The CGS went fast 15 years ago when it was being raced . Probably hasn't run in 10 years . I looked at putting her back together two different times , IMO it would cost me more to do than it's worth . In the end she's a heavy old race boat with a narrow resale market . The newer 390's and 410's are much lighter and have a more user friendly layout . Who's going the fastest now ? We know the staggard blue 390' is said to run mid to high teens . Any other Velocity's 390 or 410's w/700 or more built since then ?

Wasn't there a 41' with 800's and Konrads built 4-5yrs ago? With a tricked out/luxury interior?

Ya the bird boat I ran it for the Miami show. It ran 96. didnt care for the drives. Then Steve put 525,s in it and it ran in the high 80,s Then it was sold with a paire of 496,s Its now in a repo yard in Tampa

the cgs is still a bad azz boat!! needs the drives gone through. still 100mph boat with the merc 600's. love the paint and history.. needs to see the water again!!

I still think about putting her back together myself , I talked with Kevin back in the fall before I bought the Fountain . By the time I went through the drives 15k, put in motors ? and transmissions 5k , then rigging and labor 10k , it didn't make sence for me . He is still running crash boxes in the boat . Add to that new exhust is 15k , props are 5k . They told me at the factory aprox 10k for new interior and 10k to paint the hull . It starts to add up quick . The used and repo market has to many people willing to take low offers on turn key boats for me to justify taking on a project like that right now . In the end , it's a lot more than a 16 year old race boat is worth in today's market . Still might do it down the road if she's available and the MTI sells :party-smiley-004:
