You should choose your own graphics. That's half the fun!!

Teak decks and twin engines not likely a FireFox which is only a little over 7 feet wide.

Cool project. I was stunned to think it was going to eat 100K in the process for 24 feet of boat but after thinking about the Shelby Donzi's last year that were 80K, 100K doesn't sound terrible.

The Cigarette Firefox was introduced in 1986. Previous to this model, Cigarette built the 24 in various forms with various decks.

As far as a narrow beam boat with twin engines go, I looked at one of Aronow's Banana Boats (Satan's Chariot) that had twin small block Fords stuffed into a 6-1/2' beam boat.

We are basically starting over. Every hole, nook and cranny will be filled back in and re-cut. Were trashing the TRS and Transmission and going with a Bravo/ITS setup. Also building a pretty big motor. Phil will be making loads of one off custom parts for this thing so with all these bits and pieces it will add up quick. I look at it like a frame off restoration on a classic car.
