Default 1992 kevlar 38 top gun at pier 57

Anyone see the 38 kevlar top gun recently listed on Pier 57 website for $39,999

Below the name "SPEED" on the back it looks like it says its from Miami beach Florida, anyone know the boat?

The motors look like they have been upgraded with Blower Shop 250's, they should make some nice power with that setup but proubably too much for the Bravo 1's

None the less thats ALLOT of boat for the money

Power seems like a nice upgrade if done right: 39,000 seems like a low target price

The drawbacks on the boat I would say are the Bravo I's with that power. Straight Bottom Top Gun Bravo boats above stock power are Bravo Eaters.

The Purple Dash, The Half Cabin, The Paint (Somone might like this scheme, never know?)

Black Gauges, Throttles, no carpet.

However 39,000 grand and some hard work, you could probably update it on your own pace. But as we all know, it ads up quickly.

I am sure it will sell quick, since they finance and take trades, not much to get into a 38 foot cig. And have a wave crusher

Would look better with the blue stripe and red cig lettering removed. Looks clean and it is a Lip Ship. Bravos will be short-lived on this boat.

Glad to see the Halo Max drive showers on the boat. I purchased a 1994 full cabin Top Gun with the old style bravo 1's with the 1 inch prop shaft. 605hp each side. Not a kevlar boat either. No drive failures. You have to be easy on the trottle. Very easy. Also, I rarely went above 4200rpm. Had the boat 7 years now. Just converted to Arneson 7M drives. Test run coming soon. At that price, I would bet you will need new engines, blocks, etc. You can keep most of the parts and have them rebuilt. That is what I had to do. $25000

It's listed at a price where guys call with their money ready vs. wanting to know who built the engines and how many hours on the drives.
