Default The new ride.

I got a call from Biggus the other day and he told me about this boat. It was so cheap that I could not say no. Even the wife was behind it!! It needs a pair of drives and some other small things but over all it is going to clean up super nice I think. Power are 420hp 454's all stock. We put fuel to it and it started on the first revolution of the motor and ran like it had just been in use yesterday. I hope it holds together for the season at leaste with out to much trouble.

As you can see from the pictures it was a dirty scow. I did a quick clean and I think all the dirt preserved the paint under it. Look at the dash picture to see what I mean. Quick whipe down and it was good as new.

Nice looking ride. Youd don't look old enough to drive a boat!

Looks like you found a diamond in the rough. Throw a little cash at it, add in a little elbow grease, and its as good as new. Good luck with it.

Thanks guys I am very excited to get back out on the water in a boat that can handle some water with the family on board. Duken, I can not waite for him to be old enough to drive the boat. Then I can just kick back and chill with Capt. Michael running the show. That is what I used to to for my Father. It was funny, he would get calls from friends asking him if he knew I was using the boat. He would say yes and they would tell him he was nuts

Still have it. I really want to finish it but with the building of the house in Maine and all the work we are doing on the house in MA I put it on hold for a while. So this will be the family truckster and the other boat I will now gut completely and make as light as possible.
