Hate to say it, but a clean used one is maybe a "bargain" at $125-150 ...
MDS Price a new one and you grasp for breath. Joe |
Joe, that’s a beauty!
Paint job looks 10 years newer than engines. Do you remember the serial number? |

Joe I have line-by-line pricing from when mine was built at the turn of the century. Would be interesting to compare that to a new build, and then compare the price increase to overall inflation. |
Funny.
As I’m writing about inflation, two Americans next to me in an elevator in Poland are talking about the price of eggs. |

Yep. That's what they were talking about. Down from 7 dollars a pack to 5 dollars, I heard.

It still has the early release 280s that I got in 97' and we took it for a rip together last year during shootout week at LOTO. He has kept it close to perfect "I was really glad to see how nice it still is-that was my dream boat when we built it new". Joe |

I think its a 94'. The boat started out as the Spirt of Houston, it was re-done by Kirk Jurnick in Illinois, then to a friend of his Dan, then to Dave Ziebilski, then I got it, and now a friend of mine North of Tampa has it.

We had a 91' (factory built) 24' with triple 2.5s. I understand everything you experienced and then some lol....The 24s and 28s were way ahead of their time. Absolutely priceless memories were created-
Most recent 28 that we had in the fleet (I do miss it) https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...24d363a56c.jpg Joe |

It was NOT practical at all but we had a lot of fun when it was calm. If we would have had 15" motors to bring the CG down, taller gearing, and better propellers like today, it would have been the ultimate "small weapon". It would accelerate with anything (like Jim's 28') and that was back when 110 mile per hour boats were rare. Under 35 mph it was a train wreck... The lake we lived on (direct access to Lake Michigan) was no wake for anything over 26 feet. After we got this one and a couple other 24s they threatened to make it 24 and under LOL... We never got beat by anything close to its size and man did like fuel and the sound was 2nd to none unless it was near your house!! Joe |
