Default Top Gun - 1987

A friend of mine bought this
boat last week. What do you folks think about the rigging?

He paid around 48k for the complete boat. A good deal?

They gave him a guarantee that the motors and the drivers would be running when he picked up the boat, we were in a hurry when we looked at the boat, not a frenzy hurry but we flew to Denmark from Finland and needed to get on the plane back to Finland the same day.

I exptected the boat beeing in a much worse condition that it was. Everything seemed to be in a good condition, all the hydraulics/electric worked. And the gelcoat/stringers etc was also in a good condition, I got hundred of pics on the boat in all sorts of views. The boat came to St.Tropez new, and was there to 06. 350hours since new I thougt was a utophia when I saw the ad, but after I saw it IRL i belive it.

We will rebuild the cylinderheads this year and for the season 08 we will look at the bottoms of the motors.

If the motors are OK, do you folks think that 70-73mph is possible?

Thermostat housings are missing, so I assume it's not running.

If it's a sound hull, he has all winter to turn it into a something he'll enjoy.

Good luck. There's a lot of satisfaction in bringing a little older boat back to life.

They hade the motors "winter conserved", I dont know the english expression for it.

Thats was why we couldnt start the engines because they was full of glycol.

For now I am wondering, is it an Kevlar or Fiberglass boat?
