I'm figurin' somebody needs fresh motors for the Cobra.

That is one great raceboat for that price. Always tuff to beat.

Someone needs to take it off their hands and race it.

Hell thats a great race boat....and for the price....that boat is also a great p6 boat for beginners..prop her down and you will have a rocket for acceleration...then when you get good at racing you can move up to p5 and just change props and still be compeditive.....

That 25 kicked everone's butt in the Cleveland race in 02...plus you can not find a 29 for this price....that boat also dominated in the Great Lakes Series....
of course a 29 or 30' boat will run better in the big stuff...but you won't touch it in races like Patch, NY, St. Clair, Cambridge, Chatanooga......and you don't have to beef up the HP either....

berns29,

I agree with you that the 29 is an easier boat to drive/throttle. I've been in both as well. When we first got this 25, we were rookies and it took us a few races to figure out how to set-up the boat, of of course drive/throttle it. We struggled early-on for sure.

After we got it figured out, we won almost every race in the Great Lakes for three years against some pretty stiff competition. We also won the Pro F1 race in Cleveland, again against a big field.

Right now my dad runs it two times / year in Poker runs by himself and out runs most of the field.

The problem with the 29 is that it simply isn't as fast as this boat, and if you are talking about P-racing where it's all about acceleration and handling, the 25 is also better due to the wieght.

Yes, you are not going to run 80 in 6 footers with this boat unless you are way better than me - which is entirely possible, but in anything 4ft or less you'll be very competitive.

The bottom line is, this thing has been sitting in our race shop for the past few years, only run once or twice a year in fresh water. We are putting together our auto racing program for next year and need to move this out. That's why we priced it so competitively.

We got a few emails from the auction, interested to know if the boat came with all the spares (lifting straps, jackets, helmets, etc.) - and the anser is yes. No bids however; so if someone is interested they can contact me directly at:
