A friend of mine has a white and blue Firefox down here on Lake Conroe. Don't have any pics, sorry. He is restoring it right now.

Here are some pics of mine (continuing from the Cig Pic thread).

She's a 1972. Last year I was going to rebuild the inline sixes (which are now for sale btw) but when the transom rebuild was discovered to be poorly done, I went ahead and reconfigured to a single 496. New transom, new stringers to fit the single, HD transom assembly, bravo 1x, etc. Orlandi Performance, just south of Detroit, did the work. Brian's a real perfectionist. More projects to go over the next couple of years, but she's running beautifully. The rest will be mostly cosmetic.

Apologies in advance for the size of the first few pics, but I'm feling lazy.

Very cool. I was wondering what was up with the waterline exhausts a la twin I-6's... now I see! Neat project, all the teak looks like it's in great shape. That's a rare piece you have.

Default 24 Outboard

Hey guys - I saw this one about a month or so ago in Wisconsin. I did not get to talk to the owner. I think I've seen it for sale in the past - not sure what year it is.

That's the "boat trader" boat. Wish I had been more specific in these

So are we up to 13? Adding the red one above and Lap Dancer?

Default more....

Sorry, didn't mean to double count.....couldn't remember where I saw it before. Needless to say I was quite surprised when I saw it float in.

Forgot to add there are 3 other 24's on the same lake. I think an '80 red, '81 red, and ?? white side/deck with hockey stripe and red bottom. So 16 now?

There's an early teak deck twin six (blue with red boot stripe, white bottom) a little north of Chicago. Not sure if it's any of the others mentioned earlier. It looks like the one in Naples FL, but a few details make me *think* it isn't the same one.

NorthernOffshore, the grey one you mentioned, is that a grey-blue? I remember seeing one that I think was almost monochromatic--I think the deck and hullsides (and *maybe* the bottom were all one color of grey-blue.) It looked to have been recently redone and in excellent shape. Just can't remember where I saw it...
