Still interested. What happened to the 468 to go with and whats involved with THAT engine.......
Price/cost to me to get it all to Ohio is minimal. Got Storage lined up, and a place/help to build it (it WILL come completely apart). Since my Mom will now Summer Only back there, might make some sense to build one I can use to hang with RiverRoy and the boyz and show the East Coast once in a while how we roll on the West Coast with these things!
Was thinking to just drag Pickle back there and store it for that very purpose, since pops died and all this came about, but I don't think Pickle has anywhere near the value that it has here being completely original. Also understand that Mom is the only one of my East Coast relatives who did not bat an eye and jumped right in Moo, and then refused to give up her seat for anyone else to get a ride. Pops wouldn't even get in it once he heard it fire up! She's a little jet boat nut now! Gotta love the old broad!
Soo now I'm thinking sell Pickle, build that one (which needs a TON of work, much hidden I'm quite sure, no original engine hatch and don't even get me started on the Messican Honda Seats) or another I find back there. I got time. Sent one offer and stand behind that. Good thing, for you, is I like my Sleeks and I don't have a 19 footer!
Not slamming your ride, but theres a large 4 digit bill involved building a proper interior for that, and cant tell without a hammer and a drill where the 1/4 stringers are in condition. Originality has no real function in it as far as I can tell in that market.

PS: If RiverRoy had brain cell one left, he'd abandon his Baja project and be ALLL over this! This is a PHX built boat, and probably one of the most versatile and fun hull designs out there!
Just kidding Roy! You're doing fine with the Baja!
