[Bobcat]

is it the blue cat that was the hooters boat ?

[Magic Medicine]

Nice 38 V, not a fan of graphics 85K

If he wants it to sell, he better remove that FUGLY wrap and take some decent pics. No engine pics, no cabin pics????? I also have to wonder about his underwater lighting install on the transom????

that boat is beautiful under the wrap, sides are dark blue with white deck. it would look so much better without it. I looked at this boat before I bought the Tiger.

I agree..if its the same boat that was pictured in that marina or warehouse..Looked elegant, straight forward....but that wrap needs to go.

[PARADOX]

There were some roomers about this boat, something about issues after a race. Structural repairs etc. I don't want to start anythng, (I don't know the details) but who ever is interested, check the history carfully. Just a heads up.
However, Nortech service is great, so I'm sure they will "help"..

I believe this boat used to be called "stress relief" and was beautiful with the classy dark blue solid hull. I believe the 500's were trimmed in red rather than blue. It was 115K for awhile before it sold. The wrap kills the boat.............

Wrong boat. I do believe this was the STRESS RELIEF 38V.

yep, it was beautiful. used to have a white interior as well. it was set up for doing night dives and such over in the Bahamas. the original owner owned a company that the underwater lighting.

[Perlmudder]

so under the wrap is the paint fine? could you just remove the wrap, buff and wax and be good to go?

[JupiterSunsation]

this was the boat before the wrap attack...... http://www.custommarinesales.com/classifieds/index.php?page=out&id=67

We've got the same lights on the cat - no issues. Just high dollar bulbs....

[RollWithIt]

Wow.. someone should smack the person who put that wrap on that boat....

Not this one. Was mine, nice boat . If the paint is good under the wrap it is very tasteful/simple. The underwater lights were well done engines and rigging were very nice. Boat was never raced, was actually ordered very overbuilt by 1st owner.

Wow! If "Skeletor" from "He-Man" had a boat, I bet it would look just like that! :ack2:

[Tom A.]

If that is Stress Relief, did he also change the dash with the new interior because they look different. looks more like a race boat with the dual helm.

Looks to be updated but the gap between both sets of pics is several years and maybe a couple of owners along the way. The blue transom with underwater lights indicates that the wrap boat and the stress relief boat are one in the same.

Who is to say the 2nd helm is functional, maybe the knucklehead that thought that wrap improved the boat thought a faux 2nd helm would look cool too! :ack2:

Worse yet, the cup holders are gone. I know to some those are essential equipment.

The boat interior updates were done at Nortech in 2007 , the helm is fully functional there is a gate valve under the dash. This time last year the boat was all but a 10. While I do not like the wrap I do know the boat lives close to the factory and was getting serviced there. The owner Bill usually keeps his stuff in good condition.

If you can get the wrap off there is a great looking boat under there, the rigging is quite exceptional in the bilge.
