Jason, go to you tube. There is a nice vid on your yellow 33z running. search, "Henrik Thorstensens Z33 powerboat V#2".

Looks like LA Express used the Cheap Thrills pic. Sadly owner Steve Fussell has past, but Rich Schieferstein [the green gumby offshore referee] is still with us. I will ask Rich if he has any pic's of her that he can send me.

Default Hull and Hin #

Hull# and Hin # are the same...I have always referred to it as a Hin # (Hull Identification Number). Bud

Also check out my other site Magnumboatrestoration.com

your resto site was the one i was referring to. very nice!
so in the build list you posted magnum lists the hull # as a 3 digit#, so is it the first 3 numbers? or?
