High Life- I think we all have done the would-a should-a over the years.I have always liked the purpose built race boats of the 70s. Richie didn't know execution expres,but I did not know to ask about gypsy man.A little puzzled with #2s on a m- boat? Must have run pretty well with good sbc !!!

M39
 

High Life, do you have a pic or two of m39 as gypsy man you might share? Thanks

I went on the SUTPHEN site, racing section, lists all the race boats built. Zeller one, You should have asked Richie about GYPSY MAN, this was the original name. Also lists it on the web site. "HIGH LIFE"

Here you go ...........

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 30ctsutphen !!!!

Not bad

Why does the one poster think she had a dry sump system... in that era.. the oil reserve tanks were popular but dry sump in Modified class was illegal. Also, could this be Crystal Gershner's old boat? (Magic Gems?) The one Bob Lathem had for ever.

Last I had seen "Magic Gems" was in the South
Florida area. Also M.G. was a full stagger set-up,
were as E.E. was a side by side.

C.B.

The only other 80's side by side boat that I remember was "Bad Company" M-16. That boat had been painted white and was sold by Pete Packovitch around 3 yrs ago... It had side by side scoops on the hatch also... one of my fav. boats. The boat sold by the way, turn key for around 24k.

Wait... wasn't Tim Sheehan's "Busch" a side by side?

Yep

Based upon this most recent photo from a member sighting
(sixmassive) it looks like the occupance are sitting way to forward for a boat that had the long dash in Her. Looks to me that they cut out most of that area to incorporate two front bolsters, check out the pic....................

Original Great Adventure- side by side

Where dose this one fit in. :party-smiley-004:

That boat is now Inferno. Was previously Outragous

Thanks Andy, the B-12 # was my old Magnums race number back around 1987. the two boats had had simular looks:drink:

Inferno

sutphen
 

Still "INFERNO", new # S-1

Which boat did Tony Mazone and his dad have... it was a stagger 30 i believe.

Dry sump?
 

I have some pics with dry sump tanks stiil there! I don't know if there was a rule change along the way from early80s, but not much fits M . Evidently BBC s , #2ss m,also didn't fit M. ,boat has the factory staggered deck like inferno but never rigged for staggers. Maybe last owner made the changes .doesn't make a lot of sence to put a taller drive in same trs cutouts ??

These?

Nice !

You know I'm not a beer drinker, but they sure
do look like kegs from the 80's . :lolhit:

You have a point there pal :eek:

Re: Execution Express / Gypsy Man
 

SOLD .....

Any body on the boards buy it ? Supposedly
heading to Ohio ...

Correct, it sold to a friend from Ohio and is undergoing a complete re-rig. It will be a real sweet piece knowing who it sold to. :drink:

Kurt

Old Ride has the original props if the new owner is interested. Jo

How much money do you guys think it takes to restore a boat that's in that kind of condition?

Where in Ohio did she end up?

Hopefully we get to see it on the lake!

Only when your finished doing it :party-smiley-004:

Execution Express
 

We All Know!! It's ALOT!!
