Very nice project boat. So what are you going to do with her? That splash guard has got to go and you have to move the forward and reverse to the floor (it makes it easier to get in and out of the boat)
The colors look very nice. I have always loved orange on boats. All white interior. Man I am jealous. Very nice find.

What am I going to do with her? Hell, The motor is a Ford, not to happy about that. I have a blown 468 in the garage I would love to drop in, BUT the wife wants that motor sold so I need to work on that. Other than power I am striping the boat and it is going in to the gel shop for straight white gel. Mabey I will leave it all white and name the boat colecaine or have the orange and yellows painted back on, I realy like the orange. Build new seats, new carpet and rebuild the pump while it is getting the gel done. New gauges and steering. By then summer should be back and run the hell out of it. Mabey try and hit some of the classic boat get togethers.

Sounds like a plan. Since you are re-gelling it you might as well fill the gas fills and make it smooth. Trust me they get in the way. I always wanted to do that to my old one.
Can not wait to see her finished. keep us updated. And ColeCaine would be a pretty cool name.

You could always sell the Ford, then put the Chevy in its place, everybody wins. :cool: You ever have any luck with the boat, in your avatar, locating it?

I thought of that, but the Ford is not worth what the blower motor is. My wife wants a new house. When I bought the Cole my wife was so pissed, she will get over it. I have looked everywhere for that Dimarco and have had no luck. Mabey someday someone or something will help with me finding it.

Well this looks like a good hull for a temp. replacement. If you need any help on set up, Jim Lange at Hi-Tech marine in Simi knows alot about those hulls.

No, it wouldn't be, but may get enough for it to damn near cover the cost of the Cole. :D That would be a little something anyway, LOL...
As for the Dimarco, didn't you mention at one time about it bein in Texas somewhere?

Yea, the boat was sold to a guy in Texas. I got ahold of him and he sold the boat awhile ago and has no clue where it is now.

About 12 years ago. For some reason I cannot find any other pics of this boat. My dad had a bunch of pics, but they all disapeared. I have only found one Dimarco t-deck jet and it was on E-bay months ago, it was painted orange with skulls on the bow. They are extremely rare , I would like to know how many t-deck jets Dimarco built. If anyone has that info that would be cool.

There's a website, www.texas***boats.com, go to the forums. You may post what pics & info on the boat that you do have over there, something may turn up.... :rollside:
