so the boat is the old HART THROB, purpose built no cabin crash bulkhead race boat from the mid 90's and hasn't been in the water since then !

i wanted to do the original owner builder and the boat justice by keeping it in race trim but w/ a little pleasure in the mix.

the engine hatch / compartment was extended approx 21 inches so this is the frame work for the whole cockpit interior dash to fire wall

these should have been the pics from post 1

was talking to a member on here about the original 3 man bolster, 6 1/2' wide 3' deep 2 1/2' tall, it took 2 guys to get it out of the boat and when stood upright like a refrigerator 1 guy could pick it up for a few seconds and thats about all you could do w/ it. it was HEAVY, so it was suggested to make a 2 man bolster f1 style, i liked the idea, ran w/ it and bought some nida core.
6 thanks that was some good advice

bear w/ me getting the pics up

Cool looking boat,what's up with the midget striper pole with lights.

midget stripper pole with lights doubles as a christmas tree

can some one tell me why some pics come up as pics and some come up as letters you have to click on.

i don't want to post all of this twice
