If you?ve ever dreamed of owning a piece of boating history, this is your chance.

? Foam-filled hull: 4 lb. foam throughout for durability and flotation, inspired by Boston Whaler's strong unsinkable design
? Fresh gelcoat: Top and bottom hull stripped and resprayed with gelcoat ? including the metalflake ? no paint, just a deep, brilliant gelcoat finish throughout
🛠 Interior & Features

💬 Why am I selling?
This boat has been a passion project ? a labor of love. I?ve always wanted to bring one of these legendary 70s speedboats back to life, and now it?s better than ever. But after taking it out on the water, I learned something important: my wife was terrified. So, as much as it breaks my heart, it?s time to let someone else enjoy this beautiful machine.
I WILL NOY RESPOND TO IS THIS STILL AVAILABLE! IF IT IS POSTED IT IS AVAILABLE.
