And the dash of the previously posted 27 (new).

Thanks for the compliment, Warpaint.
The controls on the 18 footer are chrome-style Gaffrig duals. This boat still flat RIPS! Volvo AQ311 engine/drive with 307hp stock and a 290 outdrive. Bulletproof for 10 years with 65 mph all day. See the Sutphen group for more pics!

Here is another Sutphen, "Dollar Bill."

It is a bad pic, but I didn't want to take it out of the old album, shows you how old it is!

Great Adventure Sutphen, P-1.

Hope no one minds, but here is the original "Great Adventure" Cigarette. 1977.

Too Old-
Found this one just for you. Dad had just bought it that day, the next day it became Magic "J"

LS JR.

I like.

That was a 26 Sutphen "Rum Runner". Rides like a 30.

Fred, I see you have been taking some heat for logging the most hours while boating in the garage :D

I`ve got a friend who has a 1983 30' Sutphen 'Ocean Pacer' He bought it new and it has less than 50 hrs on it! This boat is absolutely perfect and has NEVER been left outside overnight. The only time it`s seen the light of day is when on the extremely rare occasion that it actually gets used. (1996 I believe) good thing its inside because it`s all black gel. powered by 454/370`s with TRS drives. kind of a shame but he just enjoys looking at it along with his other toys.

The next time I`m down to Mass, I`ll take a few pics for this thread.

Great pics folks, love the classics!

Kurt :cool:

Inferno
 

personal fave...:cool:

another shot...:cool:

Where are the "Buckshot" pictures? That boat was BadA$$

Here's a neat shot of a Sutphen Grand Sport 18. From Jim's old Mopar page with 340ci and a Volvo drive. Nice!

And the stern at idle...

I've got a few.....

:cool:

Inferno
 

Fred,

I think it's still available..it's owner "spyguy" is very busy and is tough to get in touch with.....he checks in on the board once in awhile.....

Marty

*his website is www.SPECIALIZEDGUARD.com

I`ve got a bunch of pics of Inferno taken at the 1990 Newburyport Grand Prix, Newburyport, Massachusetts. I`ll try to scan them.

Sweeet!!! That's just like my old boat. Mine was a 1972 and I had it for 14 years (redid it twice).

Who can scan some pics of it for me?

Craig

Craig - Visit a copy store and have them burn on a CD...or send me a personal message and I'll send my address. Let's keep it rolling! Great post...

I saw this boat this summer in boston , it is beautiful!!!

Impulsive - Which boat did you see in Beantown?

sutphen 30's boat

I'll do that! Have to go thru the albums tonight.

I got a question for you guys:

Which was the first Sutphen built? Anyone know.

LS JR.

Great thread Fred, just tuned in......someone was talking about the "Real McCoy" boat earlier......the owner Bob McCoy owns a cement company about 3 miles up the road from here.......he is my personal boating hero!!!!!.....his 39ft Sutphen is powered by twin 900SCs with number six drives and Bob is over 70 years old!!!!.......I hope Im doing that when I get to be his age......Bob ROCKS!!!!!!:cool: :cool: :)

Oh and what in gods name is the guy doing in the background of post 252???????

I'm sure my friend Jamie would like you to think he's simply making a personal adjustment, but I think that was some type of supersoaking squirt gun. Bass Lake California, 2002.

The start of a race in Manhattan. Great Adventure, US-1

LS JR.

Please start.....Please start.....

LS JR.

Too Old-
The Sutphen pics are for you! Nice to know another Sutphen lover.

LS JR.

We're goin racin...Cya!

LS JR.

Great Adventure, US-1.

LS JR.

I dare say......... Lucky Strike SR. and JR. have a collection of pics that rivals Lucy and T2X. Will this turn into a picture marathon?......

We're looking to get the OffshoreOnly best picture collection of the year. HAHA. We haven't touched the surface yet.

I know we didn't waste all that money on film for nothing.

Here is another Sutphen.

This is great. Thanks guys. :cool:

It was me about Bob...I'm just over the border in Watertown N.Y. Doesn't (didn't) Bob have more than one?...including the boat I spoke of with 750's and 6's that was over here at Hutchinson's in the Bay on brokerage? I may have misunderstood who's boat it was. It was showing like 50-60 hours on an alum trailer, all white with a simple single stripe. The drives were purple/or magenta? I think. Oh well...great thread! Love classic offshore!

Sutphen going down...Sorry for the bad pic.

LS JR.

Borrowed Stan's truck. Asked him for the boat but he said no. :D :D
