1988 Bullet
Picked up a new project over the weekend,
She needs some luvin...was a pre project that he got tired of?
Been in storage 2 yrs, pretty much stripped and cobbled. Cabin has new cushions is all, rest stripped, sides,carpet even toilet seat. Cockpit bare besides. Large bolsters in need of repair, back seat mold only not attached, sun pad board only, but do have some foam pieces and covers for patterns.
Was told when got boat had blower motors, imco drives n props. Now a 330 on starbord, mag port set in. Drives, Bravo 1's no props.
He sold engine's,drives and props, put in what had laying around.
Positives, good bones, stringers,transom,gimbles newer, upgraded gauges and controls, k plane pumps work, drive pumps work.Oh and a sweet Cigarette aluminum trim axle trailer. But wasn't set up for boat, way far back on trailer, had zero tongue weight. Was a sketchy ride home, lucky was only 2 hrs away. Figured out quickly, max speed was 50-55.
Going to gut the boat and start from scratch hull up. As to power going to upgrade mag, I have another mag to install, rebuild the B1's.
Pretty good at fiberglass, mechanical and wiring. Guess going to need sewing classes NOT. Lol
Have always wanted a Bullet, love the old school lines..Boat on Lake Erie, so will see what the wave crusher will do on the fresh water close wave caps.
Hopefully in a couple yrs.

Best of luck with your Bullet! They handle the rough stuff better than most in their class...I also have an 88' Bullet. I just posted some pics in the "Let's see em" thread above if you want some ideas. Please post pics of your Bullet and keep us up to date on the progress of your resto, These boats are getting harder to find so its nice knowing where to find one.

Good luck with the rebuild! Will be an awesome boat when done.
Have been working on ours for a while now (before I owned it and into now). Almost there but still a ways to go! Paint will be the biggest expense.
Anyone want to buy a Formula 311? I need some Cigarette money.
