This was a Wildlife hull my son and I purchased a few years back and we spent a lot of time Awlgripping the outside and inside and doing a one off custom job. New euro style console with flip up front door and we cut an access hole in floor inside console for porta potty. 35 gallon livewell leaning post with custom T Top and backrest done in my plant . Also batteries in console. All key switch and tach and rocker switches enclosed in flush mount on console. Close the door and nothing but the steering wheel and binacle are there.
Boat is rated 350 HP from the factory and we hit 49 mph at 6000 RPM with this Suzuki beast. Turning a 20 pitch prop. No tabs needed. Planed in 3 seconds. All new everything...wiring, plumbing, fuel tank cleaned and new sending unit, console not bolted to floor....glassed in angle bracing for side bolt finish with no holes drilled in floor. Awlgrip on outside and Awlgrip on inside matched to Parker color.
Loved how it turned out and it rode like a beast with all this weight. Console is cored with 3/4 plywood for T Top bolting and strength. Leaning post is bolted to side bracing glassed to floor just like console.
Would have loved to keep it but cannot do that when I build KenCrafts now.
I still have the 18 Parker Ice Blue that was shown a year or so back. Will be selling that next. Check it out on this forum as well. Lots of custom work there too.
