Yep they did an OUTSTANDING job on it too! Must be on his way to my place to drop it off. 😁

There is a build thread on it somewhere around here. IIRC its @steveo 's old boat, used to be green and white.

Came out really nice, good to see it's on the water, or closer to it anyway.

There’s a gorgeous one down here in Yuma that I haven’t seen before, blue and white and has some sort of whippled BBC in it, he’s down the street from me in hidden shores but hasn’t been around when I’ve gone by to talk to him

Jimmy Louis rebuilt the engine. It had very little time on it since I rebuilt it, but Steve was hard on stuff, and probably had it tuned wrong (he set it up on E85 and tuned it himself), apparently got a couple of pistons.

I saw the boat running on the water, sounded great.

Barry any pictures??? Would love to see it up and running! They did an outstanding job redoing it. Steve would be proud.

Here is the build thread I couldn't locate earlier.

Amazing job keeping the boat period correct with updated power train. Great job!

We have had a few growing pains since first getting it back in the water last fall. Jody and team at Conquest re gelled hull, my dad re rigged it all and renovated the trailer. As Obnoxious said, Jim Louis freshened up the motor and Carson built the new turbo system.

Starting to have some fun now!

Bert's boats were always some of my favorites as a kid growing up in Arrowhead. All his stuff was always first class. Loved the 22' Schiada in the background of the picture I attached (not a great pic), and then the 24' Spectra that matched it afterwards. And of course the Yellow 32' Sprectra that another RDP member now owns if I remember correctly. I was told a couple months ago this boat sold and he was on to the next project. Glad to see you still have it. Bert does everything first class.

Skifaster I’ll be sure to let dad know of your nice complement and respect for his taste and craftsmanship. I couldn’t agree more!
