What were the "good" year banana's charlie built.. and dont want to say bad(because i think a bad banana is better than no banana)_..but what year are the not as good ones??

I have an 82...It's Bad A@#

the all white with just one stripe is nice..those pics boat looks huge...

White with gold an black interior, Motor needs work, Any guess's on what it's worth? Charlie, what year's are from you? Trying to check stinger's,transom, this weekend!

84's were after our time....BUT, if it has lasted to this point it is probably pretty good.

The really bad ones broke up and delaminated many years ago.

Just look for any signs of delamination anywhere or water in any of the wood, especially the transom.

What happened to you and that Sutphen for the Around Long Island Race??

When they are parked next to a 7 foot beam 24 footer, they look really big.

Bigger is a much better feeling when your out on the ocean...way out.

you going to be at the Tobay show on l.I. this week??

When did you stop building them.. if i remember mine was an 81

one of my favorite features of my seahawk was grab rails built into windshield..that would work great on Banana..almost lost a friend once ..he was standing in between bolsters blasting thru inlet look over and he was gone ..he went right out back and was spawled out hanging onto cushion over motor at about 60..owww the good old days..

No...I'm heading off to OFF in Florida....the old racers reunion.

Have some important meetings down there, may have some different news when I get back.

I Had One Of Those Bad Ones Built At Port Edgewood,,Sued Them 8 Yrs Later All I Got Was Another One And Wouldnt You Know After A Few Hrs That One Started To Come Apart ,,They Should Be Shot,,Your New Ones Look Great Charlie,,,It Was A Great Running Boat Always Liked Em

does anyone have a pic of minor or starting delamination so i would know what to look for A BEGINING OR WARNING SIGN??..dont think i ever saw it on any of my boats...

Boat & Trailer in accident on Labor Day weekend, Boat is fine ,but trailer got it bad, Just got new parts , Hit & run driver!!

The gelcoat splinters comes off and then the layers of glass start to shred like someone peeled them like a potato.

It is mainly caused by not getting the resin to really soak into the glass fiber when it is being laid up......if you look inside at glass fiber as it is being laid up, you can see air bubbles ...if those aren't all squeezed out and the resin pushed through the fibers, then sooner or later, the air bubble will pop and start to open up.

well gues i am lucky never seen it..thanks

Sooooo....do you now own a banana with a really bad trailer????

Theres a hull that looks real similar to that in Bristol CT. Maroon with white deck.

Could be anything I guess but has that look for sure( squadron 27, banana or something like that).Its asit down short free board boat 24 to 27 Ft long, Been sitting covered there for 15 years or so. everyonce in a while I see them building a new cover for it.LOL

Not sure if it has ever moved or not. Looks MINT though.
