****straight Up Pimpin'****
So I was in the market for another boat.
I was looking for something with comfort, performance and efficiency all in one. It's gotta be able to get from point A to point B quicker than anyone else out there with me but must retain it's extreme fishability.
NOW, I know if you want something done right, you need to do it yourself and I became a firm believer when I began to shop around at the few boats that meet all my requirements. Shoddy construction, non efficient floor plans, etc, so I decided to bite the bullet,...buy a raw hull, gut it and built my own custom super stealth, untouchable fishing machine.
SO I searched and searched and finally found the hull of my dreams. A 1964 TANK. A little wider, deeper and thicker than most in it's class today.
Meet my dream boat
SO I paid the asking price and dragged her home to begin gutting her.
Unfortunately, when I got her home, I pulled up the cheesy carpeting and found it had been troweled on and had left about a 1/4 layer of rock hard glue. I had to get all this off with the orbital sander,.....damn!
Long story short,.....here she is,.....Big Red.
We actually run twin 55 lb thrust motors on the back and like promised, noone on the electric oly, private lake,...can catch us,lol
Boat was also used in a WFN (Dish NETWORK) episode of "Lunkerville" Click HERE to view the episode
Thanks for viewing everyone and don't let the jealousy get ya,....some day you can have yours too!!!!

Thanks man. You should see the restore I'm doing on this Enzo. ALL I have left to find is a chassis, motor, interior,wheels and various body panels.
