I have seen it run and heard it up close at the docks..It's everything you think it would be. I think this is the third or fourth " Jaws " isn't it?

I think 3rd.... yea very cool boat to have local to us, you would think with the coin Dennis has it would have a boathouse to keep it clean!!

That's at least the 4th jaws. My guess would be as follows

1st: 39' Ocean Express. This one was originally white w/ blue and red accents... This goes back to the lat 80s / early 90's. I remember seeing the boat at CP boat show. This was also the boat in the Fast Boats video.
2nd: 46' Ocean Express. This one has been repainted blue & silver. I believe this one is at Wesseldyk's place

3rd: 46' Skater race boat. This boat was at the last Chicago Poker Run. I beleive its currently at Wesseldyk's

4th: 50' Quad MTI

I wouldn't be surprised if there was another OE included in there...

The 48 Ocean Express Jaws after Dave Wesseldyk did a refit.

The boat is currently for sale: http://marinetechnologyinc.com/2013/11/2009-mti-55/
The gentleman selling it is named Dennis Kaiser, I am beyond excited to see what he has up his sleeve to out do what he had. Seeing the 55' in person is truly an honor and a true achievement in marine technology ;)

I rarely see the boat ran, it cant have many hours on it..... I boat past it most weekends... always on the lift...

Yeah I live down the street from him in the nor Easter club, kinda sad because he is never out talking to neighbors or anything. Only time I see him is when taking jaws out or driving his Ferrari 458 Italia or Porshe Cayenne Turbo S to CIC. (Both beautiful cars btw ;) )

Full Force 07-23-2014 08:49 PM

I have seen him around 20 years, never said hi.....

Do you live on Coho Dr?

Dennis is a very nice guy... He is certainly not afraid to talk boats... He didn't run the 55 all that much. We built him a 42 CC about a year ago. His CC is at his house in Naples FL (phenomenal house) and the 55 is in storage in Ohio.
The 55 has been lightly used and few total hours. Yes, its for sale, but not on a fire sale...:cool::cool:

Old video from 2012
 
Just came across this post. See it's still kinda going so figured I'd add an old video of Jaws running from 2012.

Can't post links yet so have to copy and paste. Use https......photos.app.goo.gl/vxyGTcUsMo42y1JV7
