That would be FANTASTIC!!! I have heard that it went to California and was originally a 3 man standup boat but I wasn't sure if any of that was correct. "IF" you can find them I would really really appreciate it.

Thank you very much. Well, we brought it home yesterday in a complete downpour which sucked.

Those V8 outboards dwarf me and I'm 6'3".....

Thank you. After almost 4" of rain the last couple of days, the sun is popping out and maybe I can uncover it and actually set in the boat and look things over. :-)

Finally the rain stopped so I could uncover it and get it out in the sun

It came with a ton of receipts and literature including a letter from John Coen as well as a brochure. If any of you guys would like me to scan this brochure, I can certainly do that and send it to you.

Looks to be in great shape and I'm even starting to like those V-8's. They look right at home on the back.

I'm about your height and I'd be careful going into the cabin. It would be a shame to have to enlarge that hole just to get you out!
