Looking for a 70ft+ project boat with aft engine room

Funny you ask. I just saw this today.

If only I was 10,,
15,,,
20 years younger, I would jump on this.

I believe Neon Rainbow belonged to country singer Alan Jackson. It was based in Jupiter, Florida for quite some time.

Edit: after clicking thru the pics, I question if this is the same Burger? It's been a few years since I last saw it but I'm pretty sure it was in better shape. This boat looks like a challenge!

Did you actually check out the photos, CR?
IMHO, it would rather take blind optimism than youth, to jump on that thing!

23 years ago there were shrubs growing out of the cushions on our Bert when we purchased her,
up the Miami River at the original Bertram plant, also covered with a pile of JP exhaust dust. Rite under the east end of MIA runways.
Twin V12 Detroit's, We made it all the way back to Jax on 14 of those cylinders.

Thru my years, I have seen worse come back to life. Had a hand in some of them.
Na, those pics are great. She needs lots of time and lots of money if the plates are really in bad shape.
I have neither time or money left.

I think you were correct originally.

Hull # 475 has popped up a couple of times in my searches.
I am unable to find any data on that number.

Amazing how many web listings are just showing a single 30 year old picture and no price or location.

That for/stb hull was beat up. However, the missing fairing was beat off also. Making the bashes look like grave damages and are not.
Overall, the hull was not compromised here. Testament to a great alloy build.
If any frames were damaged on the inside, they should not be to hard to repair.
The interior pictures, one pic with a fax machine, looks like the inside hull from this damage.
I would mostly plan on cleaning and re-fairing here.

It is the bottom in salt water, no zincs and water tanks that would be my focus.
If the 3412s did not get wet, they will start back up.

If I had the money, there is enough hardware and scrap to make money with.
That is probably how $150K was figured.

Hang on, Wife Josie is finding more stuff on Alan's boat.
Some confusion arises during/after Alan's son-in-law's accident and death at the dock.
Lots of confusion on this and the boat in question (Neon Rainbow).

I'll ask Josie to keep checking this out after dinner.
Yes it is 1915 local, an early dinner.

I may have to go see this one in person. Pictures probably don't do it justice.

Keep us up please.

Josie's girlfriend called. Still on da phone.
Still,

Josie is great at web searches. Maybe tomorrow she will get into some good web searches.
