Thanks
Which 88 the first or the second one. Kevin from midwest is a friend of mine and got me into this kind of work. He has had a hand on all of these one time or another.

Don't wanna hijack this thread, but since you're Bullet experts, I'd like to ask a question.

I looked at a Bullet this past weekend at LOTO and it had a crack in the deck right where the right side steps up. Is this a common issue for Bullets? Have you guys experienced this?

Thanks!

I know that it's been posted before, but let me try to post from memory (and some experience)without searching for it.

454 Mags=63-65 mph

500HP=72-73 mph

550HP=77-78

600HP=82-83

650HP=86-88 mph

700HP and up =Broken drives

Very common on bullets they crack usally up by the helm and at the vents by the gas lids also. Most bullets you see redone have been fixed put them back in big water sooner or later they are coming back. Every boat has a weak point somewhere something has to give some are just in covered areas and some are not.

Are these cracks more cosmetic than structural? IE, just wondering if it's much of an issue as far as considering buying one.

Yes.

I've only seen one Bullet that didn't have them....and it wasn't used much. Before I bought my Top Gun, I called and talked with Craig Barrie and Scott Smith. Scott told me exactly where to look in the cabin (at the foot of the berth) and he assured me that it would have some cracks there. He was right. It was explained to me that they are not structural and it's a result of square angles and the flexing of the boat.

That being said, you HAVE to get a survey and have the transom, stringers and bulkheads checked out!!!!!!!! They are a different story!!!
