It was being built to race and has been reinforced every 5 feet through out the hull and looks like a really nice professional Job doing it. The guy told me the bill was 25K for the new transom and reinforcement project. No rigging at all just a bare hull, new transom not one hole cut yet, no seats, no gages, no steering wheel, nada nothing. She's naked but built hell for stout. 1998 model I'm thinking arnesons and quad rotors 1100 ponies and this puppy would fly pretty good. Now you guys talk me out of it...I think it has VV written all over it.



    Thier used to be a Ocean Express on Texoma that was from the OK side and changed hands a few times but ran great and looked great.

    It's in FL, Rigging, The guy even has a set of never used old style arnesons #8's. I think between all of us we can get her done...There is a nice shop in Pottsboro where my Mom lives, has an Excalibur in it. Another shop in Midwest City with a big 41 Apache sitting in it might be willing to help out. Dare Devil just PM'ed me said he would love to get started on it. The guy was going to set it up like a Skater sit down cockpit center console which is what I want so someone can drive while someone else throttles would make it more fun not the 3 seat stand up bolsters you see in most express cats. If feasible some F16 canopies I would also like instead of the race faring. It would be a big project starting with a bare hull for sure. One good thing, at least I would learn a lot and know what I had when it was finished, time and patience mostly patience.
    I can't believe someone asked you what color that carpet was you are selling. HHeee!

    You very funny person,,,I'm going after it in a few days. Not going to get in a rush slow project ahead. Found out it has 4 new aluminum fuel cells in it when the reinforcement was done, I read they have problems like a Skater fiberglass tanks so that's plus. Should we put the steering on the right or left whats the reason behind the left or right?

    OK will do , a few more shots of the inside You can see the reinforcement, looks hell for stout to me and looks like someone did it right. . If you look close you can see one of the Aluminum tanks it has 4 of them. All I can say is we got a lot of work ahead of us but should be fun.
