that 41' was Steve's boat originally wasn't it? Saw it for sale about 2 years ago? Looked a little ruff.

No it wasnt Steve's original boat. This was built for a guy in Fl in 1991 with the BIG FORD power and #3's. The boat is a little rough but give me some time and it will have a new identity. It was also the featured article in Powerboat magazine in April of 1991 and retailed for $291,000.

Thank you guys for all of your support on this one. Like I said before it needs a little TLC, so with some time I will have it the way I want. Bill mayby we will talk. I have a guy coming to possible DRY ICE BLAST the paint off. He said it will take the paint off to the gel coat without damage to the gel. Then I will wet sand and buff the gel back to new. If it comes out pretty good I"ll leave it white for awhile. BOB. :cool:

Bob Powell. Congradulations on the sale. I recently bought an outboard powered 26' myself. Someone had mentioned that there was a Powerboats Test article on the boat back many years ago but I have been unable to locate a copy of the article. Do you have an info on the article? Todd
