I've got her safe and sound in the barn. Putting some 1000 hp whipple'd 580 ci motors in. Boat will be on dry sump 6s with 1.50 gear and 35 x 17.25" props this year. Huber 1450s and CMI Big Tubes still present. She's in decent shape, ordered marine matt for her Saturday and the boat is having a new full sunbrella cover made that covers the sides and plan to use her sparingly for poker runs. The purple paint on the back has a few chips/nicks and some peeling clear from gas overflows. I am having my friend who owns a body shop fix all this before the season. Top deck and side paint in stellar shape. Thankfully was able to figure out the original color.

Pretty rare/special boat so pretty happy to have her.

Sweet, congrats! This boat has so much history to us mid-westerners.lol
Are you up in the northeast?
Please keep us posted on your progress!
Can't wait to see the final product!

I have heard some from Eric and others but welcome any history on it if you want to send me a private message. Love to hear what you know about it. Yes to North East region. PA/NJ/MD- fresh water MD Chesapeake Bay and occasional salt Atlantic Ocean- Ocean City, NJ/Strathmere, NJ.

New power is done for the 42. Ended up making 1004 hp and 1043 lb ft of torque. 10.7 psi. Power was a Frank Ungarten FMS Engines combo. Frank cam, 580ci Dart Big M, AFR 335 Heads, Whipple 3.3 w200ax blower, and a Pro Systems 1650 Dominator. They made 1000+ lb ft from 3000 rpms to 4700. Should be more than enough to get this big girl going!

Awesome!!!!!
