Project Beast

[Southerngrounds]

I picked up a supra beast last week....let the fun begin! Like all old supras it will need floors, stringers and a complete interior redo. The beast has a 454 but unfortunately it has a cracked block. I will tackle to motor last. Shanne at The Boat Works will be helping with the restore. His guys have already started on the floors and stringers. It will have a custom paint job and interior. I will try to post pictures as soon as I figure out how to.

Hats off to you. That will be a Beast of a project but you will love the end result. And if tastefully done, you will get more looks and compliments than brand new boats. Definitely need pics.

So is the Beast a Rider with a 454 or are there other differences?

I think they are the same hull but the 351 is a rider and the 454 is a beast image.jpg image.jpg

Take lot's of photos! I've referenced the photos from the crazy restoration that was done here; https://suprarider.shutterfly.com/pictures to work on my boat many times. This one had a 454 in it and he called it a Rider.

Looks exactly like my boat (84 Rider) except for the side windshield, which I didn't notice when I first looked at your photos.

I think they are the same hull as the earlier sunsports also... I don't think there is any difference in the hulls between the three, just engine size and open/closed bow. Definately take lots of pics! Your going to like that boat when its done, 19ft with a 454 will put a smile on anyones face

The cap is sanded and almost prepped for paint. Stringers may be done by Monday. More pics to follow.
