If this is the boat I think it is ,I was very interested in this boat at one time. Infact we exchanged pictures. For the record I believe it is the boat he says it is but it will be a gigantic project. The previous owner graphed a cabin onto the deck and MF began the process of removing it. It is a classic bare hull in need of proffesional talents to restore ,
If this is not the boat I am thinking about my appologies to MF for any confusion.

Yes it is. After thinking for a while to convert into a cc, i'll soon start the body work. My plan will be to do all the work this summer, early autumn and then rig the boat during winter time.
Currently i am deciding if go for the original style the boat had or do a raised deck to gain some cabin height...
I have already bought resin, biax and mat (some rolls ;-) ) so once i decide the resto will be on.

It's kind of now or never, i'm getting tired of having this hull laying in the hangar and nobody seems to be interested in buying in the current conditioni, so i'll do the massive work of Resto.

Very best wishes with your project. This boat represented a milestone in the history of Offshore Racing, first race win by a Kiekhaefer Aeromarine engine in 1972. It has always been a favorite of mine and it would be really good to see it back to its former glory.
