yellow race boat in NH
 

just curious what became of this boat and wondering if anyone knows. it was mid to late 80s on rt1in new hampshire by seabury at used truck dealer was a yellow v bottom boat around 39 feet that had arnesons and had diesels at one time it sat on a wooden cradle anybody ever see it ?

I remember that boat well as I was living near there back when it first arrived. It was at Mel's Truck Sales (long gone) for years. It deteriorated badly as it was left uncovered for a very long time. It had fallen over and I believe the hull had a hole punched through it. Sad as it was obvious someone had spent a tremendous amout of money building it and it was very nice when it first arrived there (1988-89??)

Was this boat a bright yellow? Raised deck ?
I'd venture this was the same boat that was owned by Dr. Terry Bennett, who had a large collection of eclectic cars, bicycles, motorcycles and other stuff in Rochester, NH.

i think it was the same boat

I looked at this boat when it was on Terry's property at home, still uncovered. It needed a ton of work! Of course with Terry there was a story with the boat . .. .something like this;

The boat was built in Florida for drug smuggling, built out of kevlar to be strong and lightweight with lots of space below. According to Terry, it was only run once for testing off Miami, and then the owners were arrested for their business dealings. He acquired the boat w/o engines after that.

There were no hull numbers on the stern, and as I recall it looked a bit like a Coyote from JC Simon.

Wonder what happened to it. He certainly didn't like to sell much. Looked at a couple of cars he had before he passed. Couldn't make a deal. They ended up being blacked listed by the Feds prior to the Estate sale a couple years ago. Definitely wasn't a boat on the property that I recall

because if you are building a drug smuggling boat you want it bright yellow!

any photos of this boat?
