Scippy,

i bought her around 4 years ago, as I understand it the original owner went to jail, and had something to do with casinos. The boat was reposed by the marina and a shabby boat painter bought at a good price, he touched her up and sold her to me.
I got her for $38k. She had two Mack M7 620 HP Diesel engines, one of which blew soon there after.

I had the engine rebuilt, a story for another time, but let’s just say I had people come out of reteirent and drive half way across Florida to get her going again. After many sea trials, several burned out turbos and many futile attempts to get her dialed in, we never got her to ride the way she should. So one day when I had her out of the water I thought maybe I should just start from scratch, and that is what I’ve been doing for the past 3 years. I’m not a “boat builder” by trade but I’ve built several boats, cars etc. I have been around boats of all types since before I could walk.

I’m not sure what I’m going to do with her when I’m done, and though this might sound crazy to some of you, I’d like to build another one maybe, but for that to happened have to sell this one or get a divorce. :)

40 feet length ,I added three feet with the euro transom/engine bracket

shes 12.5 feet wide in her widest point but around 9 feet at the stern

Beautiful finish, it would be a shame to have to add non skid, teak, bow rail or a large squid. :)

Wow that is awsome! So what are you going to put on the back? If you already said, I apologize. Triple's or quads? 450's would be nice, but crazy expensive!
