Well, its been a long time since the Café build. After the café I picked up this 1992 Carbon Topgun in 2014 to redo. It sat and sat because my shop got flooded with work. We have been very fortunate to have made incredible customers and really get traction for doing quality work and a reasonable price. Though most of our work comes form out of state. I finally have sold the boat and it is getting built.

History- The boat is a 1992 Carbon added layup. This is the second carbon boat we have done. It originally was a Florida boat stored at Fort Apache. Then was shipped up to Vermont. When I picked up the boat it had been sitting on a trailer for about 4 years if I remember right. 1 blown engine, a mechanic that went to jail, guy just wanted the boat out of its life. I bought it basically in the winter. Was supposed to run and drive. Basically everything was junk. KidApache robbed the motors from me. So it ended up sitting around my shop pretty much stripped. I would work on it here and there. We blueprinted the bottom. repainted the whole running surface. I closed the transom up from being TRS and we are going with a raised X dimension #3 drive. Also picked up a set of 572ci blower motors 825hp. Those are getting refreshed as we speak. Stelling headers, etc. Also adding a custom race hatch to the boat.

I don't post on here often due to difficult to post pics from the phone, but I will do my best to update. All rigging will be done by 88Bullet (Tim Johnson WNY Offshore) We just make things look good, and he makes them run good!

I like the new and unique look you gave the hull. How is the black and white pattern done on the lower hull sides ?
