Could you post a pic of that boat if you have one. That is one of the offshores that stick out in my mind from when I was a kid. A couple of others are: Bunbuster Bone Shaker Truckin Billy the Kid Water Fountain Ditch Witch Nytro Ghetto Way |

AWESOME!
I know of a 32 hustler with ASD's for sale in indiana. Almost bought it, but the idea of a 100+ mph capable 32' boat scared me. Not ready for that just yet! |

How were the older 41 sonics as far as speed and ride back in the day? Curious how it would run with 700CI nitrous fed motors?
I asked Larry Once, at that point he had been to 104 and said he still had plenty left. This was before the nitrious trick:D Jon |

Come on bro, 100 in a 32 not so scare. What about 140 in a 33 Daytona or 118 in a 22' Cat, now thats fast.:evilb:
The owner of "homewrecker" installed 427CI 500HP mills, he said the boat had 540CI's in it back in the day and broke 100, but was scary. He yanked em and said with the 427's it still runs 90-92. The boat is really awesome though. |
I also remeber a red fountian (the dealer) out of Michigan City.

I guess I was more scared for my passengers when the idea of buying it came up. I heard that the reason "savage" was sold was that the owner hit a wave the wrong way out there at 90 and someone went to the hospital.

Jon, you're close, but you have the wrong guy. Just to set the story straight....It was Jimmy Ariola ("SAVAGE") with his 38' Cougar who was pretty well bent after being beaten by Larry with his 41' Sonic and 700+ cubed nitrous engines.
Larry was an EXTREMELY SERIOUS offshore boater---always wore what looked like a race driver's jump suit while working on his engines in his boat---saw him many times with it on in Saugatuck and South Haven while pleasure boating or tied up at the dock there. And he pretty much knew that Jimmy the "SAVAGE" was one of the top dogs on Lake Michigan. Jim was a pretty cool, but confident guy and probably one of the premier guys on Lake Michigan to have superchargers for a marine application on his 598cid engines. I remember many people didn't believe it until they actually saw it. Anyway, it took the nitrous for Larry to finaly beat Jimmy, but I think it took place in August over in Chicago during the air show or Venitian Festival. It was after that summer Jim put his boat up for sale and ceased his fearless roar! Ready to get that loud beast out yet ? Jon |

Ghetto Way was my uncles boat and now a good friend still has it . 26' Left hand drive Donzi with small blocks . 65mph all day long .. Funny thing is Donzi tried to nut it back a few years ago but claims they never built it.
