My advice would be to take it to poker runs and enjoy it. They are more family fun and that will get more looks than a brand new Skater or MTI.

Have fun with the redo, can't wait to see it finished.

Good advice. thanks Tom.

i think tom has the best advice,enjoy it take it to some poker runs with the family.

time to move it, load of stone coming next week

In the last month I have lightened the boat up about three hundred pounds. Cut off the canopy and removed the fuel tanks from the cockpit and detailed the inside of the hull. I patterned the dash panel and getting ready to weld it in. I should be done with the cockpit this month and then to refinish the main deck and transom metalic silver. Still up in the air with power configuration. It is between a single #6 with high horsepower sc or staggered bravo's with twin 500hp.

Going to the weigh station
 

Here are some more pictures. Taking the Rascal to get weighed. Any pictures would be appreciated.

What happened to the drives off the boat? Didn't it have #5's on it? I could be totally wrong but putting a single #6 or twin Bravos seems like a really bad idea on such a big boat....

I concur. Very cool project so far!

The boat was stripped and on it's way to the crusher before I bought it. The drives where close together like a staggered set up. Then it had chain boxes deverting out to the transmissions and engines. Being as the boat is retired from racing I dont need the heavy trash from the past. Rebuilt hundreads of five four three trs's and alpha's to put food on the table for 28 years. Now I just want to enjoy the true engineered route of the #6 or the cheap run and toss Bravo route. Have a couple 1 3/4 shafts on the shelf also. Research and numbers right now.

Beautiful boat. Where was she built? Is she one of a kind?
