Now imagine two NEW engines and Bravo 1 drives, new external hydraulic power steering, etc etc etc.

And then the market tells you all your efforts and all your cash is now only worth $20/30,000 all up.

You have just got to love classic boat restoration, it all makes so much sense !!!!

But I am glad I am not alone in this mad space.

Ian let me show how it's done. Take 60k spend on this beauty, it has not 2 engines, not 2 drives but 3 custom engines & drives... Plus look at this custom paint job & engine hatch, best money can buy. :picard1: I ask you Ian what are we doing wrong?? How could we not see this & not make are Magnums look like this? :D Now this SEDAN makes sense!!!!:party-smiley-004: I think the deep freeze we have been in here in Michigan is getting to me.:lolhit: Mark

yep i see a tri toon in your future all that speed has made the professor go MAD, as a side note , those carb. scoops all turned the same direction leaves me to think aero-dynamics are being accounted for !, yep tri toon h2o is a calling

Hi Mark, thank you for bringing this prime example to my attention, surprisingly I am strangely attracted to it. Wow we are under achievers, we are simply not bold enough.

Lengthening the hull is one thing but to then place two of the three engines in the extension and then three drives on the back of that moves my admiration to another level.

Someone has done a lot of work, but why ? and just how would you value it ?

Was it for sale when the pictures were taken ? and if so do you know the asking price at that time ?

It is creative but I tend to think that unless the owner finds someone of a like mind the man has done his cash in an outstanding way and lets be honest I should know !

Ian

Ian that one was not for sale, in good conscience how could you sell that to someone ? :eek: Now this one was for sale on ebay a few years ago the custom paint & art work this sedan has it should be in a museum [NOT MINE] Jeff might like it as there is a purple cockpit cover [he likes purple] :D Look at the custom rigging, Love the steam couplings on the water lines NICE !! :drool: Like I said where did we go wrong & why did I not think of that ???? Like I have said it's been a LONG WINTER!!!!

Brilliant, I love it.

Ian

i got free tickets im going saturday , me and Timmy Leslie use to compare how fast we could make it thru the show i had the record at 37 min and then to greek town for chops and a bottle of red. now back to the tritoon with #6 drives you know thats what you need
