Look at this thing!
 

I have seen it all now!! haha

Kinda looks like the mod failed and the fiberglass started to sag...lol
What a stuip looking boat, wonder if it works?

1500 Hp On That Motor " Ok " And A Bravo Drive With No Hydrolic Steering .
Some Sale's Man :)

1500 Hp with 502 procharged :coolcowboy:

Look at the stringer pics up in the bow, they didn't even make a composite sanwich, its just wood with laquer, stringers and bulk heads are 2" at most and their not even a solid piece, their cut to fit???? WTF, this boat could easily breakapart if it hit a wave, I have seen jon boats built better.:party-smiley-004:

yep that did not look like a 540 dart motor, I was going to call and ask which procharger model it has, at 1500 hp I would think the m 5 model and that looked like a stock m1:eek::lolhit::bsflag: man some people are just phuckheads:lolhit: later its nice out for a change.:evilb:

I was gonna put in the opening big of $1 but I was afraid I might meet the reserve! Id have to sell the engines to pay for someone to scrap the boat.:eek:

LMAO 1500 hp, the pulley is the size of a pizza, stock manifolds, not to mention a bravo out the back....

I kinda doubt Art Carlson built this boat, he may have had a hand in designing the hull form, but he had way more sense and boat knowledge to build something like this with those methods.
Whoever built this "Thing" should go back to what they were doing in a previous life and leave performance boat design and building to more knowledgeable and capable individuals and companies!
PS- We got a new big block coming out soon at 1200HP built completely out of impregnated balsa wood!

At least now I know if I ever decide to take down my garage I can use the trusses to make all new structural members of my boat. Does home depot sell stainless nails?

Hey now, it's nice to see a hull that weighs less than the power package.

What ever this guy is smoking I want some !!!! :rolleyes:

This boat used to be at the lake we go to. UGLY. I will promise you with everything I have this boat doesnt run anywhere close to 80. The guy also told us it is all balsa wood.

It almost looks to me that it was a "plug" that some mis-guided individual got ahold of and rigged.......sort of.

I would imagine with a weight of 1300 pounds, plus another 1000 for the engine/drive? Hit a wave and it breaks in two pieces. A bit stern heavy maybe? How hard can you push the envelope to get that kind of HP out of that engine?

I AGREE IT LOOKS LIKE A PLUG:bigbird:

Bladerunner??
 

Looks like the plug for the original Bladerunner made in New Zealand. The newer bladerunners use a redesigned stepped hull and actually are quite fast. But yes, the ebay sales pitch is absolute Bullshi$$.

That is what I was thinking. Imagine if some unsuspecting guy buys that!:eek::eek:

ALL THAT HORSE POWER THROUGH A RUBBER HOSE!!! Are they Stellings or CMI Big tube.. Wouldn't want to put a lot of back pressure on all that horsepower :bsflag:

Salesman or :bsflag:


Bid is at 676.00 Big ones.. What is the reserve you think??

Well the block is yellow and it does have aluminum valve covers = 1500 that is what we do to get 1500 hp.
How does the ballsa get pregnated I think I saw that on the discover me channel :eek: I have read that is where the power cums from?:drink:
Its over 5000 on e bay wholly crap hope this dosent come to LOTO!!!:eek:

One of the 3 boats is being restored at this time and will be valued at over $800,000.00 when done. Similarly this particular boat now in basic trim could be augmented in much the same fashion.

I want to see that one!:bong:

o i got to have this NOT, i think any one in the boating world would look at you and say what the phuck is that.

Yes this boat has been around for a few years now. If done rite the wood that you see is probly stronger than glass since it is with a kevlar over lay but what scares me even more is the sheeting looks like dooor skin. As far as the design goes, can you say HYDRO-DYNAMICS ???? Now for the rigging. Yes Mike no HYDRAULIC STEERING. but the I have seen worst. Now for the horse power, 1500 HP, I don't think so. Any moron can see it no 1500 horse power but more 600hp at the most but have my doubts. The electrical is a bit scary too. Pop a mold from it build it rite , you would have one hell of a boat and fast looking from the design.

The real 33EC was designed by Carlson. He calls it the Reverse Three-Point Air-entrapment Monohull. There were five built, most of them weigh around 8800lbs. They ran close to 80 with the old 502/415 motors.

The original cockpit has seating for nine with a bar behind the double helm seat. Front and rear port bolsters with seating for five on the bench. The cabin sleeps six.

I don't know why Patriot Marine has not brought one out yet. This press release is several years old and AFAIK there has not been one built;

I had a 24' version of that hull and it handled extremely well. The boat in that ad is an imposter. I wouldn't give five cents for it.

Somebody put alot of work into an ugly boat that I'm sure is a pain in the azz with all the wood. I am also sure it weigh's more than 1,500 LB's without the powerfull stock 502:-) Lots of marine ply under that balsa skin.....and lotsa staples and brads.

I can assure you that Mr. Carlson did NOT build his boats that way. Now he might have used marine-grade plywood in the transom, and maybe in the stringers, but I doubt if there was any wood in the rest of the boat. To give an even better indication of Mr. Carlson's construction methods, the hull to deck joints were through-bolted, screwed, sealed and encapsulated in fiberglass.
