Recently bought this out of Omaha Nebraska, was advertised on S&F.



The boat is a 1992 and is in great condition, I'd say an 8.5+. The previous owner bought it from the original owner, and the story goes that it was stored in a barn/garage unused for 15+ years. The original interior is almost perfect.





I bought it without power but it does have full gauges and Teleflex Seastar Pro steering . The initial plan it drop on my stock 225 carb for this summer, and then build something more interesting over the winter. It does need some electrical work. More pics to come as thing progress..

Nice!!!! I saw that when it came up...nice boat for the money for sure. I really love the blue...

Very cool Matt.
Was the original rigging for a Merc?
The colour scheme looks like one I remember seeing in a magazine build project back in the early 90's.
Any idea of the weight of the hull?

Congrats Matt. Nice looking boat. Mine is also a '92. That is the first year Wally started building the V21. What is the hull number.

Matt I think you need a bigger garage

Very nice Matt Like that blue too ...

Love these boats! Congratulations. Have fun with her!

Very nice Matt!

I didn't realize you moved west

Sweet ride!

Thanks guys, I'm pretty pumped. I have wanted one of these since I read the Hot Boat test article (1994-1996 ish I think, unfortunately I tossed all of them 10+ years ago). Greg, I think that's what you're thinking of. The test boat was this same colour scheme, with a Mariner 225 Super Mag on it. After seeing a few in person (Wildcat's and a couple in Jasper) I could not say no to this one.

I'm not sure what it weighs, I will try to get it on scale before rigging it. It was rigged for a Merc 260 previously, but I think it's been partially re-rigged a couple times, some questionable electrical stuff going on.

I'll continue to post rigging pics to this thread as I make headway.
