Can't believe I did it
 Listed my Midnight today, I have hopes to find a flat deck 37 I can customize or maybe a 38 Cig or Apache I can put quads on.
Have I completely lost my mind ?

Re: Can't believe I did it
It should hit the South Florida Trader on Nov 3, I'm still kinda undecided. It's a hard boat to replace. I would like to go to a closed deck 37 with interior. My buddy has his on OSO for 80K. They are also pretty hard to find. Either that or a 38 Cigarette I can refit.
We shall see what happens, it's definetly the best boatI've owned and I have had a few.

Re: Can't believe I did it
I'm going to say that boat those rigs should move pretty damn quickly.

Re: Can't believe I did it
Well in the rough stuff, not meant to fly. Mine weighs in at 12,500 100 gallosn of fuel. Cruises at 45 @ 4000 and 60 @ 5900.
Tommys boat is about 8-10 faster.
The cool thing is that you can do these speeds all day in 3-5 footers.
Had it iin 6-8's with the right wind direction you can still fly pretty good without getting your brains beat out.

Re: Can't believe I did it
Sorry, didn't mean speed wise. Meant at that price they should not last very long. Are you saying the 37 with quads will break 70MPH?

Re: Can't believe I did it
You would think so, we'll see. Only problem is both of us are pretty much undecided if we should sell or not.
The former Midnight comp put out # for quad 225 of 66-68, Tommy has told me he at that now with bottom paint and believes he can get more with prop work.
I am running stock 24 Bravo ones with trip 225 and hitting 60 (radar) Bottom paint also, the max was supposed to be 56-57 for mine. I think I couold get anoter 2-4 with removal of paint.
Powerboat did a test on a newer 39 with quad 300X's They were hitting 78 mph. I believe they were spinning 28 Bravo ones
Ready to buy mine??

Re: Can't believe I did it
I just sold my Cigarette last month and am looking for something exactly like yours -only in few months. Need to finish another project first.

Otherwise you, me and my surveyor would be going for a boat ride this weekend. No joke.
I don't see how this won't sell quickly. Your friends either. Those are impressive numbers for the boats that they are, with bottom paint no less.
