I share the love of staggered engine boats. Here's a couple more of Body Shot.

Anyone know why they don't use those big trim tabs anymore?

Too heavy.

the beast.. I found these pics online... it's become one of my favorites

Rough Water!

Does Lock and Load now have a different name? If it does, I may have some info for you.

"Pure Pressure"

"The Beast" was for sale for a looooong time out of Chigaco.

What do you mean the boats aren't top guns? They're not 38'????

I'm no expert but I believe those two boats in question were made as race boats and do not have the Top Gun deck but a completely different race deck instead. Notice that the dash/fairing is much further aft on the "Body Shot" boat. Note that the first boat had the dash/fairing moved forward to make room for a 6 pack cockpit. It looks much more like a TG that way also.

CB can clarify.

Finally got my computer back up to post some pics. Bought her last December and did a couple fun runs on Lake Michigan and Lake Cumberland Poker Run. Pulling the motors for some dyno tuning and a few small projects and really looking forward for next summer. Hope to wind up storing in Florida next winter.
