i have to be honest with you guys,,i been boating where this boat iuse to boat for the last 25 yrs and i have not seen this boat on the water since probably the early 90's..FWIW i talked to a friend about it yesterday and he said it has not been run in 5 yrs,,it sits under a canopy with tarps over it..

I still wanna see the pics.... cash talks to people and there is gonna be some sweet parts thetre... if he sits on it too long it will eventually just get sold cheap...

I just called him on the boat he is going to email me pics on MONADY as soon as get them Ill put them up

he emailed me back today with same answer... must be day to deal with it...lol

fixx
 

he is going to get some more pics..the boat was a regelled and some of the gel is cracking but the boat is still solid,,,the motors are bowtie tall deck blocks with crower billet cranks,oliver rods dont know the pistons heads are fully ported,full roller cams and dart intake with a single dominator..hey made 850 hp and 850 ftlbs tq @ 4750 rpms..engine have 80 hr'son them and were built by carl wegner out of wi..

I need them engines....haha

If you had those you might me walking away form me. next year :eek:

Yeah me to lol. Like I said before they have to be torn down and freshened up. Even at that seems as if there's some high dollar parts in their.

Yea... them enines would make me run around 90... in damn near anything....:)

Good thing I build my own engines.... pay for machining and parts...

What year is it?

Hi All..... The boat has been sold at my firm price... What a deal for the buyer... These motors are monsters and they have the best of everything.... By the way for the fella that said there was delamination problems better go back to your records... this boat never had this problem. The boat is going to Texas. It will be for sale after he takes out the motors..

Wish I woulda got them pics I asked for... ugh

Thanks Jim,
It has been a pleasure talking to you and consumating this deal. :ernaehrung004: Bill

Wow

Did PAUL from texas boat repos get it

Delamination of an old repair, is exactly what the email I got said, also said it was one of the reasons the boat wasn't being used.

OMG bill,,you bought it,,your cig is going to fly...

fixx
 

NO! lets just say that its going to be in good hands,,bill is most likely pulling the engines,,will probably have them inspected,they are low compression engines and if i were bill i would look for a set of 1071's before i put those engines in his 38 tg kevelar hull..

Mike,
I have already lined up a friend/mechanic to pull the motors and go through them like Jim suggested (mostly the heads and springs). They are already red to match my Top Gun! Jim's Cig will provide the parts I have needed to bring the Top Gun back to life. The engines are already pushing the power capabilities of the SSM IIIs, so blowers are not likely in my plans. I owe you one on the tip. Onwards, Bill

whats going on with the remainder?

witch boat are the motors going into any PICS also any pics around of the 35 STILL SMOKING

It will be a while before I figure out everything. Bill

I can't wait to see it , gonna be a nice project.

Hi Chad,
I see you now know it is a done deal. I'm hoping to get it here in 2 or 3 weeks, but it depends on a few things. See you soon. Bill

The motors from Jim's boat will be installed in this red 1987 kevlar Top Gun. Bill

Hi There....Can you please tell me where this delamination is do to what repair? I have owned this boat for over 24 years and this is news to me....I had the boat regeled 0ver 20 years ago and a few areas lifted right by the water line do to bad preperation...Please know what you are talking about before making a statement... You are totally wrong..
The boat has been sitting because of a 5 year plus brutal divorce.. Kind Regards.....Jim

I'm not going to argue with you. I emailed the seller on Craigslist, I'm assuming you unless someone was running a scam, and the response I got for the boat not being used the last 7-8 years was delaminating and lifting of an old repair. I apologize if you meant only the gel was lifting but it was not described to me as gelcoat lifting a bit.

We pulled both engines and ran them after changing the oil and rebuilding the Holley Dominators - they fired right up! We will get them cleaned up and add some new parts before transplanting them into the Top Gun. They sound awesome and the oil pressures are great at 65PSI. Here is a run video of the first one. Bill

I tried to tell people it's not always bad engines have not ran in a while, I stills ay that boat was a great deal...

It sounds nasty! Love it..

Those are some sick looking headers

Did you check valve springs?
