New customer had me pick up his 24' Banana he purchased on ebay. As per the thread titled " Banana Year and Number" this looks to be the 2nd Team Banana boat built for Mike Snow.(See pics on "Banana Year and Number" thread Post #39). Question is ,does this boat have any significant history or should it be treated like any other Banana Boat.(I have my 28 Magnum race boat and would never convert it to pleasure even though they are hardly worth anything in race trim). Looking foward to some history and opinions before I get started on this one. Thanks!!!

I doubt it as Charlie was not involved in Banana Boat by the time that pic was taken. Banana was located at Port Edgewood Marina in Cranston , RI at that time.
