Hey guys, I am new to this thread but not OSO. I just picked up a banana from boston that was totally refurbished without power. The guy put a new transom in, fiberglassed over all the portholes, hatches, docking lights ect. I am going to rig her and power her this winter, I will send pics of the progress.
Tall windshield?
Very high x-dimension?

Nah, it used to be blue and white, short windshield, and the transom was redone and the x-dimension was raised for a bravo drive. The only history of the boat that I know of is from the old pics the previous owner gave me. Here are some of the new pics, I am about to rig her with power, gauges, steering, throttles, etc.

Good luck with the project.
You should change the name from "son of a gun" to "cousin of a gun".

I have a relatively new mercruiser 454 crate motor. I also have stainless marine exhaust and a few other du-hickies to spice up the motor a bit. I have never fully rigged a boat before so I am learning as I go. Thanks for the compliments

I don't know what I am going to do about the name. I like it, but a "son of a gun" is actually the model name for a 21' cigarette, and the 24' cigarette firefox is closer to the banana hull if I am not mistaken. Oh well, the name is the least of my worries right now, i have a pile of work ahead of me.
