History of the 1991 Comp Ts6m
I'm gonna post up a few pieces of history on this boat before I post any more pics of the restoration. With the original paperwork, engine manual and brochures included in the sale and being only a one owner, low hour boat, it made the purchase a no brainer for me. Well, that and the fact I stole it for $1250.00 which is a far cry from the $17,000 it sold for new. Sorry Michael Hunter! There was a trailer included for that price which they sold off at some point since this boat just sat on a lift in a boat house year round and serviced by on-site mechanic.
Built in January of 1991 with composite materials (confirmed) and then used as a Factory Demo (see paperwork), it was not sold to the original owner until March of 1993, two years after being built. Turns out it was the same local Supra dealer my Rider was purchased from ten years earlier.
I also found a receipt for a 25 hour service which was written on August 16th, 1993 just 5 months after it found a new home. They did not list the hours of the boat on the invoice at that time, which I was hoping for to see how many hours may have been put on the boat by the factory before they relinquished control of it. The last line made me laugh though, "customer says boat uses too much gas." Not sure you can fix that on a carbureted 351W inboard.
I am still in touch with the family I bought it from and have kept them up to date with the restoration progress. They are happy it went to a good home and hope to see it in person one day. The son grew up slalom skiing behind this boat and then competed nationally from my understanding.
