boating 37, Superboat and Activator are great boats, ( Long Island boat building at its best ) great value for the money. When you post the question at the Superboat site, You know what answer your going to get. When you ask the same question at the Activator site you know what that answer is gonna be. Perhaps your best bet would be is get a ride in both boats, perhaps that would help with a decision.:D

Or maybe post in the GD

Yes I do know that was going to happen,thats why I posted on superboat and Activator bosth,just wanted to here why someone bought a superboat for what reasons.And just compair reason's.

Then you will get the Superboat and Activator guys telling you there boats are better. Im partial to the Y2K only because Ive seen one in person and not an Activator.

There are both vary nice boats. I have seen them both up close and either would not disappoint. Like my earlier post would indicate, there is a price difference.
Unfortunately I cannot afford either, but I did get a call today about a used 27' Activator...
Hmmm...
I'll know more tomorrow.

Pat If You Pass Let Me Know I Would Be Interested In That

Boating 37 you need to come up to md and take a ride in my y2k,hopefully in some nice rough water,go up to Li and take a ride in an activator,compare style,ride,speed,comfort,price.Then you the buyer,can make your final decision.The best advice i can give.

Dave I started looking at Y2K because of your boat,have to say I love it, great looking boat,and would have come up tp MD but the weather changed and got cold up north.Now today it was 82 here in florida..We will see just looking at all me options.and like both boats, it come down to the best deal I can get.

Sure thing.
Mike at Ocean performance called me while I was trying to feed my kids so I have not gotten the whole scoop.

they are comparable. the activator is not 30', but 27 or 28 with a platform. both deep vee's. both are fast. i'd give the speed edge to the act, but the rough water capabilities to the super.
i have riged or reriged a dozen or so of each. both inboard and outboard.
for the super i might sway away from say a twin 300x set up, a lil squirly same for the act.
if you have the money for big power (750+ h.p ) either way you ll have a rocket.

I've never benn in an Activator but last time out we were in 4-6'ers @ 80 mph!!

Here is a little run through 3' with an occassional 4+ @ 65 mph and at the end up to 75

AND THERER YA HAVE IT.

The last Superboat w/525 and new bottom ran 86GPS, my boat w/HP500 ran 80.7 with old bottom, 83 and change with
the GM VORTECH 496

Bo,
That was the old bottom. And that was in the Speedboat mag issue. The Activator was 2.4 mph faster then Garys Y2K. But then theirs had a shorty speedmaster and a Herring prop. Ours was stock!! Today, my "NEW" Y2K would swoop a 29 Activator. The new hull is running between 3-5 MPH faster then the old hull. Our new hull is running 82 MPH out of the box with a 525. And if you have the $ to play with props. 84 is there too.

i've yet to play with one of yur super's with the new bottom, so maybe im off. maybe. as for the depiction i was speaking from my experience's not an article. geeeeeshh,,,,,,,,,,

how ever i would love the opportunity to try out the new bottom first hand if that can be arranged.

uummmmmmmmmm kay.

Who is building the Activators ???? As I understand Mark is gone.

No problem Bo. I;m sure we can arange it in the spring.

So that means they are no longer selling boats anymore.Out of business?

no-----I was told by someone who is close to skip that there is 2 boats in the mold as we speak and that the molds are not for sale.........who starts this bull$hit anyway?????

OK, so Skip at MRD is building the boats now?
Mark is out of the picture?
Hey FX10 inquiring minds want to know the truth...:eek:

hmmmmmmmmm, sounds like a " DISSIDENT AGGRESSOR ":rolleyes:
