Oh if that boat could talk. Several old salty dogs of the sport have worked on that boat.

Looks like nothing was done to it since it left the powerquest building. That's just what it looked like. In fact the first few pics look they are from when it was still parked in the SE corner of the PQ building.

Build quality and deadrise if I had to guess. I believe they are 26degree deadrise. That equals a smooth ride.

Quality, heritage, looks, ride, customer service, lines, no b.s.

I think that covers it.

Btw, I would love to own that boat

The current owner also won the bid for the motors that fred at trick had built in the first auction. That poor boat has been around the block many times on a trailer. was a triple boat (if I remember right ) when built. use to sit at American offshore in Lauderdale. Also, no ballast tanks that I remember just 4 saddle tanks in bilge, no tank under cockpit floor( replaced part of floor by cabin entry)
