Condor 24 Pics
i finally got her fired up today,sounds healthy! 
still waiting on the pad for the hatch ,have to mount the external steering and the drive. heres some pics of the project in progress,stripped to bare hull,reglassed transom to raise "x" 3 inches, designed and taped hull for paint,hard to see in pics but its metalic purple with orange tips over a yellow base, i think i will definately stand out in a crowd!

Re: Condor 24 Pics
Beautiful Lines. What is the history of Condor? I have seen some recent large Condor's that were built for Military Use/Spec. First 24 I have seen. How long did the restro take? It shows as if you have spent alot of time. Nice Job.
Congrats

Re: Condor 24 Pics
condors are built to order in miami today under amg boats inc. classic Aronow hull design very similar to PANTERA,different deck. my boat was built in 1990,originally a 350/ alpha set up. I bought this boat about 5 years ago in RI for $8700! it needed the interior redone which was the first undertaking,next i sold off all the alpha1 stuff and upgraded to bravo1(got to love Ebay!) of course as the boating disease grows,the 350 was'nt cutting it,i was going to supercharge, but decided to sell that motor and go big block! i got a 502/502 wholesale thru a friend, and put that in with big expectations, but was sort of let down when the boat ran 70mph. discovered the "x" dimension was 3 inches too low,hurting performance,also i was running the wrong thunderbolt 4 ignition module.I started gutting the boat over the winter,but we didnt get any fiberglassing going untill late spring,that project dragged untill june,then the paint process which was ALOT more work than i had anticipated 
in the mean time i decided to upgrade the cam in the motor to better suit this boat,and finally put everything back together which is still work in progress 
hopefully i'll see some good results out of it in the spring. i love the boat now because its different,but that 30y2k still has my attention i see my engine BLOWN, with a nasty paint job in a 30y2k hull ! but then i wake up!!DAMM!
