Bought it sight unseen from a dealer in New York for $15K.  I'll start a thread this week. 

yikes...definitely some salt usage apparent in that one.  sad to see a 2013 in such rough shape, but worth it for only 15k!

In for giveaway #3, thanks Glide! 

2007 Centurion Typhoon

It's been a looooooong Winter of upgrades since I bought this last September.  Upgrades include new interior and Aqua Marine Deck platform pad replacement, 1600gph ballast pumps, 1300lb ballast bags in the rear, Sideswipe exhaust conversion to a homemade FAE-style system, Acme 1619 prop, added a stereo battery and the Blue Seas ACR and battery switch, added 3 amps, 2x12" subs and a WS EQ, replacing a bunch of broken stuff like the blower, tower amp, hatch struts and all of the ballast drain pumps.  Oh and of course automated surfgates.  Still to do this Spring is a wetsand and buff.

No current pics but here's what she looked like last Fall:

1988 Supra Sunsport.  not looking to do much else this summer other than surf!  i do get annoyed every spring at having to adjust my shaft packing though, so the Glide system would be an awesome addition.

Mine had a big Avalanche thing on there kind of tribal like...with scratches through it and pretty deep into the Gel coat...all part of price negotiations. I thought I could live with the scratches, and I could have. I bought the boat in Oregon and live in Nevada so had time to think on the drive home. Bought some rubbing compound on the drive and spot checked it. That night I used the heat gun to pull the stickers and wet sanded the whole side, then started polishing. When the wife came out to see our "new" boat for the first time I had the whole side all white looking from wet sanding and I thought she was going to lose it. The picture I posted was the next morning. It came out really good and I actually prefer it without the stickers. This is actually how the boat looked when I bought it.

i like that clean look.  i'm not a big fan of most "older" boats' decals...it's funny how quickly they go out of style.

Projects before this picture was taken were a steering cable and pulled the stickers and buffed out the deep scratches.

 

nice avy!  i've always wondered if the decals on them were part of the gel process or removable, and your picture answers that!  did you have the flames or the avalanche logo?

awesome, thanks for the opportunity!  as i shamelessly post the oldest boat on the thread so far ?
