I have to say I own three Of my Four all time favorites
1. 41. Apache
2. 38. Cigarette Flat Deck
3. 27. Magnum
4. Any Donzi 22 to 16 feet.

Unfortunately only one of them is actually working at this particular time , bummer. .

Lottery money ...
Turbine mystic aka the old geico boat
Zimmerman turbine ... Would have to put a big "L" where the "S" is
And I would run the he!! Out of it on every poker run
Honorable mention 194mph Mercedes Benz piston boat!
All these boats have beautiful lines

bwd 08-18-2013 08:16 AM

1- 39 Phantom with at least 1000's
2- 40 Fountain Twisted Metal aka Miccosukee

turbo rr 08-18-2013 08:54 AM

I like those classic 40' skaters! That is the only boat I would sell my boat for. Or, Maybe a 38 Mares Cat. It is a tad bit slow, but you have the best of both worlds. Nice cabin.

242LS 08-18-2013 11:19 AM

A boat that runs.

Keith Atlanta 08-18-2013 12:18 PM

The Cintron boat has been around for what, 5+ years now?

Every time I see that boat it just looks like its getting the job done. Looks fast, is fast, heck it looks fast on the trailer...

Perfect Storm 08-18-2013 07:47 PM

BLee's Boat hands down for me... Fell in love with it at the 2012 Miami Boat Show.

24 Sunsation Rocket :drink:

Any of the old school Flat Deck Scarabs, Cigs, Skaters.

33 Powerplay

32 Sunsation Dominator

TeamSaris 08-18-2013 08:02 PM

40 Skater. Proportionally the most gorgeous boat in the world...perhaps tied with a 27 Magnum, 21 Challenger and 33 PowerPlay.

nkosi 08-18-2013 10:05 PM

Cig Tiger T/S. Just love the lines. IMO, one of the best looking performance boats ever made.

Dukedonzi 08-18-2013 10:49 PM

New school:
Donzi 35/38zr
37AT
35 Outlaw

Old school:
38 Top Gun
33 Fountain Lightning

Any School... 50 Mystic with turbines

ICDEDPPL 08-18-2013 11:33 PM

speicher lane 08-19-2013 06:41 AM

pretty much any SKATER Cat or V - Classic raised or flatdeck

Apache's 41
Cigs Cafe's and TG - with conservative paint scheme's...

... and whatever Flight Club is either building or playing with!

Sydwayz 08-19-2013 07:19 AM

I can like a lot of different boats, it just depends on how they are done.

However, sound is something that just sticks out to me and there are two boats as such that I will never forget:

1) 38 Top Gun which was OldSchool's and now Kreed's; but back before Craig owned it. It had 1200s and passed us at full tilt on a narrow section of the James River, right next to an industrial plant. The sound and echo is something that is etched permanently into my brain.

2) 38 Top Gun which used to belong to Kevin Schulte. We were at Phil's place; and Phil fired the boat up on the trailer under the awning. The 750 Zul tunnel rams sounded like a NASCAR fleet going through a long aluminum tunnel. On the sea-trial, Kevin was up front with Phil, and I was in the back with his now wife, Kelly. The sound that those motors made with Phil running the ever living snot out of that boat was another brain etching moment.

glassdave 08-19-2013 07:54 AM

27 Magnum Sport
39 Phantom canopy super vee
the 41 Apache that Koss did and is now the 41 Pantera (may be one of the best looking boats ever)

1+ on the Palmer Johnson! About 10 years ago I was stationed in Sturgeon Bay for three years. And bought my first house there, It was about 1/4 mile down the street from the factory.

n20michael 08-19-2013 08:33 PM

Pretty much ANYTHING by Statement or Outerlimits (-:

paintman 08-19-2013 08:41 PM

Not hijack thread maybe we should have a best sounding boat and for me that is sorcerer

But to answer this forums question: 'Bull Roar' - and yes I know it's for sale... just can not swing a fourth boat.

40 or 46 Skater flat decks with wrap around windshields

FlyenBrian 08-20-2013 09:04 PM

Old school Formula 402...just to add another to the list. When one of these 1st appeared at the LOTO, all black with a touch of gold, it was like something from another planet. Still a great looking shape. http://www.boatingbroadcast.com/ads/CharlesBlickle_02/

way2fast 08-21-2013 08:25 AM

great thread.
The early mistresses with the perfect flat deck and low screen
The 38KV of course with the black deflector the original 38 Flat DECK CIG.
the original cc stinger 39 with timber capping windscreen
and the outrageousness of the 402 SR-1 will never be matched again especially with its interior...

dont make em like that anymore..... resin buckets low n slow and very shameless.
Who cares if you cant get across the lake at mach 10 when you built like a tank... the caddy ride is unquestionable and when a bit of chop comes up well....
cant live in the past I guess. If i had to choose a boat today I think the donzi's are pretty nice and of course the 42x is cool.
the 50 marauder a good looking boat but id be a bit embarassed to own one... look a bit silly??

Club Drew 08-21-2013 07:53 PM

42' Fountain!New style1075#6 staggered set up!

deemo99 08-21-2013 08:55 PM

This thread haunts me! The list could go on and on....

PJ is working on a new yacht that is all carbon fiber and looks really cool. Drove by it today and took a peek since the doors were open, I'll try to snap one and post a quick hijack.

Should have listed a Sea Ray 630 Super Sun Sport with arnie's, growing up that was always a treat to see on the water. 50 knots and a rooster tail that does not lie.

Nickotine 08-28-2013 03:01 PM

Probably a tad unrealistic, BUT just use your imagination. a 46 Rough Rider with staggered 2000hp Sonny racing motors and surface drives. Pretty sure you'de shatter the ear drums of innocent resturant patrons within a mile radius everytime you start it up lol

CH1P 08-28-2013 03:50 PM

Speed Racer Gonna miss that one.

32 Active Thunder 08-28-2013 04:37 PM

Bayliner Cobra 125 force outboard!!

32 Active Thunder 08-28-2013 04:39 PM

I would go Miami Vice Scarab for old school, New 37 Active thunder for current and of course to live on a sunseeker
