    Thx, TO15. When it was first rigged w/twins, there was always someone at the ramp who would tell me, "you're out of your mind!!" That was over 20 yrs ago. But back then outboards didn't make the power they do today. To me, it was the obvious way to go, I wanted to haul ass. It runs somewhere in the 90's. I never cared to chase after every mph. It always has been a ball to drive and have fun with. Yes the garage is rather roomy. chris

    the last two night i got the tank coated, trimmed all my edges, and cut all my drains and plugged then up with pvc pipe. ran home from work tonight and heres what i have gotten done so far

    Fast mock up of the floor







    i still have to do a little grinding and sanding on the tops of the stringers/ supports to get the deck to sit nice and level and where i want it. its pretty close now but its not perfect so after a little playing i should be happy with it.


    ChrisM is putting bad ideas in my head, i might need to find myself another 225 3.0 to put on the back if i had the money right now to deal with the fuel cost and maintainance on two motors i would seriously consider it, that thing looks awesome even sitting still. that garage would be nice to work in, beats my $150 carport anyday.

    Berzerko: Feel free to post pics if you have them i like looking at other peoples layouts and setups. i have seen you boat in pictures on here before when i was looking at other possible paint schemes, that looks like it is a real nice rig. Time to find yourself another and make it just as nice! I still love the windshield and still kind of want to do a windshield but both the cockpit cover and the full cover will have to be modified or remade to fit and the cost of the windshield and the aggravation involved is making me stick with the bar. I do like the bar it has that original challenger look but the windshield would be my choice if i had one

    Wind flaps can be made very inexpensively. Made mine for about $30. Nice thing is when you need some air you just pull them down. Do a great job of directing wind right over your head. I just pull them down and put my full cover on. No need to alter anything.

    I could never afford to do twins now anyway i am just pipe dreaming lol. my expensive private college education puts a damper on alot things right now. at 26k a year i could have bought a nice 28 skater by the time i graduate. education has to come first though then playtime after

    a real nice gentlemen owned the boat and he had become very ill with brain cancer and he brought the boat to my boss to try to sell it for him and i jumped on it within a few days. i had figured it needed a transom and knew it needed paint and a refit but everything ended up being wet so i ended up gutting it all. i had really wanted a pre 83 original condition shadow but they were a little out of my price range and would still probably end up needing work so it made more sense to buy one a little more beat up and start fresh. now i know i have what will be a basically brand new boat when i am done. i also really liked the full transom

    im not sure of anyone selling anything right now but if your keep your eyes open im sure one will pop up somewhere
