No i do not own the boat and if fact the old Cat Nip that i will be working on is a customers boat that is in Grand Haven Mich which is an old Eliminator that had a number # 3 speedmaster on it and when the team purchased a #32 skater the name of the boat was called Eastern Express .

05-24-2010 04:29 PMi wonder what the top speed of the factory boat was with the factory set -up 200 2.4's

They were'nt 200's they were 225's..... and the factory plug with a wooden deck and a heavy layup (4400 lbs)ran about 72 mph with twins and a medium fuel load with 2 people. The amazing thing about that hull was that no matter how many people we put in it...up to about 10...the speed loss was only about 3-4 mph. Later with a stock customer boat we saw over 75 mph with the same power.
My race hull with a pair of T4's (about 375 hp each) ran 92-95 with cut down 1982 era Mercruiser SSM cleavers in race trim with light fuel.

Here is the "Special Edition/ Cayo Hueso Express" as she sits today in Big Coppitt, still no cover since 2005. She is tilted back to get the water out. There was no one home, and someone mentioned it and the Scarab Sport(very rough) next to it were for sale.

Oh man Bobcat...that looks rough. I wonder if it would even be worth it to get it back together.

The trailer still looks the same as it did 4 years ago when I worked on the house. I imagine the inside of the boat is soggy.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel this urgency to go out and buy a tarp and offer to cover it up?....and I'm not even joking! It's as if throwing a cover on it now will all of a sudden reverse the effects of the past 10 years of sitting outside (or for however long it has been). Everyone once in a while I drive by an old checkmate that still looks in pretty decent shape here in town. The boat has been sitting for years and has never had a cover on it. I'm sure its in worse then it looks from the road, but I still want to knock on the homeowner's door and ask if I can cover it up!

Kind of like seeing an old classic car in someone's yard that they won't sell it because "They are going to restore it themselves" and every year it gets a little bit worse.
