47 OL XXX - For sale... Info Requested Please...
 

I see that the old XXX boat has been for sale for a little while now. Recently redone interior and paint. Currently has no motors but available from a couple of brokers with different power combinations. Price keeps on dropping...

Does anyone have any info on the boat. Why was it redone? Are there any problems with the hull? How does it run? What happened to the original motors?

I am currently shopping for a new boat, and any info would be much appreciated.

PM Cashbar

Love that boat... seems like a decent deal unless I'm missing something. Pretty limited pool of buyers, I suppose.

Call terry sobo at nortech

Reason why it's only been for sale a "little while" now.

Almost 2 yrs !!!!! LOL :lolhit::party-smiley-004:

A friend made them a reasonable offer and they didn't even respond, must not want to sell it very bad

:blaster: doesn't surprise me 1 Iota.. LOL

Thanks for the reply. Ill give Terry a call.

I see that Nor-Tech installed a set of underwater exhaust.

The boat looks nice, but I would have left the original paintjob.

Has the boat been in any accidents? Why did they re-do everything? The boat had allot of history, I would have throught that would have helped sell the boat.

If you like race boats, it would still be a nice boat with like 725 ilmors, you could still get into it ready to roll for 250k , it is a full carbon boat would be a disadvantage with the ride.

It was and has always been more of a pleasure boat than a race boat.

I'm looking at several GTXs right now with no power. Would want to install Sterling 1550s.

Im in no rush, as my boating season is over untill May.

I want to make up my mind on what route ill go in by next month.

Thanks for the info from everyone.

What? That boat was built to break speed records. I think you are losing it. :D

Paul it was built as a poker run boat. It was built just like all the other 47 GTX's not a special one off. It had a full dash and a five man interior.

Rumor has it.. SOLD

Proud new owner
 

I am the proud new owner. I'm on the hunt for a deal on some motors. The boat is very sweet.

Congrats Glenn! How did your Fountain turn out? Keeping it as well?

Thanks. The Fountain is just awesome. I put 1075's in it and it runs like a scorned dog. Yes I am keeping it. My wife is thrilled....lol.

Congrats on the purchase! Now bring it down to LOTO sometime to show it off! :coolcowboy:

If you need any info on the boat feel free to call us at the factory. 401-253-7300

Glenn, I don't think you have enough boats.

Thanks very much.

I seem to be better at buying than selling. Starting a navy.....very fast navy.

Ha, yeah buying is definitely the easy part.

TV Program
 

I remember seeing a tv program a few years back on XXX. Does anyone know how to find the episode?

Hey Glen what kind of numbers are you getting out of your fountain ?

I dont think I have that anywhere but let me double check. I believe it was on the History channel on a Modern Marvels segment.

GLENN YOU ARE MY HEREO!!

Congrats!!!

I knew you going to buy it, besides jeff has nothing better to do than rig another boat ha. congrats

I have a like new set of 2009 merc 1075's with 38 hours on em. Also a set of CMI headers that came off a 47 gtx. 80k for everything

Nice buy!

I think he is exited about this project as I am. Boat looks great. Just need motors. I hope to have some this week.

What kind of power are you looking for?

Congrats Glenn!

Didn't it come with a dually trailer? If so, how did it tow? just curious?

What part of the Great White North are you from, eh?

Michael

Congrats, you have quite the stable!

I'm looking for 1200 blower motors. I do not have access to race fuel where I go so it needs to run on pump gas. I also need trannies and headers.
