P-38 ??
 

I was doing some Sunday morning shopping and stumbled on this:
http://www.offshoreonly.com/esvon/page-7479.html

I never new this existed. Always liked the P-29. But, 38...
:cool:

Looks like a clean ride.

Notice in the ad, it has a "MERCERATOR" - is that in reference to the bravo drives?? :D

Is this a "one-off"?

Nice looking boat.

Re: P-38 ??
 

Tim, it sure looks factory. I don't know if it is factory or a re rig, but it looks very well executed. Joe Murray

Re: P-38 ??
 

Looks like a real clean package for the price.

Re: P-38 ??
 

Yeah, it does look factory. If it isn't, it's a helluva one-off job.

Figure, for a $buck and a quarter...hmm
The P-29's I'm seeing are asking $70.
An extra (almost) 10 feet, twins...
Looks like a good deal for someone.

I'm getting close to "pulling the trigger", I just don't have enough friggin' bullets.

Re: P-38 ??
 

tim thats a lot of coin...you can get a NICE cig for that kinda coin! id look at a cig with big drives...mercerator=bravo

Re: P-38 ??

Re: P-38 ??
 

yes it is a factory built boat. i asked the owner once about it. VERY cool piece. i think he also said they also made a P-43 as well. there are 2 p-29's running the river up here, cant mis 'em :cool: . :cool: :cool:

Re: P-38 ??
 

The owner is a forum member. He posts mostly in the tech forum. He takes great care of the boat and recently spent a good bit on upgrades. New sea strainers, pressure relief valves, offshore pick-ups, intercoolers etc.

I really like the boat. :)

Re: P-38 ??
 

and that means what fred...you'd keep it for two weeks instead of one before you put it for sale

Re: P-38 ??
 

Yeah, pretty much. :drink:

Re: P-38 ??
 

No bouy, that would be a device that chews up waste in the head so it is easy to pump out, it is a macerator, correct spelling. Must not have had spell check in that ad. :D

Re: P-38 ??
 

I just thought it was a very interesting boat, I never knew such a beast even existed.
Great looking - seems to be very clean.
Apparently Fred, you've had some dealings with the owner.

Dave, I remember one P-29 running up there, it was a few years ago, but I ran along with him once (or I tried to :rolleyes: ).
They are sharp boats.

I kinda have my heart set on an old Cig, just poking around and seeing what else is out there.

Mitch - yeah, I know he meant Macerator - I just thought it was funny, the mis-spelling.

Websters Dictionary Mercerator (n), - Demolishes Bravo drive gears.

There is just something funny about that.

Re: P-38 ??
 

for that money 38 cig big power and big drives :evilb:

Re: P-38 ??
 

someones gotta lot of corn in their poop...who sharpens blades for tem tings??

Re: P-38 ??
 

He!!.....I'll put you in a Top gun with SSM Vs for a buck & a quarter..... :D

Re: P-38 ??
 

You Cigarette guys are relentless. :D

While I too like Top Guns, not EVERYONE want's one. :eek: [blasphemy!]

The P-38 is pretty unique and offers a few amenities that a Top Gun doesn't. While that probably wouldn't matter to the Cigarette faithful, it might to others.

If everyone had a Top Gun, would they still have the same cache? ;)

Re: P-38 ??
 

Fred only because we like you :evilb:

Re: P-38 ??
 

Yeah, yeah, yeah....... :D :drink:

Re: P-38 ??
 

macerator=bravo... i still dont get it?

in 4 yrs 2 boats running hard i still have not had a bravo problem

hell i got a 10000lb cig with 525hp each and only regular bravos not x or xr
and NO drive problems and no drive showers even!!

Re: P-38 ??
 

oh and why an older cig?

i just sold a 99 gun mint for 100k!!

Re: P-38 ??
 

That was a steal on that particular boat.

I always shop hard.In June, I wasn'table to buy a decent 1999 Top Gun at $125,000 which is what I was offering. Sellers were holding out for $140,000 plus.

SoI found a smokin deal on an '01 Formula and enjoyed it forthe summer.
You're right, there's always deals out there, but not always on the boat you're looking for.

Re: P-38 ??
 

did i mention i also run 5 blades :D

Re: P-38 ??
 

i kept offering it on this forum and nothing!!!

did everybody think i was joking?

Re: P-38 ??
 

I never saw anything about that boat until it was sold. I would have made a quick purchase at 100k. :(

Re: P-38 ??
 

think it was a jab at the way it was mis-spelled in the ad. it was spelled MERCerator :D .

Re: P-38 ??
 

Anyway, I looked at this 38 in Havasu once. One hall of a nice boat! Park a Cig next to it and I think the P-38 might get more attention. :drink:

Re: P-38 ??
 

At the ramp!

Justin's Scarab is tight. The motors sound healthy with the new intercoolers and smaller pulley set up. The P-38 paint scheme is unique and factory painted. Great dash detail, also. Snatch her up, if anyone is looking.

Re: P-38 ??
 

i get the joke

but i dont get the bravo bashing... how have i been so lucky

Re: P-38 ??
 

Thats one nice Scarab

Re: P-38 ??
 

If I had the dollars I would! One nice looking Scarab :cool:

Re: P-38 ??
 

LMAO! Good one.

Re: P-38 ??
 

Because you know how to drive and throttle :D

Re: P-38 ??
 

Shhhh .... your gonna ruin it ! :evilb:

Re: P-38 ??
 

YEAH, YEAH, SO I MISSPELLED A WORD :eek: OH NO! ANYTHING ELSE I DID WRONG THAT YOU GUYS COULD SEE?NEVER MADE ANY MONEY SPELLING SO IT NEVER REALY MATTERED TILL NOW BUT THANKS FOR POINTING IT OUT! IM GLAD EVERYBODY LIKES THE BOAT!ONLY REASON IM SELLING IS TO BUY BIGGER AND FASTER!I JUST BOUGHT A NEW TRUCK SO NOW IVE GOT TO SELL MY OTHER ONE AS WELL.PASS IT AROUND,THE BOAT AND TRUCK AS POOLWHORE SAID ARE WELL TAKEN CARE OF! IT IS TRUE ABOUT THE LOOKS THE BOAT GETS ASWELL,AT HAVASU YOU DONT EVEN NEED FUEL IN IT TO HAVE A GOOD TIME,PEOPLE ALWAYS COME OVER TO CHECK IT OUT,AND MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE WOMEN BUT THE ONLY PROBLEM IS WHEN MY WIFE COMES BACK FROM SHOPPING AT THE BRIDGE SHE HAS TO SHEW THEM ALL AWAY! :drink: :evilb:

Re: P-38 ??
 

What a shame! I though I'm the only one that had a wife like that! She can't chase off my daughters freinds though. :drink:

Re: P-38 ??
 

JJONES - it really is a nice looking ride. I never knew they made a 38 version with the 29 scheme.
I thought the misspelling was funny and had to point it out - it wasn't a jab at your boat. I think if you were trying to run 1000 hp in front of a Bravo, MERC-erator could be a good definition for the motor (I'm only refering to Bravo's). Oh hell, somewhere in that statement I'm gonna pizz somebody off..

Good luck selling her.

Hey Glassdave - I meant to answer your question about that "situation" with the ex's family earlier.
I'll shoot ya message or give you a call tomorrow.
