I wonder if it was a project that never really took off...kinda like mine:)....it runs, but could use a lot of work.:) It would be a lot of time and money......not to mention money:D

[QuickCheetah]

now he just emailed me and said $600...:D

Remove the drake and add a berkeley and be done with it;)

Depends on who and what ya know;)

You could part it out and make money at that price if that includes the trailer...wish it were in TX.

What can you get a used Berk for now these days anyway?? And how much fiberglass work would that put into the project??

Jim Brock has Drake pump parts over at Cyclone marine.
That set up looks pretty cool with the adjustable cave plates in it. Maybe an old circle boat? At any rate, it's well worth 600 bucks. imho. ;)

I like the colors...looks real dull though... how could you fix that?

wet sand and buff......been there done that:D

[Elimin8Jet71]

Wet sanding and buffing a dull hull is pretty easy...I would first start by trying to get a hold of good buffer and some 3M stuff that they call "Finesse It II" and work with that. It did wonders to my 76 Sleekcraft. Save the wet sanding for the really tough spots that the 3M stuff can't work out. Just be careful not to burn the gel coat with too much heat from the buffer.:D

[dumbandyoung]

looks like it would be a cool project..but summer is sooo close:D

You got that right, summer is way to close to start something with that much in need of repair. If you aren't within a few weeks of finishing up your own stuff now. Just hang it up and bumb rides off the rest of us.:) :)
