I remember the boat, and it did sink at one point in 2005/2006. The boat was acquired by Mike Fenton, a close friend of Dick Congel of RC congel (used to be a huge dealer here) Mike used to buy repo and insurance boats to flip. I watched that boat dry indoors with fans and drip methods for months the summer of 2006 at Congels. The sunken power was scrapped and it was converted to 502 mpis mated to the stock trs drives. It was cleaned and ready to go and was sold by Chris Martin from the Boat House in Constantia NY in the spring of 2007.

That was before it was painted correct?

Just being a smartass.

Baronmarine on here cut the cabin all out of his Topgun and glassed in some frames. Bow sits about 10 inches higher at rest now and the boat doesn't rattle like it was starting to do after a few years of him beating his Gun like it owed him money.

Saw 96 this summer in it with 900s and #3As but it is propped for rough water acceleration and not topspeed, He doesn't like to go out unless it is 3-4s minimum.

no, I saw it drying with that paint. However I don't know if Mike was the one that had it painted maybe before it was completely dry.

I remember the guys in the service department saying they were trying to avoid drilling relief holes in the boat and that's why it was drying inside. Had fans in the cabin but when I saw it the boat was completely assembled

Thx, I knew someone would actually know the story, I bought it knowing the past and price was very right for mew to do so, I had a nice conversation with GlassDave before purchase, so he made me feel ok, I spent 2.5 hours going over the boat, found some things but nothing to keep me from buying it, especially with the engines and drives that it has, if I should find something I am not ok with the boat can either be taken to Dave (local) or I part it and find another, had it out on lake yesterday in some 3-5's did just fine, besides damn cabin door rattling I was told to get used to that in any Gun..

A quick peek at cabin you can tell, I will have that redone later anyway if it's a keeper, passed a survey in 09 and recent showed 15% in a couple spots this May, Dave said don't sweat it, I did my own survey... I looked in places a surveyor does not, I am into a nice boat cheap, I can afford to make it nicer over the next few years if I chose, with a nice cleaning it shows very well.
