I used to see this boat run around the Ft. Myers Beach/Sanibel, Florida area. It was owned by the Younquist brothers. The 39 Sutphen had 1100 Chiefs/# 6's that did 105 mph. They also had a 36 Skater with the same powertrain that did 150 mph.

I bought the boat minus drives and power. I have bought #6 transom assemblies and will be re assembling the boat with pretty much the way it was but with normally aspirated power. Should make a nice package.:D |

Fred that thing is bad a$$! Doesn't look like enough of a project for you though. What you have in mind? Paint? Crazy interior?
I'd leave it just like that! |
Originally posted by Too Old I'm thankful to Parnell for making the effort. It's a boat I really wanted to own. :cool: |
Here's a silly question
If you had a 105mph 39' Sutphen,,, why would you buy a 41' Saber?
|
Good plan Fred, maybe when you are down with this one I will be ready. Then again, I doubt it, you seem to be really going thru them this past while!

The saber is a project I already started when I made an offer on the drivetrain in the sutphen. When I realized the many months it was going to take to rebuild my 41 I bought the whole boat so I would have something to run. This thing absolutely rocks in calm water. Best exceleration I have ever felt in a boat like this bar none. My saber is a 41 apache hull that weighs 11,000 and all I care about is pounding big water. If any of you have ever seen wicked won you might understand the reasoning. :D
Fred will not believe how great it is to have 6's and with even 700 naturally aspirated motors this boat will be outstanding. Fred, enjoy and give me a call this week. NK:cool: |
