yup, that's the boat we now own. belee- did you commission dollar offshore or phil to sell the boat for you back in 2003ish? that carpet looked like it saw a few good days on the water by the way it was beaten down the boat has been getting updates for the past 7 years. everything is either new or replaced other than the paint which is next. the lettering and logos were resprayed but the red neads to be done. it now has a pair of 572 cu. in. 5 liter whipple 1050's with konrads. the boat has only seen the water one time for a quick shake down run and we saw 102 mph on gps. it should be ready for the water in another week or two.

Man, I'd seriously LOVE to see some recent pictures of her. I absolutely loved that boat. I was going to sell my 28 and take over the Red boat as my own, repower & refurbish it, and run it another 10 years. In the end I decided to get rid of them both, and get a T/S.

I'm not "exactly" sure how the deal between Phil & Doller was set up, but I'm pretty sure Phil had Doller sell it for him, and it was 03. I only saw it once after that at Shooters one evening. The guy was really nice that owned it then.

Yes, that carpet had definitely seen it's share of feet! I had the boat for almost 10 years, and had SO much fun with her. The boat was really ready for a Winter at the spa, and I was excited to do it. I actually wanted to turn it into a #6 boat, and put some Zul's in her. Those Hawks were the worst part of her, so I couldn't wait to jerk them out & burn them, haha. That particular pad under the carpet was still the softest one I've ever felt compared to any others, even AFTER it was in need of a replacement. My T/S had the pad as well, but wasn't near as soft. I loved the dash & throttles on that boat. Everything about it just fit so well.

I think about that boat literally all the time, and never thought I'd see or hear about it again. I'm so glad to hear it's in great hands. If you have ANY pictures of the progress you've made, could I see them? That would really bring the memories back.





Here's how the carpet got it's "shape". They were always the feet of great looking girls for the most part. The girls always loooved that boat!
