Its a shame what some people will do to a boat. If you want a centersteer fishing boat, Sell the powerboat and buy one! Dont wreck a great boat like that. :cry1:

Yes, It was/is a Vulture. By the looks of the pictures there they cut the deck all up so dash and all is gone.

Chet, But your not cutting your deck and dash out and yours is gonna be cool race boat. :mrgreen:

I'm sure for what it cost to make that into a full center console boat it would have been cheaper to sell that and buy a different boat but I guess to each his own. Just a shame they cut up a boat like that to make it into something it was never intended to be.

While it would be a unique CC, I realyy don't think it would make a practical fishing platform. No storage, gunnels too low and too wide and limited load capacity. A tragic waste of a classic 'stream.
