Cig Owner
Well I purchased it last Nov and had some things done to it over the winter but it finally made it up to Chicago late Saturday night and was launched on Sunday and is on a can in Monroe Harbor. Its a 1990 Top Gun with 454/420 rebuilds with less than 15hrs...and yes unfortunately has TRS drives but they have been rebuilt too.
Still needs some work in the cockpit/dash (new gauges) but I can do that over time. I'm just looking forward to running with anyone on lake Michigan and enjoying the summer. I also will be looking for some help along the way because I am by no means a gear head and unfortunately the boat came with no manuals to tell what the hell everything is but I'm a quick learner and hopefully you guys can help me out when needed.
Look forward to meeting some of you guys in the near future. And no I was not hauling it with my Escalade as it might look in the pic

Man! That thing looks nice! I've been on the hunt since last November for a straight bottom 90s top gun and never saw this one for sale... looks great! Nice trailer! I'll be heading out next week to look at one in Michigan... I'll post it if it pans out. 
You must've enjoyed updating your profile to say : 90 Top Gun!

Re: New Cig Owner
Thanks for all the great comments....trust me it looks nothing like it did when I bought it. Would love to add some blowers but this falls into that category of non-gear head and the stories I've heard about TRS drives and more Horsepower.
As for my definition of "BOAT" which is "Bring Out Another Thousand"...I think the next update is to redo the gauges.
Good luck in Michigan on your search. I had it out on Sunday in the cool weather but it didn't matter and it was blast out in the 3-4 foot waves.
