'92 Top Gun full total resto.
I thought I'd share these pics of an older Top Gun that was recently restored from Nav light to the prop nuts by Dorr's Marine in Windham Maine.
It was a three year project that began with a 1992' Gun. Tim Dorr purchased it from Gran-Sport in Chi Town fall 2004. The boat had been sitting since 1999 and from the looks of the hull, this boat had spent very little time on the water.
The hull was stripped bare and totally re-rigged with top shelf everything.
Tim wanted to make it look like it did brand new back in 1992, the bare hull was sent to New England Fiberglass in Portland, Maine. The entire hull was wet sanded, all graphics repainted, buffed etc. A new factory blower hatch was installed and all hardware powdercoated.
The entire cockpit was redone with newer style bolsters from Lip-Ship. The entire cabin gutted and redone with new headliner, lighting, etc.
DME built the motors from scratch with all NEW components,
572" GM Bow Tie blocks,
Callies cranks, Oliver rods,
Dart Pro-1 aluminum heads Crower rockers with stud girdles.
CP pistons,
Ultra Dyne custom ground hyd roller cams
Morel lifters,
Blower Shop Billet 8:71 blowers,
Holley 850 blower prepped carbs,
CMI elbow top fully polished stainless headers with dry to tip tailpipes,
Gibson mufflers,
The BW 72C's were sent to Huber for nitraded shafts and upgraded to HM1200 specs. Hardin Marine 1000 hp drive plates installed.
The boat was then fitted with all new IMCO full hydraulic steering, Konrad 540HP drives. All new livorsi guages and topped off with a 1200 watt stereo system.
..anyway, I had a little time so I thought I'd share.
