I can help with some info. Yes this is the same boat that sank in michigan. It was converted to a canopy by Terry Laughlin in Florida ? and re-rigged by Gentry's staff in Ca. About a year later the boat crashed in a tunnel in San Antonio crushing the port side. During the repair the angle of the sponsons were increased. I think the last time this boat raced was Key west 92 it had a wing mounted off the transom at that time.

I mailed the guy and asked him WHY scrap it.He said in the add he could not find anyone to buy it,so he was going to scrap.But he has a reserve on it and starts at I think 15,000. So why not start the bid at the price of scrap,said it weighted 17,000 lbs,if that's really what he intends to do and let someone buy it.Alum.is selling between 50-65 cents a lb.so I would LOVE to own it. Just crazy thing to do.Just my 2 cents. JOHN SR

I never understood how something so badass can just go to hell in such a short period of time. Missing pieces, seats left to weather, etc. Awesome boat, how did you acquire it?
