Stingray should be gone when I get back on Thursday. Yes, I will at least put a few pics up in couple of days.

I found my next project. I promise to make it detailed and a grand adventure for you guys.
Yes, it's another Four Winns with lots of HP to go around. Maybe Hydrogen with blowers or something. No it does not have King Cobras.

I am excited about it except for the 2400 mile trip to get it............ :(

I guess I will already have 1000 buck into just to get it...... :oops:

It is black, gunmetal gray, and white.

It has two engines of course.

The engines are seized. The outdrives :?: , but they are there.
We will redo the whole interior.
We will be buying it blind from just phone and pics. many pics.

I also just found another one with double cracked blocks, if I look at it, it would be an "also" not an either.
This one is only 2 hours from home, but is another well known go fast brand.

I just really have a taste for putting these great boats back out in the world.

It was really a sad day when on youtube, they parted out that 261 Liberator and sunk it. :cry:

Just got back from picking up my new lathe, plus tons of tooling for it.

Still looking for a mill and shear.

Is it in Wisconsin? Just saw a Liberator the other day sitting on the side of the road with those colors.

Major bummer!!!

The guy found some engines cheap and decided to keep and fix it.
It was another 261 Liberator with twin 350's and Bravo drives.

The inside was a mess, but the outside was great.

I am still in the market..............let me know.

Nice, but too much for that market. 3500 to 3800 to have enough room for outdrive problems that you cannot know going into it with a bad motor. Unless they have a reciept of rebuild from a good shop. If they took out the motor on freeze, it is at risk also, if they blew the motor, it could have shocked the drive...........just sayin.
