    sheldon midget boat

    anyone have any useful history on the restless boat?
    I know it was in the pirates cove fleet for a while, and its been listed for over a year.

    Pretty boat, I love the lines on her just wondering the condition, the photos in the listing look good but any first hand knowledge.

    I looked at a similar midget and it was real cool just looked like it needed a major refit.

    Thanks,
    Taylor

    This one needs a major facelift also, along with a repower. It has an old Detroit in her and is not really fast or fuel efficient.

    If you had the time and or money it would be a great project cause she is a good looking little boat.

    Hope someone gets her and makes something out of it before it goes to far the wrong way, there will never be another one.

    I agree Troy, its a work of art that I would hate to see go away.

    What do you think number wise would be a good guess? you can pm me if you have a minute. with the right power that boat should cruise 21-23kts don't you think

    Funny history.....if true

    If 42 ' - Former Hustler out of Rudee Inlet Va.
    Daddy (bought this for his son) after a questionable season in OE. Became "High Hopes".

    Well - Steve Richardson basically drove David Wright to catch VA swordfish record circa 78-79 (don' remeber all details).

    This is a transition hull pretty good in its own right - B. G. Smth had a new Hustler (46') build under B. Holton and it was a down-sea quartering nightmare.

    With some =vision you might get a modern engine package/ shaft angle and make this boat move

    I believe the Restless he is talking about is a 38 footer. Pretty lines to her.

    I may be wrong but I believe the boat you're talking about is now the Miss Nell, formerly the Little Jeannie, Osprey, and Temptress?
