38 Question
 
Mike,

To the best of our knowledge that boat was built with the 800's but not sure its the only one ever built. We took boat on trade from Kevin in Indiana about 5 years ago and he used primarily in FL. Bob them traded in his 42 pro charged boat on it and it went to LOTO.

That is all the history we have on it.

Regards,

Team Shogren

scott,thanks for the info,i was with joe several times when you were working on joe,s 42,after he got it home,i went through the engines for him.when i was looking at the 38 joe told me that bob traded the 42 in on it,talk about a small world.

That might be one that Michael (Grand Prix Marine in Cinci) had the factory put together. I remember him having one like that and heard it run at his shop a couple of times. I'll tell Michael that you are looking for info, and if it was his, he can probably fill in some details. :D

For some reason I think that mine was a 1998 but I will check. I also remember one other 38 fever being built with #6 drives. Mine had a pair of Merc 1000SC motors from the old Ohio Steel race boat and had B&M two speed trans. It had LOTS of custom things done when it was made. I will see if I can find the file on it with the hull #........what is the hull # for the one you have?

reggie,thanks for responding,in your expert opinion,what kind of speed should i see from it.the drives are dry sump and the x is as high as possible,they will be an honest 1000 hp at 6000 rpm.

You asked for help finding information about your boat. I thought I might be able to help, and this is where the thread goes to?

Your Fever is in fact my old boat. If you would like to PM me your information I would be glad to call you and help with any questions that you might have. I am the one that ordered the boat new and I had the boat for four years. BTW, it was paid for before it left the factory............ :drink:

thanks,i am,and i think i got a very fair deal on it,bob,the gentalman that i got it from,kept it as clean as a whistle.when i get it done,if i really like it,and if it handles good at 100 plus,i just might really turn up the wick.
