Info on 38 top gun in wi
https://www.popyachts.com/high-perfo...illinois-61777 I’m trying to find out some info on this boat. I keep getting conflicting stories from the brokerage anyone know anything about this boat. Im down in Florida and don’t want to send a surveyor over there to find out it’s loaded with problems. |
Wait for Tank to chime in... He knows some history on it. We were just chatting on it not that long ago |
"Ruckus" - Used to be a bad azz boat. Owned by Jeff Cheng (founder of OSO). He converted it to a #6 boat but the X is low on it so the drives aren't quite on the surface. He sold it to Anna (OSO Blondcigchic) in early 2000 boat was sold went to Chicago and really wasn't head much of since then. It looks ROUGH in the photos. Cool boat though.
You can see the "issue" with the X off in this video. Not a huge deal just something to be cognizant of. Better days: https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...c529548cf4.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...ef42b2e55a.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...ee6b6aecc1.jpg |
I was told all the work was done in 2015. And I see that the gimbals have plates welded on the swivel pin area Ect.

God I hate pop yachts. Member here urban disturbance is selling this one with arnesons, looks clean and ready to go. https://www.popyachts.com/high-perfo...n-texas-139362 |
Both of those look to be well equipped boats!!
While not a #6 or Arneson boat, I've got a clean 95 with turnkey 525EFIs/XRs available for around the same figure. Not currently listed. (& NOT on PopYachts! :drink:) May or may not be an apples to apples for what you're looking for but wanted to throw it out there. PM me your number if you want to chat about it. It will be at Tickfaw weekend after next. |

I'm sure they're referring to the part where they say Mel Riggs when through the Pfaff motors. Not the #6 refit which I'm sure the sales people don't even have a clue about. I can tell you the boat has had plenty more owners than 2! LOL. Cheng was (at least) the second owner from new, then Anna, then she sold to at least one other. Boats gonna need much TLC. Not trying to poo poo anyone's sale. Just the facts.

I rigged that boat with the number 6s for Jeff back in 98 or 99 and he would not let us move the motors we had to use the mounts were they were. The boat was originally a number 3 boat so we just covered the holes with the boxes and that was the X we were stuck with. Regards Dan It still ran well.

This one is probably a much better candidate...........
