33-38ft
Under $80K with power or under $50K without
Newer than 1989
No TRS drives
No cabin
No fountain's or Baja's (nothing agains them I just don't like them)

So if you know of any boat that meet my guidelines let me know.

Thanks,
Don

I know of a 38 Activator for sale... Probably right in your price range and no power.

Sorry here are a few more requirements.
No canopies, I like the look of the old F2 boats.
Also no big horsepower engines. Way too much work for me. I would like something with around 500hp each.

Sorry but I am picky.

I have thought about this boat. Love the look but the engines are a little much for me.

The engines could be sold for plenty to have them replaced with 500HPs and still have money left over. But, don't do that....for some reason I'd had to see that boat move backwards like that.

Have you searched on boattrader.com? Lots of options there for you...here are a few.

34' Sutphen with 525's

34' Sonic with crate 572's

33' newer Scarab with 502's

38' Scarab with 502's

I am thinking about that boat because it would be perfect except the it only has seating for three. If I could change that then it would be a great boat. Does anyone know the length and width of the cockpit in a powerplay

Look in the classifieds here at the 34 Tsunami Sutphen with Merc power. No need to look further - a race boat built right in your home town.

looks like a cool rig...if you really dont want a cabin i guess you could get rid of it in any boat.....just might loose $$ in resale.

Don, have a look at our 1994 34' Sutphen in the classifieds. It was a F2 boat until 2 years ago when we ran it in the P3 class. The boat is set up with a two person race bolster in the front, with a single bolster seat in the rear. When the rear bolster is removed, there is a rear bench seat.

This is a turn key boat that comes with three sets of propellers, a spare Bravo drive, Gil mufflers (to keep the neighbor's happy) helmets, jackets, intercom, cockpit and full cover and Myco aluminum trailer. Heck, we will even throw in some authentic Tsunami t-shirts.

If you have any questions, you can contact me at [email protected] or call me at 905-655-7041.

Don,
Please take a look at my 33' Powerplay. It was built to race, but never was raced. It is in great condition with 3 man bolster, full stagger, FRESH HP 500's and a Myco aluminum trailer available. Zoomers mufflers keep it quiet also. LOTS of extras also. no T-shirts though :D
You can reach me at 760-805-7947

http://www.offshoreonly.com/esvon/page-5281.html

I think the best choices for the money are my 33' Powerplay and Tsunami.

This is a awsome Larry Smith Scarab, alittle shorter than you want but is an awsome package. http://adcache.boattraderonline.com/6/3/3/73546733.htm

Re: Wanted: Project/Race boat
 
The Motion was never raced. Fresh water only. I am guessing 200 hours. It had twin 1000's and Number Sixes. It can be rigged with any power/drives at this point. Twin 500's will get you to 110mph. It is a Kevlar hull that was intended to be a race boat. The boat is mint! Stored indoors always.
