90 MPH teaser thread
 

Getting ready to put her back on the market after some updating. One of the five 90 MPH models, Kevlar, staggered, No.5 boats. I will be selling the boat fully rigged, with new carbon fiber interior but without engines. Here are some before pictures.

Sweet!! Keep em coming!

These are such sweet boats! Love seeing these threads

Are you guys painting it too? Why do all the work just to sell it if you don't mind me asking?

Nice!!

now would be a perfect time to put the 6's on that are sitting in my garage!!

Tank,

I had removed the drives to use on the Skater I purchased but decided to go with No. 6s. Before putting it back together I wanted to clean it up a bit since it had been sitting so long. The boat deserves the right treatment. I would love to keep her if I could swing it, but I am having a hard time using the four other boats I have, lol.

Tim, what year, ratio on the 6s? Wet or dry?

Someone going I get a sweet ride.

Question, where's the other exhaust hole going?

Tank,

I am unsure whether I will reopen it. I will either reopen in line with the other three as it was originally or leave it closed for use of a Y pipe which is kind of cool. I've seen several boats with only two or three exhaust holes where they use either 1 or 2 Y pipe configuration for the exhaust. Makes the boat a little more unique.

If you look at post No.1 you will note that the second exhaust hole was not in line with the others. This was due to the fault of a crappy, POS rigger who will remain nameless. When I had the engines pulled and rebuilt the first time, he installed the engines and didn't install the bolts of the rear inner mount of the starboard engine. At that time I decided to change from Stellings to Stainless Marine Gen III and had new pipes fabricated. After the pipes were completed I noticed movement on the engine and discovered that the engine was loose and dropped in the rear. I got in the bilge and installed the bolts (a real pain in the ARSE to reach those bolts). When they went to install the pipes, obviously the one pipe wouldn't fit. Rather than pay another $1,200 for another pipe, I decided to open up the hole. At the time the boat had a swim platform and you really couldn't notice the difference. Once I decided to update the boat, I just couldn't leave the hole as it was, so I had it closed when I painted the transom. I was going to reopen the hole at the proper level and just before I turned on the hole saw, I thought about how cool it looked with three holes so I put the hole saw down and left it as is for now.

I love fighting with those to get em to line up and slide in.

The spring makes those not to bad, the Sixes are a pain

I like the Y pipe. Always have.
