Congrats, I thought that boat would make a nice project. Glad someone here got it!

-Loved my '89 'Gun. The ride was incredible. -Those 420's really wake up with some 671's!!!

Good luck,

Kurt

Thank yall for the encouragement. i'm going to start a thread in the rebuild section when i get started on it. Be prepared for some questions and need for instruction as a lot of you have been here many times. For now im just want her on the water so im going with slightly over stock rebuild, maybe 500 hp or so. When im happy with the rest of the boat i'll start adding HP. Happy to be part of the family .

Congrats on the Gun and welcome to the CIGARETTE club!

BTW....420's?? Thats an old heavy boat! I bet it's on the slower side 55-60's? I'd put some BIG BLOWER MOTORS in!!!!
Really???

And I'm dreaming about the day I get to see her on the water!
Congrats and welcome to the Cigarette family. Take your time and do it right!!

How fast would those stock 420's push WetBowtie's gun?

My guess is 60-62. The '89 has no notch in the transom and the x dimension for the TRS is conservatively low
