I would love to see that, any pictures??

Thanks Pat

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.

Oliver said it was the perfect power combo after running for 100 miles at WOT.

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
