Thanks. It has an alpha drive and my mechanic says it shouldn't be a problem, I'm easy on ithe boat and don't run it real hard .It has a 21p mirage prop which i was planning on changing to a 4 blade 24p, as suggested by the local go fast boaters at my marina.Speed range is high 50's and 60 on a flat day.My intent was to wrap the hull and deck in white and recover the bolsters,sunpad and coaming pads in white vinyl. I've decided though to sell the cobra and my 26' center console angler and move up to a larger boat.

Well, i didnt get to hear it run yet cause he's having a new Cam installed. However they will be done with it and the breakin tonight so tommorow will be the water Test.

If all is good, I'll be the proud new owner of a '76 24' Cobra with "Cigarette 1 Racing" emblems painted on both sides in the back.

I'm really not sure why its tagged Cigarette when its a Cobra so if anyone has any reason why It may have been done, feel free to chime in. (I have a feeling I'm going to hear a lot of "Someone forgot which boat they were painting" hahahaha)

[I'm really not sure why its tagged Cigarette] Everyone can identify with a Cigarette powerboat, only the purest know about the other powerboats!!! Now let's see some pictures of your new ride.
