yep! Exactly what I’m looking for.

Thanks to Ryan at Ryan’s custom Detailing in lake Havasu for cleaning up the gun. Got up under those motors even and acid washed the trailer. Cleans up pretty nice. I still haven’t seen it in person though. lol 🤦‍♂️

Team Archer 03-01-2024 01:36 PM

I remember wen Ron first got the boat and had me take apart the drives gimbal and tabs to paint them yellow with the flames ! And rebuilding the hatch after it flew off on a lunch run

I got it from the boat painters Facebook page. I believe there's a golf cart that matches

How the hell do you buy THAT boat and not go at least look at it!!! I wouldn’t be able to sleep.

Seahawk 2000 03-01-2024 07:48 PM

More history for you. Just got this from Joe Baca at Pfaff Engines / Baca Marine. Enjoy! Your new boat is a legend around here.

but when we went to key west a couple weeks ago we landed at the havasu airport to pick some people up and my wife and daughter were teasing me…”it’s gotta be killing you to be this close and not go see it….” lol

I'm for sure coming down to visit when you have that in Ventura!

I was actually going through this whole thread recently and I like how Steve did it in their gladiator he posted in this thread on page like 35ish. Diamond pattern. Would like to do Cig oval at the back seat floor like we did on the Cafe and "top gun" script in the cabin. Little Cig ovals at the foot rests. Also, AJ is supposed to be meeting with Adrenaline Trailers owner to schedule getting the trailer spruced up. Rob, buddy that towed it out had a local trailer shop in LOTO install disk brakes, yanking the old drums out and put on a new EOH control unit. replaced all hubs, etc. so that's all done but I'd like to have it torn down, painted, new bunks, all new LEDs with LED's added on the frame rails and under the boat, add a storage box and fabricate a new bow stop like they did on the Cafe, except I want the steps to not be as vertical as they were on the cafe, more offset for ease. I want to put Matching Seadeck on top of the fenders with Cigarette script and a seadeck pad on top of the storage box with "Running With The Devil" in the proper font.

Those are the two first tings I'm focused on. I don't know if it'll get done before april though frankly. but hopefully. We'll see. After that it's small stuff. Swap the GPS out for a glass flush unit. Add underwater lights, a depth finder, new head unit that's blue tooth capable, whatever else I find. Oh, and AJ will go through and do a full service top to bottom. And it's getting fully detailed including engines polished. Get it all dialed in. lol


I had light gray seadik and it was a pain to keep clean. I hated every minute of it . Next boat went dark gray and it`s so much better . Dark gray over red over black
You can also match your registration numbers .

I’ll have to think about that. We had light grey over blue and black in the cafe and yeah it would show dirt. But I’d take a pressure washer to it and everything always came out.

I like the dark grey but don’t know if it’ll match the boat. Boats pretty light. Not a lot of dark in it. I was thinking of doing top light grey middle white and bottom red.

like this but red instead of blue.

I think with my interior light grey would look better though. And then I don’t know if I should do planks or diamond. Diamond may be too busy. I was also thinking of doing the cig oval at the rear bench but the more I look at the way Steve did it with the script the more I lole
it. Then I can do ovals at the foot rests. And Top Gun down the cabin floor.

yes!! That sh*t is funny. I think it’s the owners daughter. I laugh everytime I watch it. “Can never flex too much” lmfao. Classic.

Its a stunning boat, we did a poker run in 93 here in St Joesph at Pier 33, this bad boy was there Brand new, it was amazing then is even sweeter now.

yep,it is sweet, except many people are looking for party barges. With the fact it has basically no back seat and is limited to only five people the demographic gets pretty small. If you were looking for a fast poker run day boat for two people it’s great.

Helmwurst 03-10-2024 08:08 PM

Nice looking Gun, maybe a little too much 90MPH. Can't hide that from the insurance man.

I already had plans of taking the paint on the engine hatch off if I bought it The rest is fine but I think the engine hatch paint is a tad over the top.

It would be cool to put SeaDek on the hatch around the scoops, that carried the flames into it. I'm always sketched out walking on engine hatches that are hard gelcoat.

sorry, I should’ve been more clear. I was referring to the huge 90MPH paint on Lock and Load. I’m leaving the engine hatch on RWTD. It has padding in front of the scoops and down the middle so you can actually lay down comfortably between the scoops. But def gonna get seadeck laid down in the cockpit and cabin.

Nykamp 03-11-2024 06:05 PM

Cool, I remember it having the Illinios numbers up front. I looked at her hard before buying Allez Vite but she was hammered when Phil got her back from the islands

yep! It had just come back from the Bahamas in 05 and Phil had it for about 2 weeks when we were buying our gun from
him. I was sniffing around L&L and asking Phil about it since it was about same price. Phil said, don’t even think about it. That things gonna take a lot of money to rehab. He wasn’t wrong.
