Re: Very nice 38' flatdeck
The props are 17.5x31 lab finished 4 bbl.
The drives are 1.5 ratio #5's.
The motors made 1108 hp. with some really mild street roller mechanical Crane cams and 7.5:1 compression ratio. I realize that I probably gave up 150-200 hp. by not having more radical cams and a higher comp. ratio, but I wanted to stay on the safe side as I normally run 92 octane fuel and switch to half 92 with 110 race gas when I want to switch blower pulleys to run more boost.
G.K.

Nice Cig! A proven"wave crusher" built in the days when races were run in the Ocean no matter what the conditions were and no one took any prisoners! Super!

I am sure that boat was leaving Key West next to me in the Nov 03 Poker Run. Love that paint job, it sounded great, and was not next to me for long. <gg>

Not trying to rain on your parade or disrespect your boat in any way, but there have been many very nice flat decks on here through the years and for some reason, they just don't seem to sell.
Maybe it's just older boats that people are afraid of. Good luck with the sale, if you have an abundance of people who show interest, I have an '88 Top Gun that had over $300K (1200 quad rotors, #6 dry sumps, Dave Hunter paint, new interior, new trailer) dumped into it (not by me) that I would sell in a heartbeat for $130K.
