Ya that is a Great looking race boat and its been gone for a while now.

The 42 ft Revolution i Was wanting info on and feed back on are non race boats revo's
I know there was not to many made and that they were not light boats.

But they sure look nice and would be great in the big stuff.
Im boating out of Port Lambton now on the canadain side on the St Clair river very close to Lake St Clair any in these parts

They were designed and developed during Craig Barries tenure right around the same period as the Bullet and the Cafe. They were marketed and sold heavily over seas.

They are heavy and big. Most came in tripple application with #6's.

cabins are fairly the same layout as the Top Guns/Cafe's of the mid 90's.

If you look at the Revolution from the rear bench forward, over the two dash boards, you really get a feel of how ahead of it's time it was. With some minor tweaks it'd resemble exactly the Cats and few V's that are using the twin 1/4 canopy look today.

I think it's that same "different" look that hurts it's re-sale. Lines are a little less clean and it definately takes a certain buyer to appreciate the design.

There's a few floating around for sale and most have been for sale for a while. I'm guessing one could be gotten for a smokin' deal if you come across the right seller.

Hi are those sheet metal intakes on the 700ci eng or are they cast, I know cobra has blower intakes for them, but who makes carb ones for those super tall decks?

There's another one out there that has a white base coat, & black zebra stripes going down the side as well. I had a few pics of it, but have somehow lost them.

I have an original brochure. If you decide to go ahead with it I can get it to you .

any more info on the blue one?

Yes he bought a repo cig last year and was selling that REVO. Great looking boat IMO

This one is the best deal out there. http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o28601-en.html I've ridin on it a few times and heavy is an understatement but it sure gives a great ride. Turns a lot of heads around our waterway.

That blue one is sick!!!!!!!!

Sounds great, Well what are most of these boats powered with when they came out new and what are the speeds like with the triples.
Anyone know how heavy they are dry or wet
Any other pic's of them and any for sale other than here on o.s.o

Anyone been out on one and how do they handle
Thanks

I own the blue one. The boat ran way better in rough water. Had twin 800hps, wet 6s, blue printed bottom, 5 blade cnc merc 29s, lightened the boat up by about 1200lbs. Best I seen on Gps was 82-84 mph. You always had to run a little tab or it would porpus. I will try to find some more pics to post.

They were all triple setups from what I can remember. The #6 drive from Mercury had not come out yet, so triples allowed the boat to run more horsepower without sacrificing the drives. The majority of the "original" ones I've seen, have TRS drives & triples. I have seen a few with triples & Bravo's. They mostly had Hawk Power in them of all variations from the factory.

I've seen a couple of restored Revo's, with staggered engines & #6 drives, which would be ideal. The 42 Evolution, but officially the Tiger, took the place of the Revolution. The original straight bottom Tigers, had the Revolution hull under them.

Yep, since Craig was at the helm of Cig most everything from Cig around that time had Hawk Power running in 'em. I'd still rather have one of the Evolutions over a Revolution. Those were rare and in my opinion a slice of innovation history - Only so many boats floating around that were the inspiration for something great and on the cusp of new technology (#6/Tiger). Not to mention I just love #6 Tigers! I'm sure we wouldn't disagree on this one Brandon :drink:

Ours was the first pleasure rev. built for Bob Tortor. The first two were race revs. Bud said ours was the first cig ever to have 6s installed at the factory. The 605ci all alum. Hawks are the original ones that Bud built for the boat.
