OK, so it is an "old style" 21, but its still a pretty good deal for the money when you consider the 2 jets that are this same style hull in So Cal right now are going for about twice as much.;)
Danny,
Is there anyone over there who drag races cars with blown gas setups? It would seem to me that they would be your best resource to help set up the engine on this deal and get you running well as far as fuel, timing, and other tuning issues that you are having.
The Right Stuff gasket maker works awesome for the timing cover, seals, and the "dabs in the corners". Much better than the normal Permatex type material.
It is very period correct and untampered with as evidenced by the mags on the trailer and the old style scoop. I'm no Ford guy, but aren't those 427s from that era also supposed to be worth some good coin?
I'd really like to get it, but I have no time for a project right now, so I am passing...
Since they were called "Catalinas" it seems they were probably intended for, and that someone might have actually used at least one of them to do some Catalina runs/races. Cool piece of additional history twocents.:thumbsup
The one I saw years ago was the same color as the one Crazyhippy posted. That must have been one of the popular gel colors they laid them up with, or that is the same boat that now has a windshield.
I saw a Catalina once in person that was running no windshield. I never could figure out why it had the weird step down the side until I saw Earl's and John's photos.:kewl They look much nicer with the windshield. I really like Earls frameless smoke lexan shield, it gives the boat a really clean...
We had State Farm previously, and it seemed like everytime some lowlife had a fake claim, they were ponying up with a blank check for these people. Finally they dropped us for their lack of initiative in investigating the legitimacy of claims. That left us looking for a new provider, so we went...
Here are 2 others that are listed at about $20K less than Skia36's beautiful ride.

Not mine, but a real nice deal seen on CL for some RDP member who wants to get into a v-drive cruiser at a jet boat price.
