The down side. A few snaps have pulled out and on the "fairing" area ther are hles where there may have been a wind-deflector installed at one time. Also the bottom is painted but the chips on the keel apear to be just in the bottom paint. A fewe stress cracks in the Gel but not too bad.

Questions,

Was the wire on the bow an antenna or a grab handle?

TRS and tranny, how hard would it be to replace with bravo or would that not even be worth it?

how fast with a stock 454?

Wire is a lifeline

Switch to a Konrad if ya want

Not very fast, maybe 60, but close up the hole and strap 2 outboards back there you would see 75

You are correct. Yup, I bought the boat off of Walt Anderson a year and a half ago then spent 6 months getting it back in shape. Waiting for the motor to come back from the shop. Blew the one in it last time out. Coming back as a 526 should go good this time around.

That is a pretty subjective question.
But it could run 12-15k.
I would leave the tranny and trs. Nothing wrong w/ that combo.
There are plenty of TRS parts around, if you know where to go.

Hey Sox did the owner give you any history on that boat? We had an Orange 24, I think it was a 77, and lived in Annapolis when it was sold in the early 90's.
