I missed it yesterday! Wow, it's in pretty bad shape. It's would need a down to the frame restoration and new ply hull sides. The way they are weathered, you would never be able to get a decent bright finish on it. At least he didn't put a down draft carb on it needing to cut a hole in the top of the dog house! I know it has been done and not only on X55's.

Bruce,
Dunphy actually experimented with a X65. They only made one before going under. They put the 390 in it and it was a 3 cockpit boat. Front, middle and then the aft with the dog house.
