Larry, any updates? :)

She's getting a face-lift fella's. There were a few patches we found after removing the paint. Everything is being cut out and replaced as it should. Hopeing to be in paint by the end of the month....A special thanks to Contour Fiberglass for going the extra distance on her. I'll keep ya guys posted.

Nice project, are you going to continue to run the 280s?

Yes, both have already been completely rebuilt. Not happy with the other engine options available right now.

Looks like now is a good time to add a windshield

Just saw this boat yesterday at my brother in-laws shop. Contour Fiberglass in Spring Grove. He had a few other cat type projects he was working on. Glad to see you saving it.

James is your brother in law? Aww man sorry to hear that! Lol just kidding. Hes chipping away at it. The tanks are being built in Lake Havasu as we speak. He's also working on my other boat. Should be a great summer.

What are you doing with tanks when you say they are being built in Lake Havasu

Yeah he seems to get "involved" with every boat I have. I don't know if by choice or knowing that I have to live with his sister. Maybe he feels sorry for me!

I'm sure it will turn out great. When he told me the name of the boat figured I would do some searching. Before I found your post I told him he should get your ok and make the thread on the work.

"Tank It" is making a set of aluminum tanks for me and my buddy's 28 skater. There is no way I'm going through what I did to fix the original tanks again. It's the best $1200 spent on the boat hands down.....There baffled too.

Sounds like a great option. My 28s at Skater now having a small leak fixed on each tank. Didn't know about the tank it aluminum option. I put bladders in my 46 and they have worked great. By the way I raced against the mobile one boat in 1994 stock class. Lee Aerospace S77. Lot of fun and great memories :)

Yes Jim. I think this is the way to go in the long run. I love the history of this boat. Makes me feel more and more that it needs this restoration. I met you down at LOTO shootout 2012 Jim. I was down there with Brad Zastrow. Hope to see ya this year. ;-) And again, beautiful 28 you have......

Thank you and congrats on getting a cool 28!!! Look forward to seeing it when it's done! :) if you see me somewhere come up and say hello and I'll take you for a ride in mine. Just a little 28 fix until yours is done.

Yo Larry!!!. What's up wit the 28?

All the glasswork is done finally. Bottom and transom has new gelcoat. It's in paint right now :-)

What are you going to be putting on it for power?

3.4 L Etec's with 1.62 Sportmaster Conversions. There's no replacement for displacement..... :-)

"Hurry" We all wanta know. .................. This could be interesting!

Oh my. This is gonna be good.

Well it took over two years, but the new "blank slate" mobile one skater is done with its glass and gelcoat work....Sitting on a new aluminum trailer. I will say it was worth the wait, cause its beautiful. Hopefully the rigging won't take another two. Lol

NICE! You picked up Paul's motors? All of his stuff is immaculate.

Sad no E-Tecs but those fresh water 300s should do fine. :D

did this boat have k planes on it when was raced?
saw on an earlier page a pic of the dash with a 4 slot trim indicator,,,,,,
I believe ""cat can do "" boat had them didn't know mobil 1 did also,,,,
I have a 28 im going through
and gutting parts off my Excalibur to put in skater,,,all new gauges,switchplates,control;s,gps,radio ect
and have a new set of 12"x24" long tapered tabs I was thinking on putting on for for the mid speed porpous

huge tks for this pic,,,,,
don't know where u always are getting all these pics,,,,
but as some 1 else said don't stop,,,,,,,,,,

larry,,,,,do u still have then tabs u took off

Yes I still have them. They are not your average K Planes. They are composit with carbon fiber inserts. I've never seen any other like it. Maybe Double Rigged could tell you more about them. I had to cut the trim tab indicator lines in order to remove them. I have the rams and pumps for it also, not sure on the through hull fittings, i may. They all could you a good cleaning. I can get some pictures this weekend....

On a separate note, those of you mentioned Paul's motors. Do you guys have any pictures of the Nordic they came off of? I'd like to see the paint scheme......

Larry

I found 1) with the 400's
