They're located in Algonac Mi. Yes they have been around for years. They make a big strong and slightly heavy cat. They aren't as fast as a Skater but they're not slugs either. I like their 39 because you can take 8 people out and everyone has a seat at 100 mph.

I know know nothing, ask Tizbad and Sylvester and Phatcat. Now we have the Swift Kick joining in on the fun. Lets not forget about Boot.

We all have their 39.

A guy here on Grand has a full race Ocean Express. It was a really slick boat when he would run it. Unfortunately, he bought an Eliminator and put the engines in it. :rolleyes:

I ran a 26' as a stock boat when US Offshore was around - ran it with 200, 2.4's & 2.5 's - beat the boat, stuffed the boat big three times and it kept on ticking - I ran the boat as a two seat with cover over the rear - Boat may be a little ass heavy with seats in the back - Boat also wanted to porpoise @ 75 mph - great choppy water boat - ask for Ross up there in MI- he might still be alive - I sold by Express ??? 12+ years ago - Max speed with 2.5's was 100 mph

I would talk to Tizbad.

He has done a lot of work on his and makes trips up to Ocean once in a while.

The 39 is awesome.

I have seen several 39s. Never saw a 26.

There was a 26 that ran in the Great Lakes Silver Cup Series with T-2.5 Mercs. It was always one of the top finishers.
