Such a rare boat and used to be so BAD AZZ. Super shame to see someone let this thing go to waste like this.

This makes me sick - stop and think of all the Offshore folks that would kill to have a boat/hull like this?? I'm still amazed at the number of boaters that don't care what happens to a boat - treat it like dirt - no maintenance or up-keep and then are upset when something doesn't work.

Our "Toys" cost a lot of money - and I will never understand how anyone can't be a good steward of what they have been given to use.

URGH

Always loved that boat. Was my first introduction to powerboats & made me want a Baja.

If it wasn't staggered and cut for bravo's rather than 3,4,or 5s, it might be easy enough to throw back together, as it is will be hard to piece it back together cost effectively

You sure it isn't cut for 6's?

Either way, being cut for SSM drives is a selling point to me not a discouragement. Throw some 3A's or 5's on that thing and some decent 800ish HP and it'd be a bad b!tch - Turn key, ready to roll.

Staggered makes it special, looks like #6 holes, hard to tell
