Staying with the triple Teagues. We were originally going to just fire them up and get em cranking but two starters are shot and two headers leaked so we removed all the headers to be re-welded along with new starters and re-doing the whole battery setup along with a bunch of crap wire someone did while re-rigging. Also have some drive issues the drives wouldn't trim any so we had to pull all the trim pistons and are diagnosing from there.

Wave crusher is an understatement. I ran the old Florida marlins 46' with tired Hawk 1000's and 6's years back, probably 1996 or so. We had her humming at 90+ in 4-6 lake erie slop and hit 106 behind the break wall in Cleveland. i bet the motors were only making 800HP at best as oil was pouring out the breathers. Baot hasn't seen light of day since then. I wish I had the coin to pick her up if she ever came up for sale.

What's the story? Owned by the Fl Marlins? And where's it been sitting all these years and why?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Did that have a US Flag paint on it back then? Is the boat still in Ohio?
