Here are a few pictures. The first is a before picture from a couple of years ago. One of the pictures shows some of the work I am doing to the cabin. Today I started the engine compartment rewire and paint. I'll post some of the finish compartment when I am done. I might start a new thread for that.

thanks,
Mike

Wow! What a score!
If Bodine couldn't get 12-5 for it 3 yrs ago, I can't imagine the bargain you got TX Mike. Congrats!

Thanks,
you would not believe the deal. I traded a 15ft custom cat with a 50hp Johnson for it.

nice find, now thats the perfect diesel candidate, i would be curious to know the performance numbers with the 330hp 454ci and the weight of that battleship.

Yes, so will I. I just hope it's not that bad. LOL The guy I got the boat from said he ran 40 miles out and back on about $60 of fuel when it was just under $2.00 a gallon. He said he ran it at about 2500 to 3000 rmps. That's about 2.6 miles to a gallon. I hope to find out soon what it will do.

THAT AINT TO HORRIBLY BAD FOR A BOAT THAT HEAVY... I THINK THE IMPORTANT ? IS WHAT KIND OF LOAD DID HE HAVE... KEEP US POSTED...

True but that is going by what he said. I'll find out when I'll find out for sure when I get it out on the water.
