I JUST PICKED UP A KEVLAR 1993 STV EURO. IT'S ROUGH, BUT I PLAN ON WETSANDING AND BUFFING. IT CAME WITH A 260 OFFSHORE MID, STOCK LOWERUNIT WITH A BOB'S ON IT, AND A 260 COWL, NO POWERHEAD. I PLAN ON GETTING A 200 2.5 FOR THE TIME BEING. I WAS WONDERING WHAT I MIGHT EXPECT MPH WISE? I WILL BE POSTING AS it PROGRESSES

Looking good , you will be very happy with that boat . Be sure to seal the bulkheads where drain holes are drilled , they are sealed like crap originally . Use some epoxy thinned with a few applications to help it wick into the wood . Happy boating !

you should see 90 no proplem with a 28. you'll love it.

I was wondering how much lighter the Kevlar boats were compared to the regular layup? Also have been hearing about a low speed spray? And last, I know this is by no means a offshore boat, but how do you guys think it will run in a light Biscayne bay chop? Thanks for all the info so far.

subscribing, love these fixer upper posts. Not too often you see a Euro neglected like that. Can't wait to see the finished product

What are you using for buffing compound? Looks great!

My back is still somewhat destroyed from that !!!!!!! Euro's dont like big chop or swells thats for sure !! Great high speed Station Wagon's though !!

**euro scott** · 05-12-2010, 05:43 PM

Great find ! I got 93 out of mine with a mostly stock 200.
As far as ride, they have about a 1 ft limit, any more than that in my expierience has the potential for devastating results.. Yes they have a sneeze at lower speeds, just don't go slow !!

That looks like Rusty Campbell's old boat that Roark built for him. I have pics of it when I went to pick up my new 93 eruo it was in Roark shop and when I went to Augusta races I used to keep my boat at Rusty's house along side of it.
