And I'll take the Trident, had a T140V Bonneville 750 some years ago and always thought about buying a T160.
This is very cool. Restoring older boats is great, and this site has tons of people that do so, but restoring a specific boat with a specific place in history is just awesome. That boat could easily have sat outside and rotted if the right person didn't buy it, so glad you did and I'm interested in the progress in any time frame that works for you! |

Tom, I know you have lots on your plate, but it's only because you do, that the boat is in the right hands.
When you are ready, just email or call, even if you just want to stop in and chat and go for a ride.... I'm finishing up winterizing my 6, plus my 2 OB's and one nautique is in resto phase and doesn't need AF. Plus the Marina boats... Anything you need?? Todd |

Todd, What I think I need is to see your boat collection! I really mean that. David, good running original T160's are up there in price, but you'll never loose money. Plus you'll have the only one at the local bike show.

Tom,
Really a great video of the boat and Ron (with Hair!!) He taught me back boom deep ups in Florida 1992 without the hair!! Lots of good close-ups (but quick!!) of the interior that I keep comparing. Wow!!! It looks just like my boat. Let me know how your progress is going, even if it is slow. No one is slower than me, you must just understand about my 68 Mustang re-stringer job!!! Todd |

John Gillette was the lead CC program manager and optioned these boats for Bananna George. John lives here in Moorsevile NC and I am sure he would fill in any gaps of information |

True that John is in NC. He works for a boat dealer; not sure which one. "Somewhere" I have his phone number; could probably find it if you need it. He is also heavily involved in the ministry. I think he is on FaceBook.

Greg and Art,
Thanks for the info on John in NC. I'll be looking for info from him and you guys in the future, as I eventually restore the BBBBII to "factory" condition!!. Todd |
