I have worked on that boat before. I put a partial floor in the boat because of water damage and made those ugly as h#ll seats . The boat had gel coat blisters the size of baseballs in a couple of different spots on the deck. It was rigged with 4 200 merc's and ran in the 70's but would blow the center motors in a few minutes,( No water box ), because it had inconsistent water pressure from the air in the tunnel. This was all about 12 years ago too, time will not have been kind to it sitting outside in the snow. The boat was made for the tv movie called Thunderboat row. It is an express cat made by midnite. If anyone has the tv movie THUNDERBOAT ROW please post it on youtube or oso, I'm sure there are a lot of people including myself who would like to see it again. thanks jay.

Some things are better left alone. That boat is one of them. What a POS.

Bad Boy's 2 filmed in Delray Beach at the "COKE" Estate.
The estate was blown up too.

Good find, but watching a cat that big go that slow is about as much fun as watching paint dry.

Oh how times have changed for the better.
