Ok, i see. The way you put it made me think you thought they were going to re-do the boat, put 1000hp motors in, and still have around $65k in it.

Hey guys, we just arrived in Hudson WI. We are attending the Konrad training school this week and thanks to Crazyhorse we will be picking up the project Top Gun thursday morning.

I'll post pics when we return.

This boat sold quick, and I hope it works out. i called GSC and they said it had water damaged cabin, so i decided to let it slide.

It's missing it's drives, so you have to put ALOT more than $ 65 k into this thing.

Oh, no trailer too.

I decided an older running Top Gun is a better buy.

The Konrad's are Drives wannabe.

Knowing Biggus they will elbow grease the mechanical fixes and the other stuff themselves and make it a good deal. I don't want to get into semantics, at least once this "project" is done you have a Top Gun. There is a lot of people doing projects that don't end up with that for the same or more money.

GLH- I know what the Konrads are. The ad said (and I confirmed by speaking with sales people) the original TRS drives for the boat were missing. If you notice in the photos they are not present.

I agree that with lots of elbow grease (sweat equity) they will end up with a TGun. I though about it but passed, and will be glad to hear about the progress Biggus and friends accomplish on this boat. I don't have that kind of time, wish i did though.

Hello everyone, I'm currently sitting in the office of Grand Sport in IL. Thanks to Crazyhorse for delivering the trailer down here. We are all loaded up and ready to hit the road.

The boat looks great for the $$. It is pretty much completely original. We plan to rebuild the motors with a pair of 671's and new Konrad 540's on the back.

Tim and I just completed the Konrad Marine training center and Dorr's Marine Engines is now factory certified to rebuild Konrad drives.

As far as Konrad pricing is concerned, the 540 drive, set up as a direct bolt-on for aTRS transom assy. is @9k. The drive and complete transom assembly is @11k

I'll post pics when we return.

Kurt

Right on Kurt....Hurry up and post some pics. This could be a nice little step by step photo thread of the progress. By the way, did you sell your gun?
