I us my race boat as a play boat every so often but docking is a B I T C H with a true two person set-up. But remember once simple rule, never approach a dock faster than you’re willing to hit it! And problem solved.

I don't think it was ever raced under that name. At least in the US it was not.

Why don't you just get Ed Cozzi to go over there and do a survey on it? If it was raced it was under the FOUNTAIN name and only a handful of times.....for the price it looks to be a good deal.

I will have a survey done on it when I get to that stage, no doubt. I definately dont need a saltwater logged exraceboat sittin in the backyard absorbing paychecks.. Just thinking itd make a great beginner raceboat and a fun poker run boat.. not to mention, something fun for the christmas parade here..

race boats have a different set of problems than pleasure boats...send someone that knows this and not an everyday boat surveyor.

a few pictures that I got that have me a little concerned..

1.) taped up hatch
2.) lexan in bad shape
3.) peeling paint
4.) gasket around hatch (water intrusion and lack of maintenance)
5.)salt stains on upholstery
