First off....WHY!? It looks like it used to be a sweet boat.

Second, how much to put back together??

Third, who bought it? Sold in 24hrs of posting...33k seems like a good price.

Thanks to bouyhunter for posting this link,

I turned a good friend, and also my engine builder onto this 'ol Top Gun and we have some cool ideas of how to re-rig an old notch-transom, full cabin Top Gun.

My thoughts are a pair of Konrad HP540's, build a couple of 540" low decks with R-Tech Supercooled VORTECH centrifugal blowers.

From previous experience with the R-Tech system, I'm quite confident we can produce 1000 hp and deliver it in an extremely mild configuration.


This should be a fun winter :D

Keep me up dated on the progress. My brother was working on a deal on that gun but lost it to your buddy. I'm anxious to see what could have been. For my brother. He had the same plan for her with the konrads. Good luck

Hey Biggus, have you seen the boat? Is it in OK condition or is it pretty beat up?

Re: Who would let this happen!?
 

I think he was heading to pick it up Tank. He'll let us know, I have not known Biggus to keep things hush for too long... :D:D:D

Now that I look at this....
1992 Gun $34k
2 Konrads $22k
Engine work self performed over the winter & parts $10k
80 hrs of TLC, on estethics $0.3k
Sell the old TRS for $1k credit
Get new cabin finish as you get some $....

Going around in a 1992 Cigarette TG for a little over $65k.... Priceless.

Hope it works out for your buddy Kurt.

GL, you forgot about the 1000hp motors Kurt wants to build and the new interior the boat needs. He'll have a little more than $65k in it ;)

My $.02

WOW look's like a grate project boat

Re: Who would let this happen!?
 

I pulled off the exit for fuel about 6 weeks ago and saw it sitting in the field behind the boat dealer and it made me sick. I wrote the number down and was going to give them a call but didn't. I about got carried off be mosquito's so I couldn't check it out real good but for that price it was a steel. I think the dealer just became a Cigarette dealer for the Chicago area.

That's their option someone could of gotten something descent around $65k

The 1000hp's are there choice thus more $.
