Lipship boat is in Az it won the world champion in F2 in 2000
MAXX F2 is on the east coast , want to say New York or Florida.
Speed racer was raced by dick simon and Sean Stinson for a short time (rolled at one time) but was taken to the cig factory and completely gone through when Jeff Cheng bought it. Chad (jawbreakerkid) owner it twice. It's still on loto.
And Tres Martin virgin F2 is in california owned by the owner of herring propellers and was for sale recently. Don't know if it was sold.

There was also a single step F2 boat (cloudy bubbly cigarette script down the sides) actually a really cool looking boat. It's in loto I believe too, it also rolled at one point.

Sorry to hijack the thread.

Thanks! Man it was a long ride back boat did not fit well on trailer,just got home.

Your perfect boat is out there you will be towing it home before you know it!

Thanks! I will start a new thread once I get this project underway.

It should all match by next spring.

I saw MAXX two years ago in Lake George NY. there were no engines in it but still was very clean,

Yea, it was for sale w/out power for a while. Saw it on the key west poker run a few years back. Nice boat. Though My least favorite paint of the 4 F2's.


Y24, congrats on the purchase. It'll be interesting to see what all it's going to take to make it perfect.

I think I asked my original question wrong. You said lip ship f2 was first ts hull, then Miami two step then rice hauler. Were the other f2 boats hull 4, 5, 6?

Ah! I actually don't know the hull numbers. I was told Miami Two Step owned by Chet Huffman and Rice Hauler owned by Rob Shin were the first two non-race built T/S Guns. I'm not sure exactly where the other F2 boats fell into that line up. They were all built around the same time.

Tank,

Just a few comments from memory. But my Boat "Rice Hauler V" was the first out of the "new" Twin Step Mold and a 2001. You can always confirm this by checking the transoms for "square" Chet's Miami 2 Step and others (this one too if I'm right) are off square about 3/4 an inch side to side from the "old 2000 molds".

At any rate the reason I chimed in is that the dash panels on this one are reminiscent of "Stevie G's" twin step "Kisses 4U" which was the second twin step Phil did in 2000 right after Chet's and was powered by HP 500's. (The Chart Flap is like Chet's though) at any rate If memory serves me right this boat (Originally Stevie G's) was eventually bought by Brett Furshman (?) who was racing the old Mikkosukee Gaming Boat back then. He was used This rascal as a personal ride, and I believe it was reported as stolen for the insurance money but the scam was discovered. It looks to have been painted IF this is correct. and I apologize if I am wrong in any of my reminisces. I'm only going by memory and it WAS just a few years back.

Best,
rob..

I believe you're spot on Rob.

We're all going off our tired memories Rob. ;) lol

Hope to catch up with you soon bro.
