The 39 Sutphen I posted was built in 2006 for Bob McCoy from Canada. It was delivered new as an outboard.

Different one then.
 

The one I saw was on Rice Lake in Ontario in about '02 or '03 and had the V-8's on it then. I'll have to see if I can find the pix's.

So, the dictionary definition of irony.....
 

I went through some old mags I had looking for pix's when I came across one on in the news magazine that the Performance Boat Club of Canada used to put out when I was a member.
In their Sept. '02 issue is a picture of Bob McCoys 39' Sutphen w/twin 900 SC's!
It does have the tube arch and radar. So when I saw it was either before or after that and when he converted it to the V-8 O/B's.
Small world.

Bob McCoy had a good sized stable of boats. Sadly, he passed. Had a Nortech with a tall windshield.

Found this on the Scarab forum - classic look. Curious how many of them are out there.

Yep.
 

A friend of mine bought it to restore and hit a wall half way through.
Was complete when he bought it, he put a new aluminum trailer under it and re-did the floor and then saw the light. Had/two disassembled OMC's. Current owner is parting it out.
Ton's O potential for a guy w/a barn and more time than sense.
I can say that since I've been that guy too many times in my life :helmet:
I'd love to have it but after more than two yrs of thrashing to get my Sonic going, and no inside storage........, not gonna do it.

Call me crazy. I ended up buying it. Pick it up Saturday.

Good for you!
 

Those are on my A list and if I wasn't 1500 mls away and had a place to work on it, I'd have bought it from it's previous owner.
I spent 2 yrs on my Sonic, outside in Fla. Just a bit burnt out still ;)
Keep us posted.

This will replace my 24 Sonic. Bought the wife a cruiser this summer, so I can have something less practical. The Sonic is a great do all boat, but hope the Velocity has more speed potential with equal power.
