PICS ???? and the one with the waleshark also !!!!!!:)

[LAriverratt]

don't think I can post pics...will try. Whale shark pics for a friends friend of a rig off the coast here in LA near lake Charles...that's the story anyway...one of the guys in the boat go in the water with the wale...awesome pics. I'll see if I can find the rest of them.

[LAriverratt]

its an 87 kevlar. The nada sucks on it but it is a kevlar hull so I don't know how much that increases the value??? it also has a drive issue that needs to be addressed.http://www.powerboatlistings.com/view/7645

Being Kevlar doesn't increase the value.

If it's COMPLETELY original, as in having a black dash, Stuart Warner gauges, the old school bolsters, horseshoe shaped cabin, no notch in the transom, TRS drives, AND it has some mechanical problems......I'd say $50k, MAX.

now that you brought up the dash and horseshoe seating I'll have to check it out a little better...its been sitting for a little while too but has been covered under a boat slip, will give it a real good looking over soon. info much appreciated!!:cheers2: will drop back in with info after inspection. thanks again guys:)

[OldSchool]

All of the kevlar boats came from the factory with #3 drives is what I was told. Mine had #3's and 572 Hawks in it.

Thanks guys! Darren, your Gun is incredible. What's really cool about it is you just can't get one like that anymore! Frank @ Scorpion sure did a great job on your motors. :cheers2:

Dash, swim step, graphics, stereo, lights, camera, little nick-nacks.

It counts, It looks great. I like the underwater lights.

Title says updated guns not frame off guns. Some people just dont know when to quit.

[dnebo]

How about another before and during the project.
The dash is painted pearl white, you can just make it out. In the sun it realy pops.

[dnebo]

Last three, its been a slow day.

[Zero Patience]

Continously updated 93. Wow all of you have beautiful Cigs. Congratulations. I know how hard it is to keep them nice. Dnebo, do you like the windshied? I am thinking about building one.

I could not belive the difference like night and day. I would not have a TG without one. It is just enfough to knock down the heavy wind.

That's one thing that I need to do to my boat

I have done a lot of updates to my boat but the wind screen has to be one of the most appreciated.

[dnebo]

How about this one. Unbelievable!!
Somebody hase to have more pictures then whats in the classifieds.
I am not so sure about the bolster bases.

That f*cker is tight!! Love the rear seat/bolsters.

Motors look awesome! Do you run the GM cranks??

[GENERAL LEE]

That's one thing that I need to do to my boat

You'll wonder how you went this long without it. HUGE difference from the flaps, even though I love the look of the flaps. :cool:

[dnebo]

That f*cker is tight!! Love the rear seat/bolsters.

And as small as that center seat is there should always be a spot for some nice eye candy.

[Biggus]

Motors look awesome! Do you run the GM cranks??

Thanks Joe! :sifone: Yup, still running the GM steel cranks. No issues.

I know. There have been a dozen people in the last 10 years that were planning on making the brackets and everyone was going to buy one. It always seemed to fizzle out! I have a hard time paying $1500 for 125 dollars worth of materials. It would be a big upgrade to my boat because, for some reason, there are no footrests on the cockpit floor. My wife has to look around the wind flaps to see where we are going!

[OldSchool]

One more thing. Thanks for starting the thread Frank! There are some fine azz Top Guns in this thread!!:cheers2:

I think that the upgrade that was done to my boat that upgrades it the most is the 2002 raised engine hatch. Gives it a "newer" look.

[redhotsommer]

In that first pic...firstly, I'd like to comment on the lovely contrasting beauty of the red faring (VERY tasteful, that red)...and also on the major hotness of the chick on board...

[OBNOXUS]
