Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

Sold the Nordic last year and went over to a 34 SeaRay for the season, and needless to say have the need for speed again! The wife gave me the ok so the search is on. I always like to have something a little different and two of the boats I had interest in were the 30 Adrenaline with a single 700 and nxt drive or a custom 36 Kryptonite with twin 525's. Obviously two different animals,if I go the Adrenaline route,it would be a beautifully painted finished piece with a lot of detail(should be for the money)! The krypto would have to be pieced together with used motors and drives to get it built for about the same money (under $200000). I live near the krypto factory and could be involved in the design and build of that boat. Taking resale out of the picture, do you go with size and twins or detailed finish with a trick single?.........................Any other suggestions and if someone is looking for a good cruiser,its in the classifieds!

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

"Lightspeed" has a nice 2006 29 Krypto.....106mph
Brand new.....I think it can be had for less than 100K.
Just a suggestion....

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

Hey Sick Nordic,
Has Kirk built any 36's yet. I was up there a while back and we were talking about it. I am looking to move up to twins (out of my 29 Krypt) and would love to see what his 36 looks like. I am hoping he builds it with a deck like the 29 not like the 39. Anyway, if you want a good 29 mine or lightspeed's would make excelent choices. Also, just my opinion mind you, if you are looking to spend 150-200k I would be looking at a Cigarette Gladiator. In fact I am looking at getting a Gladiator...if I can sell my Krypt. :D

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

Kirk has not built the 36 yet. Part of the deal I have with Kirk is that the boat has to look more like the 29 and the hull needs to be cut down more(just like the gladiator). I love the gladiator,and almost put a deal together last week on garys gladiator,but with 3 daughters I was looking for a small cabin with a portapotti and Kirk say's we can do the sit down boat with a small cabin. I have also worked with Kirk when he built me my all yellow 29 back in 2001.

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

I saw your boat at Paul's and it is beautiful just looking for something a little bigger.

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

theres no substitution for feet ..the bigger the better....good luck with your search/////////////////////// if you know of anybody thats lookin for a 29 send em my way >>>>>>>>>>>thanks John

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

I knew it wouldn't be long for you to get the itch back!! :D

Have you seen this Activator? http://www.offshoreonly.com/esvon/page-11382.html

I saw it a few weeks ago going on the Conn. River run. Beautiful, to say the least!!!

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

What kind of $$ is kirk talking about for a 36. When I was out there a year and a half or so ago, I told him the same thing you did. A stretched 29 staggered sit down rocket would be awesome. My only concerns is that he hasn't built one yet and if it is too much $$ it may keep me and others away. I have had no bites on my 29 and it has been for sale for a while. Name brands = easier resale.

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

Well, neither of these boats is really a "name brand".
I've seen the 30 Adrenaline and its really finished nicely.
Never seen a 36 Kryp(and neither has anyone else it seems) so it would be a tough call.

For under 200k, i'd see if Saber could build a 34 sitdown w/a pair of ilmors and konrads... but thats just me.

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

Sick

You know my opinion......


Big boat with big power.. and Sixes...

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

In my opinion from things I have seen on this board. You will pay probably the same money if not more for the 30' Adrenaline then you will for the 36 Kryptonite.

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

Another thing to consider is how both boats will be on resale? The Adrenaline's have not sold too many from what we have heard on here? The Krypt with 6's will be set up to Race or someone who just want big power in a staggered pleasure boat. I also agree with Lightspeed that you can't beat length of a boat when you get in the rough stuff.

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

That is sweet. I would chew through drives with that boat. Give me an arneson and watch out.

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

That is not somthing to consider. Dont buy a boat if you are worried about selling it. Save your money and get some retail commercial property. Buy the boat you want and use the hell out of it.

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

There is a 39' Kryptonite for sale here in OC. Send me a PM for the owner's contact information if you are interested. I have no idea what the asking price is, but the boat is spotless and runs like a rocket.

