I guess a good follow up is how is it rigged now in comparison, and does it kill you to look at those MUCH less cool graphics?

LOL. Congrats on a cool find, though.

That is sooo cool you found her. At least she didn't get fat, like my old girl's did. :evilb: If you can't get her back ask for one last ride. HAHA

[QUOTE=X-Rated30;3837054]Funny - you look thinner in the second pic on the thread. :evilb:

And younger...........
And more hair..........
which was darker........
and I would jump from the boat to the ground with no ladder if I was in a hurry...................
could come in from being out all night and get a shower, hitch the boat up and head to the shore with no sleep............


yeah, I know :cartman:

The guy with the glasses is my brother Greg. He was 23 and I was 29 in the pics. They were taken in 1990.

Back when I had her she had a pair of 427's spinning 23" mirages at just under 6K. The Gaffrig speedo told me 75.

She now has a pair of 454's and the owner told me she does around 60.

I was thinking.............and I hate when my mind starts to wander.............could one sand off enough of the white to pick up the outline of the old graphics underneath? Then you could re-tape and re-shoot the old paint job.

I helped my buddy put the engines back in it. That pic is at extreme Marine. The guy still had the yellow exhaust gil manifolds when he brought him the boat. Best of luck with it..

The current owner is Nick. Seems like a real nice guy. He was kind enough to stand out in the freezing cold with me on Saturday while I climbed all over the boat. Is that the friend you helped with the motors?

excalibur82 12-24-2012 08:35 AM

No Rob he owns extreme marine..

[QUOTE=X-Rated30;3837054] Also, what was the model? HIN looks like a 300 being a 79 (I think), but I thought all those had windows.

You are correct. We filled all of the widows in before we painted it in 1989.
