30' Midnight cc

docguzman · 09-27-2007, 10:43 AM

OK, I think I finally figured out the attachments. If I did, then here are some pix of my 30' Midnight cc w/ twin opti 225s. Its an old school '85 hull that was redone about 5 years ago. Still has lots of 'storage' and a big 300 gal tank. To prevent it from taking unauthorized trips across the straits, I keep it stored. I've gotten it up to 50mph @ 5000rpm, but not fully loaded. These pix were from a weekend outing here in Key West. That same weekend I docked next to a 39' new school Midnight w/ trips. Definately not in the same league.
Mine is not up for sale, but there are a couple of other old school Midnights down here. I don't think I've seen any for sale recently.
Enjoy.

I had a 87' hull drop in my lap, and i think it was OEM from Midnight, or at least was informed that. Do you have any inside photos. I was trying to confirm on the details inside, see if they are like mine. Just started my restoration project.

Please shoot me some pics as I have the same hull with an inboard diesel. Do not know the weight, but would love to see another one like mine w/the inboard.

let me knoww if u see any old school midnight for sale 30s or 32s ,i really want to own a piece this history,thank you

This is the boat as I bought it, since this I have given it a tidy up and serviced the two engines and had it out for a few runs. The GPS speed was 55mph currently running Bravo 1 X Drives, 1.50 ratio, 28 pitch props. The props are too small though. Any thoughts on what I could try to get the Bow up a little more. The boat runs fairly flat at this speed. Too much trim causes the props to blow out.

I will get more pictures for you when I am down at the boat next.
