He got a Baja (I think 36 foot) that was stolen from Baja after a photo shoot. The thiefs took the boat, ripped out the engines, took a chain saw and cut out the transom (to steal the outdrives), chain sawed the cleats and dash. They took out the interior then rolled the hull into a ditch and took the trailer.
He bought the shell from salvage and re-did it himself - built a couple of monster 540's (they might be 600's) with X-Drives, built a new dash, did all the fiberglass and fabrication work... AND built a new transom, got the specs from Baja on where to place the outdrives. I think he has approximately 50K in the boat (including a triple axle aluminum trailer) and it appraises at ~140K - not a bad turn around.
You CANNOT tell this boat was hacked...
His race boat from the website he got from salvage - it was storm damage and the stringers were rotted. He tore them out and re-did them... I was told his first test run (on the Bay) he hit the throttle and the boat lept out of the water and hit the limiter on the engine... Pat said it was scary fast... racing he is not even at two-thirds throttle at 75MPH (which is the class limit).
I know some other secrets I am NOT going to let out! Let's just say the boy is nuts!
I know Pat personally, if you need any type of work done - this is THE GUY to do it... he knows his stuff...
