When it was brand new it was on a poker run here in michigan at peir 33, it was from chicago then texas and last the islands. Needs alot of $$ to make it nice again, it was sent in for a complete rebuild and the guy decide to get a new boat, so I was told by Phil. Needs complete drivetrain rebuild, three new headers, new intercoolers, tabs rebuilt. Comes with a new cig int., in it's day it was surposed to be the nicest of the 6 built, and was completly rigged at TNT with the best hardware. I saw it when I was working down there around the time of the Lauderdale show. It could be a nice ride again all it takes is $$. Steve

Don't be afraid to give Phil a shout. He will tell you everything about the boat, good and bad. He's not one of those salesmen that's gonna wear you out 3 times a day about it either. :cool:

Re: 93 gun at phils
 

I saw the boat up close and considered buying it before I bought mine....the owner wanted way too much $$$ for the condition....he kept vascillating back and forth with me on price.........as Steve said, it needs a LOT of $$$$ to bring up to speed....I wasn't told it probably needed a new drive train, but I gathered same...the headers were leaking badly and were band-aided for the sale at the time....probably had water inside as well.....the interior was shot.....owner is Cecil Penn from the Bahamas, I believe I still have his number, however, I didn't find him to be particularly forthcoming with information....the cabin is a cover girl, but with the two seats and table on the left...I believe it also has the closed in head......the cockpit config is 5 drop down bolsters.......Penn wanted a bigger boat, but "his wife" made him keep this boat because he had so much into it".......Phil was going to re-do the interior at the time (about 6 months ago)......here are some pictures....

I am very glad I didn'tt purchase it.....got a much nicer one... :D :drink: :cool:

I'm planning to go down Monday, talk to him about some boats, and of course get pics. Anyone else gonna be around? How about a boat ride :drink:!

I find the Lipship add conflicting. It atates the boat is "expertly maintained" yet the condition is listed as "fair".

Bobby,

What time are you heading down??

After School I presume??

I go back to midnite shift on Sunday, so I'll have the day off if you want company.

Re: 93 gun at phils
 

No, I actually have the day off, so I'll probably go around lunch time. I'd love to roll down with you. I'll give you a call over the weekend to make sure it's still on. :cool:

Re: 93 gun at phils
 

Now thats a cool rig !!! :cool:

Re: 93 gun at phils
 

Needs a lot of work but it sure would be a neat project.

Re: 93 gun at phils
 

something I could actually afford - just not fix.

Re: 93 gun at phils
 

these boats really run well.........








but, then again, I'm biased :D :D :D

Re: 93 gun at phils
 

I spoke to Phil yesterday and he was getting on a plane for Las Vegas. Happy Birthday Phil. I guess it will have to be another time. :(

Re: 93 gun at phils
 

I was therre today and walked around the boat. Definitely needs attention on the outside.

Re: 93 gun at phils
 

Cecil is from the BVI, not the Bahamas. He has been in the last couple of poker runs here in the VI. I'm not sure, but I think it only finished one. The rest with drive failure. Also, lots if engine problems. When the boat runs, it runs good.
