I just sold my Scarab and I am looking to move down to a smaller boat that I can trailer. I owned a 21 Shadow O/B years ago and it was one of the best boats I have ever owned. I saw this Superboat that looks very clean on Scream & Fly. Does anyone have any experience with an I/O Challenger type hull? Do they run as well as an O/B? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Tom, thats my boat...

I'll give you an opinion, but I'm probably somewhat biased so, take it for what it is.




I think it'll ride/run better than any outboard 21 in any chop and its got the speed to run with most of them on the flats... with a shorty, I think it'd be into the 90s easily too.

I know that Gary (GRH) has driven this boat years ago, not sure if anyone else has been in it on this board?

Thanks for you biased opinion . Seriously, it looks like you have a really nice boat there.

I drove the boat when it was nearly new....502 415HP with a Blackhawk drive... it was a missle! ran well into the 80's with 4 people on board.... IMO it has a softer ride then any 21 OB I have been in.... but why should that surprise anyone... it has a BB mounted low in the back of the boat.... more weight with a better/lower center of gravity... thats an awesome boat I'd buy it myself if I didn;t already have a boat.... Keep it Nick... you'll be sorry!

I know I'll regret it, but I'm letting it remain listed while I see how everything shakes out at the new job. I'm planning on being down on Lake Cumberland with her next weekend if anyone wants to see it.

Thanks!

Nick...don't do it...only way you should is if you pick up the 34 listed and give it a white with red/black trim paint job!
