Well????? I think I saw some pics on fb. Congrats Paul! You have to start a thread or keep posting on your journey. Supper happy go ya man. What an epic boat. That thing will be crushing it there

Congrats on one wise purchase imho, Paul. Dan as always did an amazing job on this boat and I was shocked when it didn't sell

at first. Those Gentry motors I guess were de-tuned to around 900 hp each by Dan and will be reliable and stunningly impressive.

You've got the Cig KAAMA 36 tribute there, the Kiekhaefer Aeromarine III, and the 1973 Cigarette Racing Team 35 Dry Martini now

owned by Jonathan and son Hector Sainsbury. With the right preparation and you got a very serious contender. Godspeed and

look forward to follow your endeavors in UKOPRA.

Hi yes I will keep posting as the race season starts any one interested can just go to the UKOPRA site , motors in the boat are more in the 650 HP range but not 100% sure as 650/ 700/750 was mentioned by the seller when I bought it to not really sure .
we are going with the mighty Mouse name and will have to change number as 99 is in use .Don't know how to post picture here but when I work it out I will .

Thanks for posting the photos👍👍👍

De nada, Paul. Any boat that Dan at Archer Marine goes through and restores or refurbish, always turn out to be

spectacular. He makes sure that things work even in rough conditions. You truly scored on this boat.

Paul, I can’t wait to see more! What’s on the “to do” list before the race season starts?

Hi Jay I have had to do quite a lot more than I was led to believe I had to do , I was told good to go just needs fresh fuel 😂😂 two turbo s seized carbs and maifoud full of rust and corrosion and water with what looked like barnacles the side of peas in the manifold . Be the last time I trust anyone's word .
​​​​​​many hours of work later I am getting on top of it going back to mighty mouse and will be race number 1-09 fit a decent auto fire extinguisher and good to go will let you know when UKOPRA has its first race

This is really concerning, Paul. Never heard anybody that had a tricky experience at Archer Marine. Am I missing something? Who said "good to go just need fresh fuel"? Dan

doesn't sell boats so it must have been with a broker for quite some time and not been taken care of?

Yes I heard the same from a friend of mine here ,but as I said one motor induction side was a mess had to grind the corrosion out of the mini manifolds then have the holes welded up they were full of water I guess sea water looking at the corrosion , ueven the fuel pump vent hose fitting was in the bottom of the manifold waiting to be sucked in the turbo cockpit stunck off pis s but I put that down to the Dockers , and didn't have any paper handy and did some maths on the side of the boat where the 99 is . tSent you a friend request Jay before I got the boat ?.
