IMG_0193.jpg IMG_0189.jpg IMG_0069.jpg IMG_0188.jpg IMG_0188.jpg I purchased this RC beginning of season boat was in decent shape trailer was rough so I just did service Added Gatling stainless Exaust mufflers
new engine cover prop and played with her all summer in Arrowhead great boat works well for what we want family Ski Boat bought a Ellis Triple axle trailer off RDP member took it to Extreme for a re do wheels bearings Ect came out nice image.jpg we pulled her off the lake month ago and went to GT performance for check up service Ect then to Pats fiberglass for some Love it came with the Old School Aluminum rub rail Blue with the rubber insert well it's rough in arrowhead so every time you rubbed the dock it would pull out ! PITA ! So that's gone pats is filling holes and rub marks re spray and install new stainless rail ( I know Capp it ) well that would be great but we ski this boat 4-5 times a week and she does hit the Dock ( not my fault ) lol so she is getting stainless pats will color sand and buff. Interior was really rough and I hated back seat and engine cover so we gutted it and re doing all wood,seats,engine hatch, and new carpet filling hinge holes from old hatch and installing the spring hood style hinges ( thank you Matt) so here are a few pics of before and progress image.jpg image.jpg

Make Matt an offer on his, it's almost done!

We're heading into winter, he'll think of something else and "hey, I should do this since it's winter" :roll eyes and tear it down again. "Should have it back together by 4th of July" LOL! ;) All kidding aside what a work of art! Would love to won that boat.

No doubt! Although, the trophy truck is alive. If you think the boat is bad ass, you should the the trophy truck.

Total thread jack! Sorry Gravels. Big group going to Stoddard Wells for New Years Eve. I'll be in Arrowhead over the weekend. I'll stop by Matt's if he is home and check out the boat and let him know about the trip. Maybe ya'all can make it?

Boat looks really good! What place in Riverside did you use for the interior? I don't see it from the name you posted. Thanks.

Was this boat ever named Goosebumps? The old trailer and the colors make me think it might be. If it was it's the last 21' boat to start the same time as the big boats at the Catalina Ski Race and win.

It was the Beebe family that owned it. Prior to them I "think" it was one of the "Cask n Cleaver" boats and was owned by Paul Spencer who built Rdp'er SoCalZero's Schiada. Could be wrong on that part, but it was the Beebe's boat. Either way, boat looks good and look forward to seeing it on Arrowhead this summer.
