Vegas is Vegas Rob. Just busy as hell gotta stop and think sometimes if I ever sleep. We always have something going on at the casino. I'm getting married in April so extra busy getting stuff in line for that. I am going to try to make Red Bluff with the boat this year and maybe a couple others. Take care. Ryan

I hope to see ya in R.B., still not sure I'll make it but I already got the time off:cool: :beer

Here are a couple of pics of my Sanger Ski Hydro I restored. I sold it three years ago. To reduplicate the original look I took a lot of picks and measurements before the repaint. I did changed the shades slightly but stuck with the brown, orange & gold. I hope to build another one someday. It was never built as a hard core race boat like the rest on here. But I did get 111MPH GPS and 106 Radar conformations. Ok for a lake toy.

Unlimited Marine. This is a 78 and that was the year Connolly bought the molds from Unlimited...

From what I was told, Connolly didn't change the molds until 84 when they made the deck "sleeker"..

So its pretty much a Connolly.

I dunno when the open bow part was done though!

RD,
It's pretty much a splash of the Spectra with the exception of the side deck as it comes toward the stern/engine cover. But being true to splashing all things Spectra, Howard Brown splashed the deck design of the Spectra 32 for that area.
Gene at Howard boats (current) told me that he thought Howard only made a half dozen of this 'Citation' model. It's 24'6", LS-6, powered, velvet drive and a C-500 (4% UNDER-driven).
This one was somewhat of a 'barn-find' as when I got a year and a half ago, it had clocked all of 39 engine hours in 29 years. All OG gel, interior, shag carpet and triple axle Competative Trailer. Nice cruiser that will be at Irvine (Fathers day weekend) if you wanna check it out/ take a booze cruise (this boat is really good at the booze cruise event).

Dave,
Guessing you meant 'mold' and I have no idea. Did Danny get the 21' mold from Gene? I so, he may still have it. This one is a 1978.

Good Question Brent.. I'm curious as to why they changed it over to a blower motor as well? Still one of my favorite boats of all time..
