If someone is looking at this and liking it, but concerned with the jacuzzi pump being a dog, I assure you it is not. I've got 2 people who have been in the boat before I removed my motor and they will both attest that it accelerated like no boat tehy have ever been in.

If I need to put my motor back in it to give some test rides to a potential buyer I will consider it.

Sorry, dont need any dirtbikes.

The sanger gunwhales have a dip in them like a lot of other boats. The Rogers, Brendella/Centurion/Hondos don't. Otherwise they look very similar.

Crappy pic, but this is a shot I took of the alternator mount. There is a spot to mount your MSD ignition on the plate as well, or if you want I can cut that part off. Mount will be polished for new owner. Wiring is super clean on this boat. All new. Runs from the terminal block down through a 1 inch grommet in the rail, back a few feet then back up through the rail. Wiring then runs along the bell housing. End result is a spotless wiring job that is hardly seen. Brand new Optima red top goes with the boat.

Thanks Jim,

a little story: When I bought the hull I had no idea what it was, if it had any performance potential or not. I knew nothing about boats. Turns out I got pretty lucky. Jack had a boat in his shop while I was entertaining whether or not to keep the jacuzzi or go berk. The boat looked really similar with exception of the t-deck. Turned out to be a Hondo Pantera and thats when Jack & I realized that my Brendella was a copy of the Pantera. Given the relationships between Brendella & Hondo it seemed fitting that Brendella would copy the Hondo's. Jack went on to say that the hull in his shop used to have a delta pad and that once it was removed the hull was in the 80's with less than 600 hp. This boat also had the Cav plate hardware which was beautiful. This hull has the recesses in the bottom for the cav plates too.

From there my horsepower dreams got out of hand. I went from wanting 600 hp to 700 to 800 and ended up with a bit more. This boat handled it masterfully. If I didn't have a 2 year old Id still be runing this thing. The hull is solid, no cracks, 1 inch full length stringers. Flat out screams in the chop.

After reading this I tried to find information about delta pad design but could not come up with much information or pics to help explain.  So in order to remove a delta pad was it necessary to reshape the bottom of the hull or was it something that could be easily removed?

Up until this point I have not heard about a delta pad, and don't understand what you are talking about.

Thanks.

A delta pad is a flat triangular pad in front of the pump intake. Its considered by those who know this hull that the boat runs better without it. Jeff Bennett reshaped the bottom to eliminate the delta pad. Ill dig up some pix of the bottom.
