The Bullet is a great boat you are going to need a serious tow vehicle, very heavy!

Re: Cigarette Bullet
 

Clay, I'd be looking at Stan's Bullet pretty hard myself if it wasn't for the fact that I need a tow vehicle also.
If you have a tow vehicle, I wouldn't be too worried about the TRS drives. I'm working on a truck first - I know you were talking about getting a bigger truck not to long ago - if you got it, I wouldn't be afraid of the drives. It's just alotta boat to be towing, and the added expense of a truck is holding me back right now.
You said that if you want more speed, you'd spend some money on the motors. Well, you can always divert that $$ to Konrad's if you can't find TRS parts. I had a TRS and loved it - the B&W was nice to have around the docks.
Ratman's Mistress is also a helluva boat. I was out with him a few weeks ago, and it is a serious wave crusher. We knocked down some BIG water and she ran HARD. Plus, he's got SSM 3's. P.M. me if you want the skinny.
Good Luck in the boat search.

Thanks, but that sundeck with the scoops and the "exposed" exhaust is a deal breaker. I need a flat sundeck and a swim-platform for easy access to the water.

I still have my current truck, and I plan to get a bigger truck in January (or February). My current truck will tow 7800 pounds and my next truck will tow 10,000 pounds.

I would assume that a 31-foot Bullet on a trailer would weight in right under 10,000 pounds. :cool:

Re: Cigarette Bullet
 

Look in the classifieds on here, 31' Bullet it looks really nice

I'm going to get a beer. :drink: :drink:

Re: Cigarette Bullet
 

If a Bullet weighs 8800#'s dry as LakeLuvr has stated, it is going to be at least 12,000#'s towing weight. Boat 8800#,Gas 1000#, Gear 200#, Trailer 2000# = 12000# minimum.

Re: Cigarette Bullet
 

Oh yes... That Bullet is AWESOME. But at almost $68K, it is well outside my price range. :(
