Not sure yet, probably around 95, just now finishing repower, new exhaust, and outdrives...want to sell it once its completed, but not sure if anyone out there wants a restored 17 year old boat. Father wants a new reliable smaller boat....like that 30 convincor ocean outboard has:drool:
 
Oh no don't get me wrong. 17 years old is not an old boat, it is just that the person who would be interested in this boat, could get a 10 year newer boat that is not in as good of condition but is a more efficient hull with steps,etc, for same price. The boat is not old, but as far as technology goes...a 2000 of the same make and size will run just as fast with less than half hp:shakehead:
 
That is one big red monster. We are going to have to see some rigging shots when you get to that point. OH BABY.:drool:
 
hehe, I can post some pics of inside, engiens,etc if ya want of before and afters. My dad and I have spent over two years redoing this boat (we found it in st.louis after had been sunk and hadnt ran in couple years). 1990 42ft cigarette revolution. We spent a lot more than we ever imagined could, but its worth it not only the time spent wit old man, but feeling you get somehow when seeing the pics of boat before all ragged & rotted, and then after brought back to life makes ya feel good.
