If that boat is not aailable anymore and you want a great race boat , I have a 2002 Activator 27 foot with 35 hours on it. Sit down set up for 2 with a bench back seat for 3 more if you wanted. Great for Pleasure/Poker runs/Racing.
Has a 500HP Mercury Racing engine.
Activators love all water... snotty or calm.
Let me know for more info...

it is the "GECKO TEQUILA" race boat from OPA & SBI last year.

I have finally gotten a hold of the owner and he is e-mailing me pics later. The hull is a '78 totally redone in '96. Won the '96 and '97 championships. Has not been raced since. Has a #4, bw trans, exhaust, etc. Asking $20,000 w/o power. What do you all think? Boat's older than I would have liked. Any thoughts?

We do a modified sit down.... our seats are at a 45 degree angle. We find it is much more comfortable sitting rather than standing. When we stood we felt like we were going to fly out at any time. The boat has a tendency to chine occasionally. 20K is a good price with a #4 but see if you can talk him down a little. It is a great beginner boat, it's solid as a rock.
Fever mike....yes it is the same company that makes the center consoles......the company was sold years back to a fishing outfit.....word has it that the new owner is looking to get back into offshore stuff.

p.s.- mine is a 1981 and the mission impossible boat is a 1982-they have won a couple times this year in apba. I would not worrk about the age if the boat is in good shape and surveys well

Got in touch with the owner ( Tony of High Voltage Marine) seems like a nice guy. Says hi to the NJ guys, guess he knows you. I'll attach the pics he sent. I think I'm going to pass on it and see if I can find something more usable (you know play on Saturday, race on Sunday!) Although I think that was race on Sunday sell on Monday for you musle car fans.


I'll have to re-fit pics as they are too large.

The Activator is perfect for pleasure and race.
Has a 3 man bench seat in back
Drive & Trim controls custom put in on both sides , so you can run alone or have a throttleman control everything on race day!
Give me a call . We can make the numbers work.
Boat has sat for almost a year make me an offer.
Ask any of the Jersey guys or anyone in APBA... Your not going to beat an activator.
