Dammit!!!......I mean congratulations!! :)

Good luck, looks like a fun ride!

Congrats!!!
I know an excellent engine and drive guy in Marne if you need one.

Congrats!! Looks awesome and I'd love to get my hands on something just like it someday. I would, however, re-install the tabs along the lines of the V out by the chines. Best of luck.

Hull looks similar to the later model 26CV. Both great looking boats. Good luck!

Congrats - good luck with freshening her up and getting back on the water. Definitely a cool boat with great classic lines!!

Congrats!!!!! You Got One Hell Of A Boat!!!!!!!!!

I'd also get ahold of Nigel Hook and ask him about drive hight and battery/trim pump placement. I don't think anybody knows that hull better than Nigel, Not even the Manufacturer.

Eric,

A couple of years ago, that tab installation was thought to aid performance by not pushing "out"... Has that theory been disproven?

If it were me, I would leave them where they are. ...but unfortunately I not the lucky owner of this boat, so he will obviously do as he sees fit... I would imagine there were not many built...kinda like the 38... both very cool and rare boats... There was a 38 in NY "Jake the Snake" that i absolutely loved several years ago.

theory hasn´t been disproven, it still works.

And yes I´d leave the boats setup like it is and get some time with it.

Nice boat, all I can say.

Yes 38´s are rare but still on my last trip I saw at one place two ex Betty Cook 38´s...
