damn that is a really cool old thing ... Anyne got any more info on it?? any other around
love it. the guys over at the old school facebook page would go nuts over that
crazy how boats like that turn up that most of have never heard of just goes to show how much of the industry is looong gone now.. real shame
I would snap it up so fast!

I saw this one a while back. Funky, but I didn't really like it. Now that I'm kind of hungover I like it more? The painted one looks better.

Advantage built a 40' that looks somewhat similar to this..

Two outboards will never push a boat that big and heavy as well as two big blocks. 3 Verado's MIGHT get it on plane lol

Photos and specs are in this 83 brochure.

Respectfully I dissagre. Two HPDI 300's will run this boat and then some. Look at what a pair of 250 OX66's will do with a 35 Contender at 12,000 #. Pulling those heavy TRS drives, C-72 transmissions and BBC's out will reduce a tremendous amount of weight. I bracket will also give more flotation. My bet - 300 HPDI's - the boat does 35 - 40.

I get what you're saying, but Id still want the torque of the big blocks. Plus with outboards spinning 6k+, you will need some very small wheels. 18mph might very well be 4500rpm. Not what I see as efficient.

For a 30-year-old design, it's kind of cutting edge. Kind of like the beta version of the 400 SuperSport.

Or a Bar Harbor Island, FL

Love the roomy layout. I'd be all over the one on BoatTrader if it was located a bit closer. Drop a pair of modern diesels in that and you'd double your cruising range along with fuel economy.
