i started off thinking about a 22 classic. my uncle had one which ran 78mph with 502 mag, very fun boat. so the two ends of the spectrum for me are 22 classic and 36 gladiator. my 370ss is bad ass, ran 62mph on her best day and 58mph all day long, full fuel and hot chicks... i got the speed bug im not quenching on my weekend trips, so need to find that and rip around. you guys are throwing some good ones to look at, for a second boat im thinking $65k max

Superboat Y2K. ,great running boat, I wish I didn't sell it.......

Another good one would be a bat boat. Very unusual and fast.

C Spray on here is selling his, not sure what he wants but it is sick!

725 Ilmor, Indy drive and owned and build overseen by a former Penske Indy Car Racing Team manager and engineer (two of a dozen different titles he held).

progression great boat

[ATTACH=CONFIG]528554[/ATTACH]. 27 Progression

Nice boat, but no need for cabin I would prefer to be unfinished.

Phantom!! Yes I'm biased.

Don't think this qualifies as a deep vee, it's not a 24 right?

I always thought the Pantera 28 would be a great sit down boat because of the lack of freeboard, has anybody ever seen one done that way?

Came across this listing " PRICE REDUCED 38 Activator Poker Run" anybody know about this boat and model? i cant find much info out there and seems like alot of boat for the $$$$$

Yes there was a thread in the Panters section where one was converted. Much better setup imo.

I also converted my 24 but modified the current bolsters.

Actually I think it is a 24, maybe a 22.

IMO 2750 Laveycraft and 27 & 30 Activators. Been in & driven the Lavey but only watched the Activator run through out many years.

Yes, That is a good boat. Built right. I am friends with the original owner of that boat. The main reason why its there is because people are probably I little nervous about bravos & 700's. IMO I think its a pretty good buy. Not many 38's are in that price range. Especially that will run that good and that have 700's.

how about that model in general, I can not find any reviews or info at all. Who's mold is that?

Activator makes a SOLID boat that can take abuse. Their very well known for their 27 single that kicked azz in F1 racing.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]528742And they still do :) Here's one two weeks ago raced and won :) A single 8.2L HO /430hp are Close to 90 mph.

Mange,

Did you change the bottom at all to get those speeds? I thought a 500EFI pushed that hull a little over 80mph. Very impressive!

superboat y2k

430hp close to 90mph?? no way

Mange does your Mercruiser 8.2 L - 430 hp come with a catalyst exhaust system or are you able to get a non CAT version shipped from Mercruiser or is this totally different not the standard 8.2 that is offered here in the states ? Thanks and hello. John

Actually like 87mph - I'm sure he will pass 90 in A near future ;) The White #194 27 Activator with STOCK 496HO / 425hp we had to 85-86mph last year :) Thats fact!

Ask rageman28 - he know's Everything about our work with the 27's

Hi, long time :)

The black boat has different angles on both steps and padded A feet front of the mid step. But keep in mind our boats are much lighter than the original US-boats :)

Hi John, this boat has A 8.2L stock NON catalyst exhaust. Actually 525 CMI headers coated black :)

I have a 27 with 1100hp . Boat is rock solid at 115

Mange thanks for quick reply. I thought it was a non CAT. We can not get a NON Cat complete engine set up here in the states from OEM Merc.. Also can you tell us how much lighter your boats are compared to Marks ? Thanks and you build a great looking boat. Seen some of the pics on facebook and here now - looks like it handles very well plus flies very level in the rough. keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.

Mange, care to let us in on the status of your boat (the one in your avitar photo) - the engine looks good, runs well I hope?
I have hull #3, yours is #4 :cool-smiley-027:

29 OL Hull is fantastic
