new 28 Joker
 

I'll post some more pics later. Getting them resized.

Re: new 28 Joker
 

Tease :d

Re: new 28 Joker
 

Is it rigged? or was it sold as was...

btw... nice cover! :D

Re: new 28 Joker
 

The customer (Enzo) is rigging. We installed the Premier sit downs and we'll have the new custom back seat from Premier early next week. I know Enzo bought a bunch of stuff from Trick. I'm as excited as the customer.

Re: new 28 Joker
 

Sweet......Inzo has some very nice hardware on the way to finish the boat. :)

The hull looks great!

Re: new 28 Joker
 

I have seen that yellow boat in person at several stages along the way. I saw it with the interior bolsters in it last week and it will be an awesome boat when rigged and running.

Now get the next one done....................... :D

Re: new 28 Joker
 

I like how the deck hatches are fiberglass and fit flush with the deck.

Re: new 28 Joker
 

We're such a small company , we haven't had the opportunity to rig a boat with every bell and whistle(mostly race boats built). Hopefully that day is around the corner. We took this boat to Premier Performance Interiors in Sarasota and they made templates for future complete interiors. Many thanks to Trick , Jim @ Premier, this board and my silent partner David Goode who lurks here often!

Re: new 28 Joker
 

I've been to PPI, they make some nice stuff there. I had them make a couple seats for my Donzi there. They do the interiors for several manufactorers.

Seats

Re: new 28 Joker
 

The nice thing about that boat is i'll get to ride in it ........

Re: new 28 Joker
 

I can't wait to see it pull into the marina :D :evilb:

Re: new 28 Joker
 

Does it have "Mind Control" steering? :eek:
Looks good!

Re: new 28 Joker
 

Very nice Brian!

Re: new 28 Joker
 

The owner is going to rig it....it was his choice.

Re: new 28 Joker
 

Power will be 800+ HP. A customer of mine went 104 mph w/ 850. Should be fast.

Re: new 28 Joker
 

Those seats look awesome in there....post more pics when the rest of the interior gets in.

Re: new 28 Joker
 

Some more pics

Brian~

Be sure and get some good shots of the interior - finished. Curious to see what the room and layout will look like.

Looks awesome so far.

Brian,

Looks great!...your boyz ate up that Big Water in OC this weekend...Very Impressive!

Marty

:cool:

Re: new 28 Joker
 

I did see that. I was just making one of my typical "smart-ass" comments, and it wasn't meant to be taken seriously. If I could figure out how to squeeze one of Brian's boats into my budget, I would. I like the structural design used and it looks very effective for maintaining hull integrity in rough water conditions. I also like the flush deck hatch design. It compliments the boat nicely.

Re: new 28 Joker
 

Yea we're curious too - haha. Never had a back seat like this one installed. This boat will not have coaming pads ,etc. Premier made the templates but we chose not to put them in this boat.

Re: new 28 Joker
 

It's funny we're R&D'ing interiors , seats etc. We've been eating up big water for a long time. My plan was always to prove ourselves 1st in racing and then develop the bling stuff. I am one proud papa. Thanks for all the comments. Oh yea and my hat is off to Warren and Mack for their great win in Ocean City. That was unbelieveable.

Re: new 28 Joker
 

Any pics of their run?

Re: new 28 Joker
 

Go to racers milling and then to OPA / ORL . Watch the video of the finish. Probally the closest finish in history.

Re: new 28 Joker
 

Back seat is in.

Re: new 28 Joker
 

Boat looks fantastic!!! :D

Re: new 28 Joker
 

Thanks. The seats are being mounted in now. In pics David just sat them in place. I have a great partner!

Re: new 28 Joker
 

Brian, The boat and interior look sweet. PPI did the interior for an Apache I restored. Jim is a great guy to deal with.They are usually very busy, so it was great they helped a one off guy like me.

What motors have you tested in your boat? As a suggestion, consider building a basic boat with perhaps a 496 HO , and price it right. Superboat builds their 30' Y2K that way and they have a wait list.

BODYSHOT1 - this was Daytona 2001

Re: new 28 Joker
 

Brain
The boat looks Great . Can you give use a price with a 525 efi and speed.

Dave

Re: new 28 Joker
 

Great, another boat to add to my wishlist :eek:

Re: new 28 Joker
 

SuncoastDave:

Speeds with a 500 efi are high 70's , like 78.9 to be exact when I raced Factory 1. That's at race weight though. Should see close to 83-84 w/ 525(never had a 525 in our boat). The 28 Joker is a serious rough water boat though , runs more like a 35 footer due to the cockpit set back. Check PM.

Re: new 28 Joker
 

It's a shame it wasn't rough out there that weekend :rolleyes:

Didn't think we'd make it back in with Barkley :drink:

Re: new 28 Joker
 

Dave
I don't have the new JOKER, but I have the predecessor to it when it was built as PROTOTYPE. It's rigged with a 500efi and full interior -cocpit/cabin. Speeds are 74-75gps with 1/2 tank gas, rafts, clothes, cooler etc. The boat handles exceptionally well in rough water. I would NOT HESITATE to buy a new JOKER in the future especially with the improvements Brian has implemented. That interior is outstanding! Wouldn't mind upgrading to that this winter.

By the way...we're in the middle of a new motor build up for the boat to install this winter. 550+ cu.in. + 1071blower=850-900HP. Can't wait to see how she runs. Just picked up an extension box as well.

Re: new 28 Joker
 

But we did, and that is what matters :D getting through The Cut, was just the begining.That was some big water...but a lot of fun.....

Re: new 28 Joker
 

No doubt :drink: Hell I was Black and Blue from head to toe after that weekend...

What's the word on the restaurant?

Re: new 28 Joker
 

Doug,

We are Master Planning the whole 26 acres into a New Waterfront Resort, starting from the ground up. Residential, Restaurant, Retail, and Marina. The Restaurant will be out on the Point with 180 degrees view of lake with Decks & Patios, and the fuel dock as a long Pier in front. Hopefully will have plans and drawings at the January Boat Show. Call me for your Free Tickets. Barkley :D

Re: new 28 Joker
 

Sounds Great! Will do. Hopefully you'll be able to do the live band deal, and have some adult beverages available as well!

Take Care
