Help me with history of my boat
 

can anyone help me with some history of my boat; if it originally had twins on it or of it was a single, engines , ect......
It was painted like freeze frame and was named ludicrous speed. The boat was originally red with a grey deck and red and black pitchfork stripes onthe bow. It now has twin merc 2.4's with a bracket, dosent look like it ever had a engine mounted in the transom unless someone put a new transon on the boat. Has a nice big roomy rear hatch. Its a 1983 and the previous owner is Brett Almes from Islip NY
here are some pics
thanks

Hey Dave,

I told you Bash would know something about it. He is the SB history expert. What about the pics? I guess I will be seeing it up close this summer.

I think that's 4 SBs in MD. that I know of, including the 30 going to OC.

If it has a rear hatch, it was probably an I/O originally???

She looks like an I/O hull to me.
I like the wood cabin doors... :cool:
Good luck with her!

Re: Help me with history of my boat
 

Nice looking....A lot of potential Have fun with her. An I/O hull to me..

Re: Help me with history of my boat
 

dont think it is an i/o hull because the back hatch is half the size of an i/o hatch. The hatch from the back seat it about 2 feet deep; opened it is clear all the way to the transom.

Re: Help me with history of my boat
 

OK, maybe not...
But the O/B hull normally has a motor well...
I'm sure the Jim H., Superbash, or FX10 will have more info for you... :drink:

engines run good, paint was shot from sitting in the water. whoever wired the batt;s to the engine should be shot! Two batt's with one switch, but then they run one 4 gage cable and split it before it goes into the engines. I wonder could that be my slow cranking problem? LOL
hope to have it back from the paintshop soon

If you do that, Dave and I will need superchargers to keep up... :eek:

Re: Help me with history of my boat
 

Good news/Bad news!
I spoke to to the paintshop today and the boat will not bedone for another week (bummer) When they stripped down the old paint they found some stress cracks and they are repairing them (no extra charge :rolleyes: ) I also spoke to them about glassing in some gussets for the transom and they had told me that the boat already had two of them glassed in.
So the question of the day is did superboat do this or was the boat originally a stern drive and was converted and when they did the conversion the glassed them in? From most of the rigging it seems the boat had twins its whole life.
If anybody in the MD area need paintwork of fiberglass work done i highly recomend A&M marine. They have done nothing but good things for me and they dont charge an arm and a leg.
