    Very nice. Can't think of a better use for that hull.
    I would like to find a nice clean DCB F29 and build a little larger one, maybe with twin #6 Speedmaster blenders.

    I think you secretly love DCB's but you just don't want to come out and say it

    You have no idea how bad I want one Vic.
    Cut the deck off,, plywood the hull, little astro turf, hand rails with some nylon screening and a coupe swing gates, overhead awning, wrap around seating with center steer. Be baddass
    Then take the original deck and make a kick ass bar.

    Now this is a build thread that would be right at home in the sandbox. That is a great job with the boat and I'm keeping it in the back of my mind in case I ever find one that I don't think is worth saving. Of course here in the Midwest, any V-drive is worth saving. There just aren't enough of them.

    LOL Nope that one is rigged just like they used to race it in ERR what more could it possibly need to be a SE boat? Of course if it turns out to be dangerous in the way it handles I will turn it into either a lake/riveer boat or a bar.

    Actually Bob the hull is perfect for a bar because the deck is mostly flat and it has a perfect raised 'bar' rail all the way around it.... so when I slide a sudsy ice cold mug across it to my fine beer guzzling friends it doenst hit the ground before they catch it!

    Also the top surface along the sides are pretty flat too, enough to set a drink on while youre standing aside it shooting the shit.

    I think a blender is also in this bars future.....
