The story I heard was the girlfriend(or wifes) family financed it, and got stuck with the payment(and a boat they would never use) when he left. Heard it had a blown tranny or maybe just a line, and got left outside to get wet, then he split(or got kicked out) and she got stuck with it(and the payment). The guy I am talking about is the one who also stole the charity money from FMO. A few guys from FMO know the boat better than I do in its current state, I knew it years ago before, and just after the redo.
Dr Santiago is the one that had the conversion originally done by McManus, and raced the boat for awhile. He tried the Pulse drives, but they didn't work well, so he switched back & sold the boat.

Just to clairify for myself, and anyone reading that might get confused, you're talking about the guy that bought it AFTER Dr Santiago owned it.... right?

Sorry if that was confusing. I knew it when the Doc had it. The Jerk I was referring to is NOT Dr Santiago!!! I cant rememberhis name, and actually never met the guy, but some friends of mine knew him, or at least thought they did until he stole the $$, I will try to find the threads and post them to alleviate any confusion.

Doc raced the Cig early on. Then he got into the Bat Boats. The pulse drives was when it was used for pleasure. Don't think they were very user friendly.

The Doc was a standup guy, just sold a nice boat to a jerk who made some mistakes, and the boat suffered, could still be a good deal for the right price, just needs some lovin and some $$$
