the beam on the 39 is 11' 6", we measured my friends to make sure it would fit in his pole bldng.they have droped the 39 and now make a 36 or 7 or somthing like that, i cant remember exactly.they do all boats in white and paint the graphics on.

boot 11-23-2001 01:07 PM

If you guys don't quit talking about how great these boats are ,I'm going to have to go out and fix mine and take it for a ride this weekend !! I wish it was that easy ! :(

God ,I can't wait for summer ................

ViciousOne 11-23-2001 08:01 PM

When i left express the 38' was only 10' wide by tape at the widest point!So I could not tell you where the extra 10'' came from! There has not been a 39' built before 1995 when I was brought in there,and the 39' molds have been behind my shop for four years srunk wrapped. As Ross has quoted many times thats old technology I'll never build one agian!!

ViciousOne 11-23-2001 08:08 PM

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THE 39'IS THE BEST DAMNED BOAT HE EVER BUILT!!!!!

phatkat 11-23-2001 10:14 PM

Hey ViciousOne, Think Ross would notice if the 39 mold went walkabout for a month? Just kidding.

Hauling Trash 11-23-2001 10:26 PM

ViciousOne 11-24-2001 07:52 AM

Sylvester 11-24-2001 10:12 AM

Hi Sparkey couldn't agree with you more. phatkat or I will get a hold of you on the 39,keeping busy building boats up there at your place, I will have to get up there to see you and your latest projects havn't talked to you since MOCA poker run.

glassdave 11-24-2001 11:08 AM

hey vosciousone im still kinda new to cats, what boats ya buildin up there, i was at ross's shop a couple of weeks ago. had a good time , seems like a pretty good guy.i coulda swore we measured the 39 at over 11 feet wide, i think i had a defective tape measure or somthing, im sure your numbers a more coresct than mine.i will probably be up there next month or so , is your shop in thay area.

phatkat 11-25-2001 08:15 PM

38 is a completely new hull and deck. It has a more streamline look than the classic 39.If I were to get rid of my 39 I would try a new 38. Don't know the weight differance. Anyone have any specs? Do I smell 3 pages?

glassdave 11-25-2001 08:26 PM

yea , three pages.go go go .....woo hooooo :D :cool: :D :cool:

packinair 11-25-2001 10:21 PM

boot 11-26-2001 04:41 PM

I think we need our own section for us express kitty owners ! I didn't know it was such a popular boat . :cool:

boot 11-26-2001 05:50 PM

I keep forgetting to measure it but does anybody happen to know how wide the tunnel is on my 1988 39'er ?

boot 11-26-2001 06:40 PM

where do they actualy measure the tunnel ? Any idea ?

boot 11-26-2001 07:02 PM

Oh ,I see you want to drag this out ! :D
But were in the sponson ? The very front flares out , the center is a little smaller ,and the transom opening is a little smaller too. Or so it looks anyway .

Your not going to make me go out there now in the dark and measure it are you ?

phatkat 11-26-2001 07:22 PM

You leave yours out in the dark? :eek:

packinair 11-26-2001 07:27 PM

boot 11-26-2001 07:37 PM

I left a night light on in it under the white shrink wrap and the neighbors called the cops ! They thought it was a UFO ! :eek:

packinair 11-26-2001 09:08 PM

I have an OLD sanger Alleycat with twin 2.5L mercs . redid the entire boat last winter. went balistic in the gaffrig catalog and had Glassdave do a KICKASS paint/graphic job on it. it runs around 80 now but I have a TON of motor in the water. I WILL get mid 90's next year. I also learned 2 important thing with this boat #1 DO NOT i repeat DO NOT buy a boat the day you get back from your honeymoon!! #2 If you are stupid enough to ignore rule on and she doesn't like boats and you spend around 20k redoning a boat without your new wifes permission HIDE THE DAMN RECIPTS!! If you fail to follow these to rules I do now have the # of a good divorce attorney :confused: :D :eek: :mad:
