Back in 1975 I raced this 1974 Cheetah 24', they already had a copy on the West Coast by then. By 1976 here is another West Coast company, Panther Marine that had a copy. How many copy's are out there ??????? But not a 25' Magnum copy.

is this boat still in the Chicago area? |
Yes, first year it was raced it had big blocks and #4s on it, Jim sold it to Joey turek at the end of 95’, he put the small blocks and bravo / imco in it
the boat resides in Michigan now but I have it in Florida currently, just had the motors out and Dyno tuned at Express Engines in DeLand Florida, they rock!, planning on running it a bit down here then back to Michigan, hope to run Boyne thunder next summer. |
Very cool.
i am familiar with Express in Deland. build great stuff! familiar with Michigan as well!! located in St. Louis and LOTO... also KW i worked a race at Lake of the 0zarks in 95... I have a blown up pic of that boat in my shop. PM me. no offshore boats at this time....the kids like to ski😁 |

Not Go Fast but our Old School- 87 43' Portifino. Had since 07 and rebuild all interiors, gages and now has full enclosure for winter months. Makes a Great dance floor for those Drunk Night Cruizes :flag: |
A friend of mine had a long portifino back in college, it was an amazing party boat and was always super comfy. Too bad it wasn't really his, so we didn't get to use it as much as we wanted ; P

I don`t know any of the history just knew it came from out your way |
When I met you in GH years ago and if you would have told me that boat was Smokin' I probably would have had a heart attack.
Todd owned it probably 1999-2005ish. It had 540's and TRS's. Would run mid/high 70's and break a drive every couple of trips out. It was always driven hard! That was the first boat I had ever been on in true 4'-6' waves and I couldn't believe how it ran. I believe it went towards Chicago/Milwaukee area. The 540's were pulled and and sold to a guy with a beautiful red gelcoat 9 meter Fountain. He brought the engines back to Jim I believe to get rebuilt. I remember one day I was putting hydraulic steering on my Panther and the guy was putting amps in the Fountain. I looked down the side of the hull and there were 8 2" drywall screw out the side of the hull. I just shook my head. Smokin' was brought to a couple of the races in GH, St Clair and Ohio for pleasure boating. I'll try to get my old computer fired up and see if I can pull some old pics of Smokin' off of it. Here is a pic along side my Panther when I was redoing the upholstery. Probably 2002 https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...2613efdd5e.jpg |
Oh man that is so cool to know some history!!

Ok I gotta ask what year is that boat? It looks pretty new to me. If its a 99 then you've obviously given that boat lots of love.

It is older than that. They stopped making the flat deck in 1987. I think that is the baddest 38’ on this site.

Good call, that one is also bad a$$. Fox Hunter was too, it’s a shame what happened to that one.

My boat is an 1986.
Kvoghts brother bought it and they did most of the refit. I`ve changed pretty much everything besides the paint since then. |
