The yellow & blue one in NY that Vincent painted is one of my all time favorite bullets!
What work did the $25k Bullet need? Should be a fast Bullet with blowers, I'd think. 80?

It's sad when a Cig gets a 1/2-arse paint job.

Keytime, you still thinking of a Bullet? I think the one in Hartford sounds like a good deal. Just check out the engines and get a survey.

Speed wise, it depends on the boost it's running. You should be able to ballpark it with the props. If it can pull 28P Bravos, it should be close to 80. I'm 27P Mirages and should be mid to upper 70's with 6 lbs boost, but I still have some dialing in to get there.

Guys, I'm still trying to get Bullet info for the spreadsheet. At least send me your HIN or hull number.

Thanks

Oh, I'm always keeping my options open, and I really dig the Bullets, but not shopping too hard right now. Just keeping my eye on the market for future reference. But if the right boat came along for the right price, who knows. Getting experience with the Check right now and having a great time.

Still having problems getting info for the Bullet spreadsheet?

How many rpm are you turning those 27s? Is yours a bravo or trs boat, those 27s are they mirage or mirage plus?

Plain Mirage on Bravo drives. Tachs are originals and don't seem that accurate AND jump around alot, but I'm guessing I'm turning between 5000 and 5100 right now. The drives and props are not in very good shape, but my priority is getting one engine rebuilt over the winter (oil pressure drop and metal in the filter).

Thanks. I was just curious because my boat is a trs and really likes the three blades. im running a mirage plus 27 at 5200 and it will run 79 in smooth water but takes big water to get it to run fast with the four blades.

ttt

Anyway, 68 is not that high a production number and I'm confident that with people giving me the info, I can come up with a decent chronology for the production run. Please either PM me your info or email it to me at [email protected]
I would also appreciate those who do not wish to provide all the info to at least send me their HIN number to "fill in" the database hole. Thanks for any help you guys can provide. Maybe it'll keep me out of the garage some this winter.....

Any name you chose (real or nickname) but prefer real
email address (optional)
General boating area (ie Keys, LOTO, Hampton Roads, etc)
Phone Number (optional)
HIN number (must have)
year
power
drives
props
Speed
Mods and or upgrades and as much history as you care to provide
1 or 2 pics of boat
