Race boat for sale
 
I spoke with Kevin 3 days ago. The race boat is for sale. Sorry to see it but its a sign of the times. Quent

lavey jr 01-10-2010 11:30 PM

The boat is actualy in the shop right now waiting for someone to fund it's repairs and for sale and owned by LAVEY.

Hot Duck 01-13-2010 04:09 PM

That is a great looking boat. I was thinking that if you add AC it would make a nice boat just to have some fun in. It would be perfect for some of the local poker runs when the family does not want to go. Heck, I could even use it to go to work in. I have a lift at home and a marina across the street from work. It's only a 20 mile run, but it is all inland and it would certainly make it a pleasure to go to work each day!! I have done that with some of the center consoles in the past, but it is too much of a hassle to do it with the Top Gun every day. This boat is a 28? Is that correct?

lavey jr 01-14-2010 01:48 PM

That would definatly be cool to have it as a pleasure boat with AC in it.
And yes it is 28' 6" and runs low 90's with a 525
Lavey also makes a pleasure version with an open top and with an ilmor 710 it will run 105mph...

BRUCE SEROFF 01-15-2010 03:11 PM

I dont think it ever ran low 90s with a 525, AC will most certainly rob power.

im hearing rumors the boat may be coming back out to race this year. Im also hearing it might be up for sale.

GoFastSonic 01-15-2010 03:40 PM

Hey Bruce

Was that a good boat in your class?

What is something like that worth?

BRUCE SEROFF 01-15-2010 03:52 PM

It Did better in the rough than flat. Rolled a few times too. couldnt say what it would be worth. Its a good lookin boat. Vee lites are for sale right now any where from 50k to 70k. I hear the Wild Ride Boat (2005 Extreme) can be bought race ready, with all the trimmings for 75 k

Actually according to this it did run low 90's

BRUCE SEROFF 01-15-2010 04:12 PM

believe what you want. big difference running kilo set up vs race or pleasure setup. Im sure Miklos, Mazakowski, and any other vee lite team would challenge that accomplishment ie: Chatanooga Tn 2007

First you say -

"I dont think it ever ran low 90s with a 525, AC will most certainly rob power. "

I show you the record speed, and trophy.

Now you say " believe what I want?"

That Lavey 2750 is a race boat, not a pleasure boat. I dont think thats debated.

Im sure other guys have run faster, but none in 2006 and I nor you can take away what already been proven and recorded.

Well I'm sorry but I have personaly driven that boat with a 525 and about 50 gallons of gas in it and hit 91. But believe what you want...

And yes, this boat will return to racing IF the funds are provided and it will most likely be up for sale when everything is figured out...

BRUCE SEROFF 01-15-2010 08:44 PM

best of luck to you. We look forward to your return to racing.

Aqua Banshee 01-20-2010 07:24 PM

At 91 mph that is still off the pace by 2-5 mph in flat water. If it can peak 91mph, than it can't hold that speed very long.

Centsless 01-25-2010 10:44 AM

speed is 1 aspect of racing not necessarily all aspects of racing......

Hot Duck 02-09-2010 04:58 PM

Wow. I didn't mean to start a fight. I just wanted more pics of the boat and wanted to find out where it was. I still think it would make a great little pleasure boat with a few minor mods. Any cockpit pictures?

JPD Motorsports 02-09-2010 05:21 PM

did you guys ever build the twin race boat? Hot Duck that boat is cool. Was in Key West when it went over, it rolled all the way, they kept on runnen ol Princess dave and KC....

If by the twin race boat you mean a Super Vee then no we didn't. We built a 39' twin stagger setup boat and it has a half canopy. If anybody ever wanted to race it in the Super Vee class Lavey would be more than happy to build a top for it and make it a race boat...

That would be pretty sick to be able to commute to work in a raceboat!!
The boat is under the Lavey roof now so if interested, give them a call at the shop.

105 would be a fun ride:drink:

Wow, I thought that this thread had completely died. I'm glad that I came back to check it! Thank you all for the pictures and other comments. I just put a deposit on a 76 x 80 toy garage so this might be the wrong time for me to grab another boat, but I will certainly call them this week for the info. Thanks again to everybody for the help.
