42 Custom 1992, only one built with staggered SSM 6's and 6 man stand up cockpit. If you look close the fairing is molded in rather than bolted on and the swim platform is raised to allow tailpipes to come out the back instead of over or under. Next step is all new dash and controls interior is all new all white. Motors either 850 efi's or 1000hp blowers, efi's are already built so I am leaning that way.

Nice job on the update! The old style hatches looked like coffin lids, what a difference.

I am a SSM 6 fan, I have battled and broke Bravos for years.

Vincent Custom Paint LOTO has done my last 3-4 boats.

Thanks guys!!!
The picture really does not do it justice, every color but the white is a "pearl" and when the sun hits... WOW... I am impressed. The hard lines of the old style boat seem to soften and the new vents in the hatch really make it look like a new boat.

I will add photos as we progress.

No, I was not interested as they were in pretty bad shape and 1 was in pieces, I took all the rigging parts though lots of nice pieces.

I will be putting the Merc 850 EFIs (fresh) back in for this season.

Is that the boat that was on the cover of one of the magazines (Motorboat and Sailing maybe) back in the day? Think it originally had Merc 600 SC?

Talk about an updated look that looks great, what a drastic improvement that made to the appearance of your boat.

It originally had Merc1000sc then changed over to Ford tunnel rams 900hp I think.
