Need some information on them


Mike

Martini anyone?
 

Hey there, don't 'runaway' from that one unless it's in poor shape. They are a fairly rare boat said to be a splash of a Magnum hull. I own a 25' and I'm pretty sure forum member JPclear owns one too. I couldn't be happier with it, it's been a long time restoration project for me. Here's some pics of some custom rigging I've done to it over the years.

aluminum lettering...

custom anchor hatches...

martini glass drop-out bolsters in billet aluminum designed and built by yours truly...

aluminum checkerplate dash, simple but effective. I never liked the flat dash on some of the older offshores, too hard to see the guages.

interior shot

I've had my '77 Martini for over 20 years and after MANY modifications and upgrades I really love it. Can do 80+ on gps anytime, not just a good day. I don't think you can PM me cause I haven't paid my $20 but you can e-mail me direct at [email protected] Check my pics in the "Reader's Rides" section. Just what specifically would you like to Know? --- Jer

another interior shot showing the custom holy chit! handle. It keeps the passengers hands where they belong, on the rail and not on the plexi windscreen. It wraps around from the helm to the port passenger seat. It's been very helpful.

Very cool. cb

last pic showing new tabs. I used to have the Bennett dual-ram tabs on my Martini but wanted something a little more effective and aesthetically pleasing so I started building my own replacements for either the Bennett single ram or the dual-ram tab system. Measures 19" overall on the dual ram and made a world of difference. 15" overall on the single version.

If you need any more info drop me a line, I'll try to help any way I can. Thanks, Brian Kamrath

Thank you Big Time

martini- wherebouts in canada do you live??

Martini -

Thats a very similar hull to my 24' Pantera. What props are you running at what RPMs?

Nice tabs by the way!

Martiniboat, very nice I see one one the river where I boat very nice ride. The trim tabs for bennet do you make them? price? Great work.

Twinn29- I hail from Brussels, Ont. I know, I know, where the he$$ is Brussels you ask,:D It's about 2.5-3 hrs. W of Toronto.


Pantera- EXACTLY what I thought too. I couldn't see any differences. At least in photos from the net. I asked that question awhile ago. Apparently the Pantera folks say its not the same hull. I run a 22P Bravo1 up to 5200RPM.

Mark, thanks for the compliment. To answer your question, no, I'm not associated with Bennett at all. I'm just building a KOOL retrofit trim tab to replace the stock Bennett dual and single ram trim tab system. They bolt right up to the original mounts/holes.

Sincerely,
Brian Kamrath

P.S. Almost forgot, the price for the dual ram version in black is $399pr/CDN. $30 extra for ANY colour and I can match any sample that you may have. $379pr for single ram version. I'm 'holding' my prices down for this boating season so I can get things moving. They'll be going up in April.

I would like a 26 Corsa hull for outboards for 2x 2.5 Mercs.

Jeff,
You should check out the Boats For sale section on this forum. There is a 2001 Activator 27' for sale.
It is setup for outboards.

thanks but I'm in Fl. where boats like the one I described are a dime a dozen, well between $2500 - $5000 Thanks

Hey Jeff, I have one of those!

Well, it's a 30' Corsa. It used to have triple 300 Johnsons on it back when it was running guns to Cuba. It'll be a great project.
