need your opinion on Kryptonite
I found one that we are going to buy and I have been trying to research all I can. we are buying it with out the motor and I just want to know what you think as far as resale. I would love to race and I tease Ron, but I don't think he would ever let me so this boat we will play with and then sell it. anything that you know about them would be great. If there is anything negitive feel free to send me a PM, just alittle nervous on this buy.
Thanks K

Re: need your opinion on Kryptonite
Talk to Typhoon, like Scott said the boat runs great. A customer of ours with a 2003 29' with a 525 with a 2" shorty will run 88-89. The new ones need to add a considerable amount of weight to make the minimum weight for the F1 class. Without all that wieght the boat runs considerably faster.

I have that 2003 29' with a 525 with a 2" shorty, and I can confirm the numbers (when run without added weight - dry weight, fully rigged is approx 4000 lbs.) Excellent boat! And Kirk (owner of Kryptonite) is an excellent guy. PM for details.

Thanks ScottB, Throttle up and Peconic.
heading out the door to go make the deal we will be back on Thursday if all goes right will post pic's of the new toy. Funny thing is we bought a bullet in the fall and it has yet to hit the water but I am more excited to drive this one.......

Re: need your opinion on Kryptonite
You cant go wrong with a Kryptonite. I have the first one ever built and it has 70 plus hard races on her. 4 World Championship wins and memories that will last a life time. Value is priceless. Have fun.

Re: need your opinion on Kryptonite
Thanks for all the input. we got her home last night here are some pic's.
some of you guys should know this boat.
we can't wait to put it on the water and see what type of speed we get.
I was asking Arnaldo how she lands and that we would send him some air shots...
Typhoon
any pointer's you can share would be great.
