It's a Moray, it needs some love, and there's plenty of Shane to go around ;-) There's not alot missing, but she is DIRTY! There is only one missle for this rack, and it needs to be fixed The Turret needs to be totally replaced, and the gun is missing. There's only one torpedo, and it's seen better days The front end clips are broken, and once cleaned and painted will probably have to be glued into place Again, she's REALLY dirty, and needs a good soak and a clean. So, what are my plans? I'll buy the lil bits I need over Ebay for cheap, and here's my big plan, to totally repaint it and make it a Joe boat. I have ideas which I've talked with Craig and Frank about, Craig had a TON of painting tips for me. I'll keep everyone updated as the boat progresses, but I plan to be workin on this baby for a while. Enjoy!

I should have a go at something like this; it'd probably be the only time I'd be able to say I'd bought a battered old speedboat and was fixing it up! Incidentally, I've got 2 missiles for that rack and a depth charge if you're interested. Also, somewhere, I've got the tuning fork-looking thingies in this picture: http://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/85/hy...ay_parts4.shtml along with a double-pipe-thing they're attached to, but as it's only in the last 5 minutes I've even discovered they're Joe parts I have no idea where I put them... __________________ * * * * * Come check out my Flickr account for more pics of my collection and additional shots from my JoeDios photoshoots.

The fork thingies and double pipe are the bad-boy exhast system for a Moray!!!
