Anyone have any pics and/or info about the INXS that was converted into a pleasure boat?
Thanks: Matt

The one in pics by lowblue320 above is located in Baytown, Texas near Houston. It has been converted to an enclosed cockpit with A/C. It will be running in the TOPPS' poker run next weekend which is scheduled to be photographed by PowerBoat Magazine. The owner has several other boats including a 105' Hatteras previously owned by Tiger Woods! In last year's poker run, the boat was just finished and developed an engine issue. It ran the entire poker run on 2 motors and still flew!

What happened to the #7 canopy INXS that Tres Martin throttle and was owned by Terry Sabraese (sp?) who owned the resturant in Ft, Lauderdale called Sloop John B's? I use to go eat there on every business trip back in 1996-99 when they had the offshore racing theme in that resturant.

RedDog yep that is the one! they set the kilo in 1994 I believe at 124 or so mph. I have a big poster of that boat I got from the Sloop John B's resturant in Ft. Lauderdale that they gave me.

JCPERF, so what is going on with that boat? Any plans to use it? Is it gutted or ready to run still?

Didn't Joey Skrocki's Mom buy one of the INXS boats a while back? Is that the one in Texas?

It still looks the same as it did.The guy who owns it has 3 engines to put in it.Wants me to go through them and plans on putting it together.We were going to use the boat to break the record around Long Island.:cool:

That is the one in Clear Lake, but I don't think it is really his mom, he just calls her that.

Here are pix of the project:
