I think the Aqua toys store is still sitting on one for 3 years now.IMP nice cruzer.They started putting diesels in them.

I would get the 50. Just think get it with 500efis and supercharge them and have a easy 100mph 50 footer. :D

Re: 444 Huntress
 

I was just at Aqua its still there. I recall seeing that boat
with the matching horse few years ago for$750,000.
It is looking a little neglected now.

Re: 444 Huntress
 

I would want to update the motors :eek: You could buy a 50 with sterlings for that.Cumberland had one when I bought mine it had some 1250's I think they said it did 125

Rob- I agree with you guys. Doesn't that boat at Aqua have the Torque V-12's? The original owner of my boat was Mark Rueckwald who had a 50 Hustler with triple Sterlings/#6's. I recall that the motors were putting out 1050hp and it went an honest 120mph. The only people that weren't impressed with it were the people trying to sleep that lived above the marina when he brought it in late at night. Rob, I think I sent you pics of the motors. You might have them in your archives.At the time, the boat was called Cosmic Voyager.

Its the color me bad /gone boat? I heard they had a lot of prob with those v 12' I bet callen has it figured out now . but I also bet its not the same animals. :eek:

Lou I think I have some of the 50 :drink:

Rob :cool:

Re: 444 Huntress
 

I knew you found them in your Cray Computer. How did I know? Our lights dimmed! There's a few bucks in the back of that Hustler. At the time those pics were taken, the boat had not been painted. As for the V-12's.I haven't heard too much since Sterling bought the rights to them. Maybe Ritchie and JC have some info when you see them at PRI. Not a lot of folks know that the Ol drag racer himself, Dick Maskin was one of the designers of that V-12 motor.It was good talking to ya last night. Have a good trip to Orlando. I checked out the PRI video. Very impressive. Give me a call when y'all get back. Lou

Re: 444 Huntress
 

I forgot to answer your question. When Color Me Bad was built, it was one of only a couple of boats built with the Torques. Who knows what's in it now.At least that's what my feeble memory tells me. Maybe Caveman can post some photos of his "project" as it moves along???Lou

Re: 444 Huntress
 

Correction. I just checked my files. Those were 1350 Sterlings in the 50 Hustler.
