Are you guys boating yet?

Kurt

Looks like a new boat, lots of good work. I like the very clean look. Eric

Yes, the motors were rebuilt , we got ride of the oil injection , changed the port timing ,opened up the exhaust , slight mill on the heads , rejet the carbs, machined the front air horn . This way we boost the hp to a reliable level . We will spin them up to 6800-7000

Tom

Yes, its a 1988 38 Cougar , totally redone. The owner is redoing the motors. 557 gentry turbo set-up , fresh water cooled . Motors are capable of 1300 hp.

Kurt, My searay is in the water, but have not been out yet. Its still pretty cold down here . I do not think I can test the Activator today as its cold, and its blowing like 25mph . I have not touched the OL yet.

Tom

Thank you every one for the comments on the boat.. I will at least get some out door shots today,but I have to resize all of the pictures .

What did it look like before?

I will post a few during the week , I have them down at the shop.

Tom, it came out great.
I hope to see it tearing up the western Sound.

The boat is beatiful but I really love the garage!

What do ya mean cold?? I heard it was 50 degree's and raining this weekend.I miss that weather ! Not!

Boat looks great bring it down to jacksonville, or one of your other toyz.

It seems as though the wind will not let up down here 15-25 this past weekend but around 75

The garage is awesome . Its a good friend of mines home, that he lets me use . That garage is more equipped than most race shops .

Tom

Brian , hows it going? i have not had a chance this winter to go south. This boat took alot of time . When is jacksonville?

Tom

Storm , this is the one that was on the side of the shop. as far as tearing up the sound, it will only for a little while. It will be on the market shortly......

Its going good tom, fortunately I built and sold 2 houses in 08.Currently finishing another but not sold yet.... Hopefully that changes real soon.

The dates for jacksonville 4,5,6th june. Skip the New york run or just bring a different boat. Trust me this run is the sshhitttt !

14 hrs to exit 8 in south carolina from your door another 2.5 to jacksonville.I have a guest house that your welcome to. I may have an open seat if you fly down last year 2 passengers overslept and missed the run !

Looks good Tom!!

Brian , Im on vacation that weekend so its a possibilty . Thanks for the offer .. Tom

Thanks Rick.

Sweet ride, I love these Activator since I saw JC's one.

What is that in the background? Looks like a Cougar V...

Boat looks great! What year is it?

I think I've only seen one other set up with OB's....very nice.

Nice boat twn OB's should run great!Good luck!:ernaehrung004:

Love those Activators. Nice looking rig ya got there!

Wow! That is a beautiful makeover.
Maybe i can sneak out for a ride one afternoon. :drink:
Any idea where she'll be priced?

Tom,
Looks awesome, nice job
Dean

Dean , Hows it going? I did not make it to FL at all this winter.


We test today... Will try and post some pictures of boat in the water later..

Awesome looking redo. I live in Jax, just moved here from NY and have a 27' Activator with twin outboards also. I am looking to redo the interior. Would love to hear more about the interior.

Bring that thing down to Jax for the poker run. Would love to have some more Activators down here for once.

By the way, I went out of St. Augustine inlet today, just 20 miinutes south of Jax. Had 3-4's and the boat just soared. One of those days that reminds you why you go through all the time, money and frustration having a boat. Go Activator!!!
