Default Maybe a lil help

Ok so I just picked up this 1990 38 Fever, it was a repo so I haven't talked to the previous owner. I have talked to a few people from the area it was repo'd from and they don't know this boat. All I know is that it was kept indoors by its condition, has #4's on it, had blower motors in it and that the last owner bought it from lake Cumberland marine. It looks like the checkers were added and it seemed like it had the name RED LINE on the side near the front.
Just would like a little back ground on it so i know what direction to go with it. It has no power and I know what i would like to build but if i know what it had and what it did would be a good starting point

Getting back to you on the drive centers on Orca Challenge, the boat with the tall deck engines. The drive centers are 34" and the x dimension is 16 and it came with the tall decks from Fountain. You can call them with your serial number and they can tell you how your boat was equipped when it left them, and maybe even fax you the build sheets.

Buddy of mine has 38' fever with 485 hp 502's and it will break 65 on a really good day with no gas in the tank.

You can start there.

Let me know if you want to sell it. I have been looking for a projet like this.

I think that boat you're talkin about was a 95-96 with the shallow steps.
