We took that boat in trade for a 36 spectre he took all the power 1000s 4 speedmasters with boxes and installed them in the cat,I think it was around 2001 i had the hull surveyed and it checked out ok the only thing he noticed was the bottom sounded different on one side the previous owner had installed 1 new tank and maybe used different foam,so we decided to install a new tank on the other side the center stringer looked fine,we installed a new transom the stringers were fine we installed the bravos with rebuilt merc 500 installed hydromotive 26 4 blades,took the boat for the first sea trial and was amazed how well it ran had and old norskog speedo showed 86-88 mph probably gps speed 80-82 handled great was the nicest riding 10m i have been in

Did you guys do any work to the bottom of the boat? It looks like it has had some work done to it at some point. I know one thing the G%D D^&M transom assemblies are about impossible to get off. They are stuck good. Was the interior down below all gutted back when you guys did the work? In the final stages of prep work. Stringers still all seem/sound good. We did notice the back bulkhead is a little soft, but nothing were going to even worry about. So then I think with out a doubt it should be a 100mph boat with are 7xx's in there. Thanks again John jr

Well, got all the hardware off the back, in the process of sanding it all down, some things I do not like about it, but I guess that is what happens when a boat has been done for over 10 years. It has been to hot an humid to do any sanding or glassing, so I just held off. I did get 2 gallons of white IMRON, should be plenty to do from the rails down to the first strake. Will get some pics up soon.

Finally after getting the transom assemblies off and the trim tabs and steering off must have used crazy glue.The finish under the tabs was all messed up ground out the bad stuff re glassed and filled.Used 3-M premium filler as per glassdave he does know his stuff .That stuff is great to work with.What a job.Now the complete hull is ready for primer.Laid off a few weeks to hot to work.So back on it now.Next will be paint using Emron on hull sides and deck.Just a little update.JOHN SR

Well dad was able to get over today to get a coat of primer on the transom, about 1/2 up each side. Looking better already.
