I have spoken with Christine Sutphen some, I would love to chat with Rich to find out some of the particulars on the things. Is he a user on this forum? Thanks

None of the Sutphen's are.

as in "Team Tsunami" the Sutphen boat? I am going to keep feeding and watering mine and hope it grows up to be a 35 or bigger!!!!!....... Think it'll work??

yup.....

"Fast Feel"
 

The 83 I am redoing was originally named this. C Sutphen sent me a couple pics of it in a parade and at the docks when it was new. Looked like a brochure shot maybe, can't tell. It would be interesting to find the guy that modified the rear deck, I was told it had big blocks in it at one time. Sutphen never installed any BB from the factory, in a RumRunner, according to Mrs Sutphen. I know when I picked it up it had racing mounts, raw water pumps, oil coolers and some items mounted for big blocks, plus the cap cutouts were wider and taller than the original sb holes that were still there.

dan and ken's 26 really did turn into a 34....i just hope mine grows too!

The Latest pics for now still working on her.
 

Almost done except a paint job.

Boat looks great.........but.....you have to ditch that speedo that says Baja on it!!

Your red 26 was from here in grand haven michigan for years sold new out of RPM Marine in holland michigan.
