Kaamacat, That is a beautiful Excalibur, is it all original or has it been restored?

Have you ever SEEN a Cigarette.........? Love at first sight.... maybe it was growing up in S Florida in the 70's living on the water.. watching the runners go by all day...... big power big money.....and cannot forget the ladies......although catching air and hauling a$# is always a bonus.....did i spell bonus right.. or is it drop the US and add ER

Oops almost forgot my Ole Lady.... 74 runabout....who says size matters.........alright don't answer that.....

I bought my boat based on the performance,quality,resale value.Got it four years ago and they are still selling for about what I paid for mine! Sure didnt buy it for the room, after all you dont buy a Ferrari or Porsche for the room do you?:cool:

Cobra Terminator 3000

Longest, fastest, single engine cat. Wanted the longest to handle the big water and Cat to be fast and single engine for the cost factor. Plus I needed a place to put a new 502 magEFI with 725 HP and an intercooled supercharger. I bought it to showcase the supercharger and to be a dealer for Cobra.

Was looking for a reletively fast cat, twin I/O, 28 - 30' but did't have the $$$ for a Skater or Spectre. Found this Cobra with twin HP500's and in near perfect condition. Flew to see it and it was all I was looking for, but needed some minor rigging adjustments to really be dialed in. I've changed props, added GPS speedo, changed to GIL sea strainers and adjusted the water pick-ups.

After a few testing sessions, I'm blown away - can't wait for summer to get here!

Nice thread, Great looking boats and reasons for choices. Thanks for the feedback. Keep em' coming, especially the Pics. DMAN2

I've got a 1979 26' Mirage. I wanted something a little different also the price and power were right. (486"Twin turbo ford 700hp)[IMG]http://[/IMG]
