YAY!

I pass this boat every time I go grocery shopping and it is ridiculous to me no one has built a carport/roof for it or any of the other presumably high-dollar boats next to it. They are just sitting in a parking lot getting blasted by rain and sun. They do have tonneau type covers(phenom does not) but idk to me a tonneau/cockpit cover is more of a short term thing or something you do in addition to having a roof over it. There's a small boat dealer just down the street from it that has a number of 'new' boats just sitting out in the rain and sun with no cover at all.

Be cool to see if so, I think most everyone would like to see that boat on the water even if not setting any records and just out enjoying it.

Is it still in good shape? I remember reading the story behind it not to long ago. Good to hear that someone’s doing something with it.

Its a heavy boat for sure it will take some tall power to make it run near its potential. Very cool that its not just going to deteriorate to junk.

It's been kept outside for years. Still looks great though.

I can second this! Its been outside fro a while with drives and engines pulled. Herd, its a has a closed cockpit, so nothing is open that I know, so really its just a painted boat outside. Not sure when it was taken, but looks like a cover is over it though.

If true, this will be nice to see it running! I may have to detour that way in the morning on my way to work (New Orleans)
