Coming together nicely...No one does a restore (or a new boat) Like Philly.
Here's what it looked like new...Though I'd say it'll be better than new now.Making the best in the industry BETTER since 1990...LIP-SHIP Performance: 305-933-9988

The pictures of the original paint don't do it justice. The airbrushed gun on the side was killer. This boat was extra light and ran awesome. When done, it will be one of the nicest straight bottom Top Guns out there. The new owner will have a brand new looking boat for short money.

12-14-2008 09:38 PMDepending on the power, what would the cost of a redo like that be? By the time it was done would you be better of with a little newer TS?

149,000 will be the asking price.... im sure when you see it done you will change your tune...

12-15-2008 11:04 PMYes but this was a special boat to begin with (celebrity owned, F2 layup etc). Of course when I say celebrity I mean PM203 ().
It is going to be a nice piece when finished and if you don't care about being the fastest TG on the water you will have a really nice rig for less than 1/2 of a new one.........

Special? The boat was super light and fast for a straight bottom 500 EFI boat.
Celebrity owned? You know it!

What does it have for motors? In 2000 Merc could not keep up with the demand for 500-EFI's. They offered the 540 500HP Bulldogs at a discount. In 2000 you could buy a staight bottom gun with bulldogs for about $175.
