Love the running shot of her, when do you think it was taken?........."Love the Squadron X11 very capable ocean runner!".....Good luck and post up when the restoration begins!
I remember seeing the boat from around 2005-2015 on the lift at the marina. It was taken out and shrink wrapped every winter. I got a ride on it and drove it on my 13th birthday. After that, it sat in the yard shrink wrapped until it was brought by a friend of mine. The motors it had are sitting in the shop at the marina and are supposedly going into a 39' Cigarette Competition....which is apparently for sale. My friend who I brought Dry Martini from, had plans to put motors and drives in and run it, but he had too many other things going on and just did not have the time.
As far as I know it was taken care of, but still with any old boat it will need work. The running shots of the boat were taken back in 04 at the NPBA Glen Cove Poker Run.

The cover it has is in rough shape, but i was thinking of putting a tarp over the canvass cover as well. I am going to work on the tree sap tomorrow, since we are finally getting a day without rain....it's been horrible these past few weeks down here.

Not sure yet, I have a ways to go before I can even start looking. I would be fine with some 454's or 502s....or even 600s...

What did these boats have stock?
