If I understand you correctly, the guy that owned the former OSO Black boat (Fast Finance), has another 38 that is Navy and rigged it with 700/NXT's???


I would love to see that, any pictures??

Thanks Pat

The 700/NXT rigging was done by a West Coast boat builder. Owner of the 38PP has a working relationship with a very well known, high quality builder that happened to be local to him. He inquired and they took on the challenge but regularly wouldn't do re-rigging for the general public.

Close but no. Oliver built the black boat and owned it 4 years. After 400 hours/ 10,000 nautical miles he was ready for a new boat (diesel/flybridge cruiser), sold it to OSO, OSO sold it to fastfinance, it sunk, repo'd and national sold it to a guy in Oklahoma who re-rigged it with 500's/Bravo 1s from a burnt Scarab and is trying to resell for 65K........enough of the black 38 PP.

Oliver is good friends with the owner of the navy 38 and it was re-rigged with the 700/NXT's. Oliver has run the boat out west and was extremely pleased with the package. I have seen pics but they were printed pictures not emailed. Oliver probably has more hours in a 38 PP than anyone on the planet and he also had a 33 Sportdeck with outboards. He is a diehard PP fan and can pretty much rattle off any details about any 38 made (only a dozen to memorize). He visited the factory a few times a week when his was being built (only lived an hour away) so he saw many of the 38's progress through the line and got to know many of the owners through the build process.

Thanks...

Thanks Jupiter, If you can get some pics that would be appreciated

JS Sorry I missed your post. That is some nice numbers with that power package!!!! Oliver is the one to know!!!!! Have not talked with him in awhile. That power package came out about 6 months after we finished building the boat, I think, could be wrong!!!. I know for a fact that given more time, there is several more MPH to be had out of DEFY'N GRAVITY. I would not let Dan take the boat out testing without out me on the boat. Robbie

C'mon Robbie...Dan was a piller in the community, salt of the earth kinda guy:eek::rolleyes::party-smiley-004:

I think somebody should break out these molds and start building the 38 and 33 again..One hell of a boat.

Jassman....I agree 100%

Hey Rob!

Ozzie

I concur.... :evilb: :drink: :ernaehrung004:

Pat Sullivan has the molds and will be making them again... i hope!

Pat has been talking about it since he owned the molds:rolleyes:

Oz. Love mine and you still haven't seen it up close.

Is the black one that was rebuilt and for sale in OK a turd, or do you think it cleaned up OK?

Look at the pics on the boattrader ad and notice while underway the gauges. Some work, some don't. I think you will have a lot of shorts, dead electrical in that boat in the near future. I thought 30K was all the money for the hull, 65K is all the money and some........

I noticed that on the guages, and electrical problems are what I am used to anyway, I was more worried about the coring and hull etc. What made it sink to start with?

Back to the guages, why do these morons publish pics like that?

If the speedo is at 33 and one tach is up and not the other you can tell something is wrong.

What about the inconsistant oil pressures between the 2 engines. I bet those things are worn out.

Combination of things:

1. Bad a/c line below waterline
2. Left in water for 3 weeks with no shore power
3. Imminent repo
4. Insurance paid in full
5. Bad luck?

oh when, oh when, will these 38's be built.....

just give him a call and ask.............

The black 38 (LIVE YOUR DREAMS), is back on the water in Oklahoma on Grand Lake..!! It was bought last year in Grove, OK. by a friend of mine.. He sent it to my buddy Brad Smith @ (Smith-Power) over in Joplin, MO. Last winter to be totally re-rigged and new motors built for it and had the XR drives all gone thru, new everything, wiring, shifter cables, throttle cables, etc.. Its a sweet boat and runs great now with 650hp SMITH POWER motors in it. Brad Smith builds some of the sickest marine big H.P. motors on the water these days. His name is all over this website from Grand Lake to LOTO..!! Anyway the boat is back on the lake and totally rerigged by Brad, the boat runs great, we have had it out and running for the past 3 weekends and having a blast driving it.. The boat is for sale for around the $110K-$125K range im not totally positive on a set price yet.

hello sorry i am so late on this. is it still for sale ?

I think everything is for sale for the right price... Defyn gravity was still available last I heard
