Yes.....that was a new idea back in the day.
That is why the 39 didn't work that well, it was a stretched 35 and the rocker was never adjusted to compensate....it was a real flying machine.
Jacoby took the 39 mold and blocked it to 37.6 and that worked and has forever lived as the Top Gun.

Really love the look of the old style concave topsides.
I know a convex topside yields much more strength but that slab side with the crease going down the middle never really did it for me. Was there any performance advantage or was it just a keep it trailerable at 8 foot thing.
Thanks for the info Charlie.

We had a chance to check Brian's Cig out yesterday -
SPECTACULAR
Fit and finish is incredible, attention to detail is second to none. Awesome job!
Brian, thanks for showing it to Beth and I Saturday.

congrats..that boat is off the hook. The paint job doesnt get any better..the dash is a work of art..from the throttles to the adjustments on the drives and tabs..nice and easy to work on the engines as well. one heck of a restoration.

F-ing insane.
That greyscale paint job is perfect. I really haven't seen anything like that before. Congrats on that boat.

07-12-2009 10:53 PMBeautiful Old School ride...
The first boat I was on that did 100mph was BAM,a 36 also.
Amazing boats.I almost bought that 33 from the banker that owned it up by the chain.Took it out in very snotty water on Lake Michy and it took a beating.Is the wood dash redone? It had alot of wood...

Ya... the teak was freshened up along with new Livorsi's and a complete interior. It was a blast to own and always got the looks on LOTO
It's back on the 'Chain in fact it's right back to the same address it came from 4 years ago. Look for it and send me pics of it in action.

Here is a photo of the boat in 1980. The boat was called Rated X and had a naked lady on the sides or bow. Owners nickname was Buddy Crisp, he's from NJ but the boat was located in FL. Would love to know more history on the boat.

Nothing like a subtle paint job. That boat is classy, something our community has been missing for a while.

Amen brother! Testify!
Super classy.
This is VERY similar to what I have in mind for my Pantera.
I think alot of the natural lines and design of the boats today are lost by some of the over-the-top paintjobs.
I appreciate what it takes to execute some of those paintjobs, but in the end, they don't enhance the boat. Just an opinion.
This boat was done exactly the way I like to see them."Keep the bottle on the bar Ira, I won't be long".
