So I BOUGHT this boat last week but picked it up yesterday only because I liked the bottom and after talking to a couple guys on here and was told it is a very fast bottom and turns on a dime. My plan is to drop in my BBC 505ci stoker about 700hp off the bottle the motor is set up for a 300 shot of NOS, so should be about 1000hp give or take some HP. There isn't a speed shop around here that has a dyno "wish there was". I want to set back the pump and install a shoe and adjustable cav plates. Not sure how fast it will run but sure will be fun to build. If any has any guess what it will run please share. "Lifted250 I'm sure I will get a text from you about setting back the pump and yes I'm sure you will do it or help me do it" lol.

Isn't this the one that was posted on CL as stolen?
-
It was NOT stolen I paid for it, again another reason why I DONT buy from CL. As you all know the "Stolen boat" post was removed after a short visit to the guys house from the Covina PD. Anyone that has any question on how it all went down please feel free to send me a PM

I'm the one that posted the link and thought something was fishy.
It was obvious in the pics you took your time to secure the boat before towing. No way a thief does this.
If I knew it was someone here I wouldn't have posted it.
Guess this is why my post disappeared so fast.
Maybe the idiot that sold it was setting up for insurance fraud.
Looking forward to your build! Good looking boat! What hull is it?

It's a 78 Holmes-horizon with a jette bottom. Basically it's half gullwing and half tunnel is how it was described to me. What a trip that in the photos he photo shopped himself out of it. He was on the other end of the strap. Lol

What a pain in the ass!! I figured no one would post a build thread on a stolen boat ;)
Good luck with the build! That's a cool looking hull.

I cracked up when I read this!
Should be a fun ride. The back pic looks like the Rogers TR chines on the outside.

It was very shitty start to a Sunday morning let me tell you..
the back does kinda look like a Rogers TR, i had a 75 rogers TR but the Chines were not so long or deep they only dropped down about 3" this one drops about 7". another guy on here is building one also and he sent me pics of his boat upside down and you can see the bottom really good. i will ad them on here.

Hahahaha no worries. Mines finally right side up again too and ready for gel. I'll be spraying it Wednesday. I'm super excited to wrap it up since it's such a unique hull.
