If you had the choice????
 

If you had the choice of what boat to buy what would you buy. Catamaran or V-bottom...what bottom conventional or step....cored or solid laminate boat.....epoxy or resin....whatever you guys get the point what would you spend the money on to buy a new boat......Sean

Sean,

In the perfect world everyone would own seven boats.

1) Cat with Big Power
2) 35+ Foot Vee with Big Power
3) Luxury Cruiser with Big Power
4) Power Toons 65MPH+ Party Barge
5) Ski Boat with Big Power
6) Bass Boat with Big Power
7) Blow Boat with Big Diesel Power

In that order.

One thing they all have in comman is "Big Power" LOL

But even though I have not had much experience with cats, The perfect boat if I could have anything would be a large cat with a cuddy.

MIKE'S new 42 OUTERLIMITS low deck with his pair of 1400's in it.:eek: :eek: :eek: :D :D

I'm with Too Old on this one...37' AT w/reliable power, maybe a pristine conventional hull 90s Top Gun (I know it would be a used boat, but new for me :D ) No step, notch, pad, or other BS. I'll take the overnighting goodies though, nothing like a Nantucket, Newport, Martha's Vinyard, Montauk vacation with your own hotel that hauls butt :D

Of course a Catamaran If not one of Mine then Second Choice of a Skater!
And yes cored no discussion there 100%! Now resin system, in the “Room temperature cure World “! There is a nice Dow Vinyl Ester I like, or pick an Epoxy System!:)

And the New Warrior/Apache

S-K-A-T-E-R

I would take a AT with same set up as Jassman, KE 675s or a 38 Fountain or 38 Playboy Cig all with the 675s. I will have one of the mentioned just is going to take a few more years.

Side note, never been in a big cat so??

WILL:p

those 51' OL with quad 1500s might be fun :D

cats are nice cus thier fast. But i need a poon palace and the cabins on the cats are too small for a harem......

Okay.... Okay.... Okay....
>>> 38' Cigarette T/S
Center steer - No cabin
Six-man bolster
675 Eickert's and #6's
OR
>>> Geronimo..???:D :cool:

42'W/ 1300 hp Sterling or KE with Merc NO. 6's BUT with the Training of running such a boat.


Later Sat69

CIG Tiger that is


Later Saat69

Too Old I thought you were gone for the weekend??????

If not please call me as we have a conversation that I would like to have with you waiting.....856 498-9606

Sean

I agree with FeverMike,
Except Mine WILL be a
31ft with a Diesal and a
Splitter Box with 2 IMCO
Drives.
Built one at Team Scarab a
few years ago, Prototype
with 2 Volvo drives.
Sean I think you remember
It.
Mike J.

Donzi 38ZX with twin 1500hp GE turbines and arneson drives!!!

I would go with a bigger cat type boat, faster hull than a V , also you can get great speed with out super big HP. and the big cats eat up the big water! they even have cabins with heads, sinks and many other amenities, just my 2 cents

Easy
 

Rigid/inflatable, outboards on steroids.

Jacques Cousteau usta beat the crap outa 'em.

Run O/B till it's guts is hangin' out,
kick it over the side in 300' of water,
buy another.

Continue till the inflatable is junk.

Boats should be disposable...

A 36 Apache 1/4 cabin stepped with the new merc 525 motor's and turn key.

80 ft Sunseeker with big diesels and the turbine kicker so that boat has a top speed of at least 80 mph

LOL Tinker :D

HEY WERE DREAMING HERE
THE NEXT BOAT MAY BE A 30+ CAT WITH TWIN 750 hp ENGINES.
My wife wants a cruiser but we don't sleep on the boat much any more so why not get a cat with a cabin???

21 Schiada with a 1300 quad rotor big block. Zero to sixty in 5 seconds and a 115 MPH top end with the ability to do 80 MPH plus hair pin corners! This would be a v-drive with a turbo 400 3 speed trans. No more ***** footing around with Bravos. 1300 HP to a vdrive is like a Bravo behind a 350 Mag!!!:D

To Old: I will be in the
North Charleston area Mid
Oct., Navy Stuff, Im Jotting down your Cell #
in case your in the area
around that time.
Would like to meetup if
we can.
Mike J.

Mike J if you're gonna be out here call me 856 498-9606 I'm not far away from you at that point.....As you can see I took your advice and won't be having the 3 am what if syndrome....Too Old I'll give you a call when I have a free moment.....Sean

OK lets play poker boys what if, hypothetically speaking, a 42' boat that ran very well in the rough emerged and performed with the current top dogs.....would anyone have any interest in at least taking a ride with me in it.....I promise I won't throw you out of the boat especially if you have your check book with you...

Hey Sean, I'd love a ride !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers,
Dave.

38 Top Gun. Straight bottom, no pads, no notches, just a proven hull.

Big reliable power. Lots of cubic inch, but no superchargers or Turbos.

Need some cabin space, but with A/C.

Sean, Sounds good.
I plan to go to the "PUSSERS" for dinner there
so perhaps we can meetup
Remember the Chuck Norris
46 Scarab, I did the conversion from race to
Pleasure for the Owner of
Pussers years ago and we
still area friends.
He offered a Job in the
B.V.I. One of my 3am what
ifs.
Mike J.
OH I will call you Ref.
Your OLD Job in SoCal.

I'd gladly go for a ride, but if you saw my check book, you would definitely throw me out. :D

Done call me and we will make a deal stud 856 498-9606 No BS
