The boat belonged to a good friend of mine, I can tell you what ever you would like to know about that boat. If you want more info on the boat just let me know.
He purchased the boat in the Jan of 08 and stripped it down and painted the black base him self. He then had a local air brush artist, Graffix by Juice, who use to paint all the Big Dog Motorcycles do the graffix (great air brush artist and his part of the job was flawless). He then Cleared it him self.
The base and clear made the paint job a 10 footer, when you got up close you could see how ruff the base and clear was. That would be my guess as to why the graffix are gone. The probably had to sand it down to smooth out the base and then reclear it.
He did have the interior redone, it was very nicely done, however the red would get hot as hell and the brushed aluminum (silver) stained very easily!
Also 1 drive was replaced right before he traded it in as he hit a stump doin about 5 mph and grenaded the gears. The tie bar also had to be straightened back out.
Basicaly he sold the boat because everything motor wise was falling apart on him. He replaced intake mani's exahust mani's, cam and lifters in one motor, of which he had water in the oil, he had to rewire a bunch of stuff. It was a mess to say the least and he was sick of fixing stuff insted of boating...

Not a problem, now let me tell you what didn't make sense to any of us at the lake. He went thru all the effort of fixing everything (accept the water in the oil, we figured it was a head gasket however so it might have got fixed when he swapped the cam, but i am not positive one way or the other) and then traded it in on a Donzi that was used...
Now I am not sure I would have gone through all the effort of painting, redoing upholstery and all the engine work he completed to just go trade it in for basically what he bought it for in the first place! I just can't see taking that kind of loss!!! But to each their own I guess.

Now, do you have more pics of that thing in the water.
I LOVE the way that looked with the flames.

It's really not that big of a suprise. You got a boat that you fix everything, pour money into and sh!t just keeps breaking. You get tired of fixing it. Get it up to par and sell or trade in for something you think will be less maintinance.

With a little TLC and fixing what was left to be fixed, it's pretty nice now
The "ENTIRE" boat was repainted by Mitcher T in MI, we did not wet sand and buff. It's like a mirror and also running good.
