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.

Well, I have decided to put my 390 out on my web site again this summer as I am going to be busy building a house for my son and see very little time to use it. Check it out at www.UpperChesapeakeYachtSales.com if you have interest in a clean 39. Thanks

A 390 is on my shortlist for sure. I really like the one at duckys but it has to be one of the most over priced boats in the country. If they would drop it about 100k I'd be there. The one with the flames is a little wild for my taste. Guess I need to go check out the one boatstogo has listed, but it's gonna need motor upgrades.
