What the hell is that thing?

J-Bonz 06-23-2011 11:03 PM

I just saw that and couldnt figure out what the heck it was... I guess I was not the only one

glassdave 06-23-2011 11:06 PM

hmm . . . . that thing is about forty minutes north of me :D

Catmando 06-23-2011 11:15 PM

Who knew Midtnight Express ever built a cat??? I'd offer him $30k and sell the motors for a nice profit if the boat didn't perform well.

Audiofn 06-24-2011 06:54 AM

Could be a good deal for the motors......

sommerfliesby 06-24-2011 07:07 AM

Ranks way up there on the ugly boat scale...
Possibly a top rating in the "WTF were they thinking" scale...?

sy goldberg 06-24-2011 07:33 AM

Catmando's Offer !
 
For him to offer $30,000 he would have to borrow $40,000.:evilb::evilb::evilb:

TC G 06-24-2011 07:54 AM

Yes and no...If they're all the same as the one you can see in the picture, they're 15" motors. That's a CLE in the pic, but it almost looks like the outside motor has a sporty by the gray nose you can see beyond it.

A decent 15" mid is worth $2500, and a 15" sporty is minimum $1500 and a CLE much less...Who knows if the powerheads are low hour or not, but is bad to decent shape a 260 powerheads would bring at least $3000 (more if they're low hour and running)

Too bad it's all the way in Michigan...

Only problem is, how much will it cost you to junk the boat... :eek: :drink: :drink:

ME built a few. Hull is similar to the active 37 cat from MI. Two were built for the movie "Thunderboat Row." My bet is this is one of those boats. The other has been on and off of ebay and CL... she's yellow, red and orange... also w/ (4) 2.5 ltr ob's

Both of the movie boats were black. They stayed on teh top rack at the fort for many years. Another 4 engine ME cat was the "Wall Street Express" She was kept on a hydra hoist at the Turnberry Marina in N. Miami.

Funny and ugly as phuck is what it is.

Somebody bought it for the engines, or the owner is parting out. I saw this coming. Decent $$ in the engines depending on selling price.
