Title: 84 Bahner 20.5 resto
Post by: 81sprint on April 08, 2019, 09:05:41 PM: Picked this up a couple weeks ago, was gonna just throw a motor in and run it but after closer look (and falling thru the floor) decided nope. She’s gonna get a full rebuild. And it has to be up to snuff I don’t roll in junkers!

My buddy has the same exact boat even the year just a different color. We also redid his interior, floors & transom (because water was sleeping through the exhaust tips) a few years back. This boat is one of the best riding, handling and all around jet boats I have ever been in. I’ve been in his boat plenty cause In the early days when my junk was breaking down every trip we would always jump on Mike’s Bahner. I think you and the family are gonna love this boat. Looking forward to the build. I know you it will be first class.

I absolutely love this boat it rides very smooth and handles awesome you won’t be disappointed. It also sits nicely in the water not to high or not to low. Looking forward to seeing your pics

Post by: 81sprint on April 17, 2019, 10:12:41 AM: Thanks guys, i took Capogni’s cruiser for a ride down in Blythe when we were there for brads party and I was impressed with the ride. Plus I like the lines and colors obviously this will take me a while to complete because I think it is a keeper and it will be done right.
