Chad statement wasnt based at you at all, just in general, F2 boats are a fun boat, im half tempted to sell the mystique and take it off his hands myself, other then the fact i got a new born on the way (july 14th 2009!), im just not sure that boat will fit my new life style....... |

Regards It is cool owning a former race boat. Typically get a lot of questions about it and they are definitely dialed in better than the majority of production boats but there are trade-offs. As was said earlier, they are worth what the buyer or seller feel they are worth. If the two parties reach an agreement - SOLD!:drink: |

Well, I don't know if there are any downsides other than the cabin, which to us was not a downside :D. Our boat did not have an electric engine hatch. The only one that does is Speed Racer. That boat is definatley the closest to a pleasure boat. It has a full bench seat (as does Maxx) and the port side has all the gauges like a regular T/S does. Maxx has a few on the port side but it does not have the standard gauge set-up. I believe MAXX is still a bare bones cabin (you'd have to check with boomer though). However, one of the previous owners of Speed Racer, (JBK) painted the cabin white and put down some lonseal flooring. Here are the cabins in the 3 boats. First one is the Lip-Ship, 2nd is MAXX (as it was when we looked at it a few years ago) and third is of Speed Racer. |
Awesome boats.....What power is in Speed Racer? Speed? Post a couple pics if you can.

It’s in front of the yard house in Long Beach California circa 2003ish during one of the SCOPE lunch runs. Jeff Cheng owned your boat at the time. Gary Sanchez owned the cafe in the foreground before he owned one of the other F2 guns later. Nort’s formula (phantom chaos on here) and running with the devil #6 Gun in the background next to your boat built by Ron songrath and yes, the cafe in the very far background is the same in the running pic. Can’t remember who owned it at the time.

Croozin2 on here has the only straight bottom F2 they built. It now has a cover girl cabin but I think it ran high 70’s when it raced? I have the Team Virgin F2 TG. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...3e95ecfeb.jpeg |
That’s a sweet boat !!! I have a straight bottom I removed the entire cabin and did a race lay up in it new fuel tanks and so on lol bait went 76 with 575s and Konrads. It had wet stringers and full Cabin just curios we’re it will run after all that weight gone. Your boat looks awsome !!!

Bobby, wasn’t that the old Havoline race boat that Phil re did. Don’t forget there was the cloud boat that was a single step. Then there was the single step that was sponsered by Marin... that one you see in the timeline in the cig Smokin book. I saw that boat on 188th across from the plant next to Bobby Moore’s back in the day. It was actually parked right next to Craig Barry’s little tunnel. Most don’t remember that boat. I am thinking it was repainted as the cloud boat. From what I can tell there were only two single steps. The cloud and Bousels/Rice Hauler....

And the Lucky Strike F-2 with the same stock 525's ran 93 mph. Plus all 4 are balanced much better. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...b2822655c0.jpg |
Man that’s awsome to be able to go that fast with that reliable conservative power lol. I’m looking for 85 when it’s all said and done. It should be really light
