1983 Formula Thunderbird - 42ftThis is an amazing, classic, custom Formula Thunderbird. In its heyday this was the finest boat in any marina it graced its presents in.Don't even ask if its fast, because this sucker can get up and go. 70mph at high elevation in Lake Tahoe.The bow is large enough to comfortably allow a dozen sunbathers. The cabin when cleaned and polished makes one feel as though they're in a Hollywood movie. It truly is an amazing boat and has a tremendous amount of potential.This is an amazing opportunity for any boat enthusiast wanting to restore a one-of-a-kind boat to keep as their own or flip for a sizeable profit.Starboard Engine: 512 HoursPort Engin: 485 HoursArnesen Service DrivesGailbanks Motors - Chevy 454 Dual Turbos42ft Trail King Trailer 3 Axle (Trailer alone is worth $12,000-$14,000)Auto LiftNeeds Four new carburetors.Port engine needs a new manifold.Could use new tires especially if you will be planning on pulling it far.Engine will fire up regardless and was turned over last year.Boat has been in covered storage the past year.Like we said, with a little love this could easily be a fine, pristine boat for personal use or to flip for a sizeable profit.

Questions
Hello there, I'm passionate by vintage and classic powerboats and have been restoring some for a while, mainly Cigarette from Awesome to Mistress and eventually Top Gun 38. This one deserves lot of respect and what appeals me here is that you get Arnessons on it. Can you tell me more about the power and top speed, either in MPH or NMPH. I eventually plan a trip to SoCal later this year with my mechanic to make full inspection, would it be possible to run it in the lake? I see some work to be done for a couple of grand $.
I spare my time between France, Geneva and Spain but feel free to phone me @ +33 7 81 27 78 99.
Best regards, all the best.
