Opportunity doesn�t come knocking often and if you are in the market for a true battle wagon, don�t let this one slip past. Arguably the most popular boat ever to carry the Buddy Davis name, this 47� beauty has had no expense spared in the total refit of her engine compartment. Her completely rebuilt Detroit 8v92�s have 50 hours on them and push her comfortably at a 24 knot cruise. Along with her engine rebuilds, the entire engine room has been re-wired, new fuel lines (supply and return) installed, factory rebuilt Panish control boxes (new cables), new mufflers, two IR cameras monitor the front and back of the engines, dual charging systems, updated ignition systems and new LED lighting that floods the entire engine compartment with bright, white light are only the beginning of her upgrades. The current owners had planned for her to be their best, and last, however, wife�s health forces plans to change.
