Exclusive 30 just found

[mbardsley]

I am just cleanning it up now, found it sitting under some trees for 8 years. Getting all the title work for it also. What can anyone tell me about it, I was told it was built by Midnight Express, model Exclusive 30, center console, with 2 Yamaha 200hp.

If it's a Midnight, I was told it was an incredible running offshore hull.

The HIN # should tell you if it's a Midnight. Should have MXJ30in the beginning if #.

The Previous owner bought it from a outfitter named Powerlline performance boats, in miami, they went out of business in 1991, and from what research I have found with his help is that there was some kind of partnering of stuff in the 86-88 time period with Midnight. I am not sure how it worked, trying to find out. The HIN is a powerline HIN, but I was informed it was layed down by Midnight using there mold for them. The only diference I can find is the location of the center console, mine is farther stern than the same year official midnight of that year. I would love to confirm it. The thing is built like a tank. I cant get ahold of any one from powerline, they droped of the face of the earth, and there old building is now a truck repair facility.

I will send the picts to my friend in Tampa that is famaliar with the hull. You may also want to contact Bing at Marine Machine. He was the original owner of Midnight. But until then I will contact my buddy. I'll let you know what I find out.

Spoke to my buddy in Tampa. He has never heard of Powerline boats. He does think your boat resembles a Midnight due to the running strakes.

Your best bet is to contact Bing @ MArine MAchine. He was the owner of Midnight during that era.

Best of luck. Tony
