39' Kryptonite
 

Just out of curiosity, in the classifieds there is a 2002 39' Hot Rock Kryptonite. How many of these were built? How fast? Any opinions? Definitely looks like a unique boat. I know the 29' was the best F1 boat out there..

i dont think the 29 ever one anything the white 26 is the one that one all the races

The boat is owned by Bill Purnell out of Ocean City Maryland/AKA Wanted racing.It is a beutiful boat and runs as well as it looks.It is in perfect condition and built with no exspense spared.Sweet boat.

The boat is incredible. It looks great and is extremely fast. I can also tell you that Bill takes incredible care of his stuff. I don't have any recent pics on the computer, but here are a few from the past years. The first two were taken before the windshields were installed.

A few more.

I think Bill's was only 39 built.

he's speaking of a 39'...they dont make a 26 go fast...the 27 and 29 are the same boat..only diff is 29 has an integrated swin platform. Bills 39 is nothing less then spectacular. Saw the boat in person and as he does with everything...he spared NO EXPENSE

Exactly right Bern. Typhoon won all their championships in the white and green 27' boat. The black Typhoon was 29' and, as all the 29'ers are, it is the same hull as the 27 w/ a swim platform. Typhoon just didn't run the black one as much as they were moving up to a different class. I don't know the whole story with them but that is pretty close.
There was only one 39' built and from what I have seen it runs real good. It is ashame they have not built more.

Any idea how fast it is?

Very unique..

Low 90's. That is how fast my old Gladiator was and this Krypto had no problems hanging with that. It also accelerated better than the Gladiator. The boat's performance is incredible.

39
 

Hot Duck is exactly right. I ran next to him at 80 MPH and he rolled by me like I had the anchor out. VERY clean, good riding boat. Barry

that was the only 39 built with a full deck.I beleive it ran around 94. he also built three center consoles that where built out of the same mold. 2 with deisels and one with outboards.

After the Activator:cool-smiley-011:

What is the link to the listing?

I am guessing that the ad expired because the whole Kryptonite section is gone under the boats section in the classifieds. The owner of the boat can be reached at [email protected] or at (410) 430-7549.

Does anyone know if this boat is still around and for sale?

As far as I know, he still has it. He did consider selling it years ago, but decided to keep it soon after that and pulled the listing. His contact info is still the same as posted above.

Anybody know how JCPERF is doing?

Last I talked with him he still has it.

Tried reaching out but haven't heard back.

I seen on Facebook he had it out today.
