Default 84 Sanger 29 Alley cat

I bought another boat project, 29' Alley cat. Currently has a Pratt Whitney turbine in it but I'm planning to re-power it.

Now that I think of it I think it was Howard Arnesons.

This boat came from the West out by Havasu and Meade, say a while in San Diego and somehow ended up on the East Coast.

Nice. Looks like it will keep you busy for a little bit. What are you going to repower with?

I would love to hear the conversation with an insurance agent about insuring the boat

So I am gonna re-power it. Either a twin turbo LS or twin turbo Big block. The current turbine is said to have had 850 HP and ran a solid and consistent 110-115. When it was sold back in 2015 I was told it ran a best of 120 mph.

It's gonna keep me busy for a while, I'm giving myself 2 years to have it water ready. There's no interior so it leaves me open to do whatever with it.
