Beautiful ride. Mind if I ask you the height of the seat off the floor? I assume it is a drop out bolster. Thanks

Thanks!! It is a twin bolster -- a 2 man seat with a single drop down seat cushion and no divider/armrest in the middle. When in the up position the seating surface is 25 inches off the floor.

Todd owned it probably 1999-2005ish. It had 540's and TRS's. Would run mid/high 70's and break a drive every couple of trips out. It was always driven hard! That was the first boat I had ever been on in true 4'-6' waves and I couldn't believe how it ran. I believe it went towards Chicago/Milwaukee area. The 540's were pulled and and sold to a guy with a beautiful red gelcoat 9 meter Fountain. He brought the engines back to Jim I believe to get rebuilt. I remember one day I was putting hydraulic steering on my Panther and the guy was putting amps in the Fountain. I looked down the side of the hull and there were 8 2" drywall screw out the side of the hull. I just shook my head. Smokin' was brought to a couple of the races in GH, St Clair and Ohio for pleasure boating. I'll try to get my old computer fired up and see if I can pull some old pics of Smokin' off of it.
Here is a pic along side my Panther when I was redoing the upholstery. Probably 2002
