Original name of the boat was Blue Thunder when Ross Perot owned it. Jerry McHutchins changed it to the Wildcatter. The guy I bought it from used to own Palmer power down in houston. He got is from McHutchins estate sale. He took it out a couple times last year. Leon took it out once for another customer before the winterization and said he broke 100.
Leon totally repowered the boat around 200-2001 when the new drives etc. were put in. Supposed to have around 20 or so hours on the drivetrain since the re power. Hour meters show 54 & 55.
Starboard battery shows to have charged last night. Charging port right now. Have to figure out how to get the hatch rams to open so we can get to the Perkos and then it's on.

see if there is an access panel on top of the hatch, under the upholstery if there is any upholstery up there. that way you can open it, and pull the pin for the actuator

We figured out a way to get to the hatch rams on the villian. We ripped out all the upholstery and the back seat see if there is an access panel on top of the hatch, under the upholstery if there is any upholstery up there. that way you can open it, and pull the pin for the actuator

I don't prefer the stutlz method of destroy first and complain later about not having the last $500 to finish the project that would be finished if certain parts wouldn't hace been destroyed to start with.

The motor is running when you hit the switch. It's just not lifting the hatch. I think we can probably persuade it open.
