Yes, picked it up from NYL about 2 years ago now. Been working on it in my limited free time. There was a ton of mechanical / maintenance needed when I had it brought up from FLL which was done right away and she is running well now. I had to have the tanks pulled and the drives gone through after the standard maintenance and little replacement items from sitting. I took it from there and had to do a complete rebuild of the steering system and then trouble shoot more miles of wiring from the previous owner than I care to remember. It made it a lot easier since I cut out the entire cockpit moved a few things around, and basically started over there. The previous owner had removed the middle seat from the 3 across set-up and I finished the job and put 2 fiberglass race buckets on pedestals up front and 3 of them across the back to maintain the sit down race style of the boat. Long story short, she is running strong and it no longer looks like a 70's bass boat puked out the interior.
Need to figure out a prop solution as I can't seem to get the right set on there. The race props that were on there when I got it were very thinned out and trashed/cracked so right now it just has some standard bravos on her. It needs a good wet sanding and then buffed back to a good shine as well as a few little pieces finished on the stereos, cameras, and little things I have added. Still a blast to drive and the boat is a solid machine now that it is cleaned back up. Express did a great job on the rigging and those engines. Couldn't be happier with it, just hasn't come together nearly as fast as I would have liked and I just can't seem to get enough time on the water.