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

That is basically the boat we were gonna use as the model. Just cut the top deck down a little because I heard visibility at idle was a problem on that boat. Do you know if that was true? I saw that boat in person and it is beautiful!

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

Sick Nordic,

Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions you may have on the Adrenaline V30. We are building a V30 with a 700/NXT setup. I have had my personal V30 in some of the nastiest waters the Atlantic and Gulf have had to offer. Let me know if you have any questions.

KRYPTONITE :D :D

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

28 knots in the Sea Ray ain't cuttin it! :drink:

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

You just want me to buy a boat from Paul! :evilb:

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

There are a handful of Single Engine 32' Sunsation Dominators on the market. They make for a really nice boat.

There are two locally here in VA. One is running a Whipple blown 500EFI.
The second is having a 900HP ProCharged 540 installed.

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

Just make sure that whatever you decide _ it will spank Titan's Progression.

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

You are still Pipe Dreaming with Paul telling you your Nordic was going to beat me. I have gone 98 so far with only 5 1/2 lbs of Boost. And if that moron did my prop right I would have broke 100. Hopefully yours will be faster this summer!!!!!!! :D


Oh yeh and it is a straight bottom boat too.

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

Not true I just want you to buy a boat with the throttles in the passenger seat. I put a throttle in my passenger seat for you!!! This way when we go out in mine I'll drive and vice versa on yours..... :D :evilb: :D :evilb:

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

And how many times was your rig in the shop for repairs this summer. Mine only 1X. Unfortunately for the Hot Toddy :mad: And Yes - I hope it goes faster too.

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

Once for lower gear sets. None for engine problems whats your point? I did the lowers again right before the Conn River so I am fresh for Next year...

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

There is no way you are going to be happy in a 29 or 30 foot boat.Having gone from a 36 baja to a 29 kryptonite and now back to a 38 foot formula,been there done that.My kryptonite just sold only took 1 yr!! Kryptonite is a good boat so is the Adrenaline but hard on resale.Sorry to say it but I always will stay with the big brand names from now on.My next choice 38 Donzi Zr,sit down with a cabin !! 90 plus for hell 250k Just my 2 cents good luck with your selection Bri

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

Titan

It's not about who wins or looses. It's about how cool you look doing it and how many chicks on your boat. Lets take a poll.

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

Just messin with ya :p
Hope to see you out there next summer. I'd love to go for a ride on that bad ass boat of yours!

Ray

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

Yeh your wife looks like she is having a great time. And if you are counting your kids as chicks then I guess you win. My wife love the boat. And if it wasn't 48 degrees that day and 4 foot seas in the sound 8 on the return trip she would have been there.... Whats your story for not coming to the Conn river run...

But you are correct.. It does not matter who wins because there is alway someone faster. The only one who beat me that day was the 30 Activator with 1100 hp in it......

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

Brian, You made a mistake by not taking my Gladiator it was a real good piece. It is back in Miami at its new home and the the new owner is loving her ! He bought the boat sight unseen and when he took delivery he called and thanked me and said the boat is a show piece. Don't make another mistake, buy what you really want !

Regards

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

This is what he wants............

Or maybe what I want him to buy..... :evilb:

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

Went to disney with my crew.

Maybe next year for that run. Hopefully it's not that cold. It makes my nipples hard and gives me shrinkage.

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

Thats cool. Nicole and I are thinking about going in April next year. We both have not been there since we were kids...

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

Don, thats a sick skater. :cool:

Re: Kryptonite or Adrenaline?
 

I have only been in the boat once, but it seemed OK to me. The boat does have quite a bit of rake when sitting still in the water, but I don't think it is any more dramatic than our Apache or anything comparable with no cabin weight in the bow. The boat does have a ballast tank if needed while running.

I have run beside that boat dozens of times and it is certainly loud, nasty and extremely fast. I am sure that Bill would run it for you if you are interested. Like me, he looks for any reason to get away from work to go for a boat ride. Just get here soon before it gets cold (before winterizing).
