Did you get your new boat? Would love to see some pictures of it.

I think this deal is dead.

Assumption is the mother of all F-up's !!!!!!!

I hope I'm wrong

True !

Hey Joe, whats up with the Y2K ??:grinser010:

I think John finished it and raced it in the Patchogue this past weekend ! Any body got and pic's ? It was called the Bacardi Party !!! lol !

1st he had the Yellow Y2K Bacardi Special,
now he has the Bacardi Party.
JC never fails to entertain me !!!!:drink::drink::drink:

Chillen in the back yard !!
 

look at the little boat captain !

Nice, so Coen put the Y2K together for you ??? Looks Great, we need details, how fast ?? Photos of the motor and drive !!!
Best of luck !!!
Gary

Thats my old boat

MDG Y2K
BOATING 37 Y2K
OCC JOE Y2K, All the same Y2K. Got it.
Thanks Dave !!!

MGD rigger 15hrs !
Boating37 35hrs !
OCCJOE 45hrs in 45days !!!!

I was wondering where that one ended up... man, what a beautiful boat built with top shelf components. Glad its sticking around on the board.:drink:

Boat looks great. Good luck with her. 45 hours in 45 days. Sounds like your having fun.

Nice boat built with the best . And you got it when you wanted it, with enough time to enjoy the rest of the season. Its good to buy a turnkey boat you know exactly what your getting. No broken promises.

You putting some hours on it. Good to here it looks good on the beach.I still have to send you the prop key.

Ready !!

Nice! That boat is ALMOST as GOOD LOOKING as mine! :evilb:

Anybody know where the other Black sided (Cary?) Y2K is these days?

Oh, and I had trouble establishing a value on my boat too. I settled on my loan at an agreed interest rate. A few weeks later, the bank jacked up my rate two points. They said they couldn't establish a value and changed the loan to an "unsecured" loan. The bank looked at the price list on Superboats website and talked to JC but still no luck.

I ended up changing the loan over to home equity, saved a few points, and get the tax benefit.

I couldn't get a bank that I have all my business accounts with to give me a loan and I have almost no debt and my credit score was almost 800 , but I went to the credit union and in 15 min they ask me how much I would like the check made for .
I did my loan for 60 months at 4.75% .

Damn it , I knew I shoulda bought that boat last year. You snooze , you lose. I couldnt decide between Jamies and a 32 sunny. I just went looking for this boat again and found its gone. I almost cried when I saw it was off the classifieds. I even went back and watched the vids of this boat on the poker run passing the cig tg. Why cant I find another one like this .:poopoo:

Superbabi's Y2K listed in the classifieds is a hell of a deal for 37,500 minus motor , you could pick that up and a motor and you would be ahead of the game ! I think he's ready to deal so gime him a call . I heard something about him wanting a Bayliner ! Lol just kidd'n Gary , a little cross thread humor !

Yes I'm ready to make a Great deal on my Y2K. As for the Bayliner, she is a real Gem. an 1988 18' classic, all set up for the Ron Potter 800 efi !!!! lol lol:grinser010:

Don't you just sometimes wanna shove a big a$s motor in something it doesn't belong in just to freak people out ?
Today I found an 18' flats boat with a big block and a surface drive , 10" draft . ( sounds like fun )

I need a turn key set up. I am new to performance boats and finding /installing an engine may be troublesome for a novice like myself. But I do have mechanical abilities. I have built high hp engines for drag sleds and Harley Davidsons so how hard can installing a crate motor be?:party-smiley-004: I should add, I would like the 90 mph MGD numbers. Superbabi, what were you pulling with the Potter? Sames as the MGD power ?

smoker, a drop in should be in the 1k range. As for the Potter 800 best we saw was 92-93 mph, however one day I hit 94.5 on the downward slope part of the bay !!! lol lol

Thats about the same as the MGD 800 speeds. 1000 is labor price to drop in? Not bad, I am leary of the 525 boat because of the header issues I have read about. How does your drive compare to the the Konrad ace? I assume you do not include a trailer? Sorry for the novice questions but I need to start somewhere. Hmmm 16 hour drive from me.

smoker how fast do you want to go ? The 525 is a great motor. Its just the CMI headers that are in question. I'm sure there are other headers out there, I have a set of factory reconditioned Stellings. As for the drives I have nothing but great things about the Konrad drive, as for the XR I have been lucky with mine. Rebuilt every seasons and oil changes every 15 hours. No issues. No trailer, my Y2K is always on a lift in season. As for the questions, not a problem, I love talking boats. Give me a call ,Thanks Gary.

Well I have enjoyed the MGd boat , I talked to Dave before Jamie bought it but he just beat me to it !
Gary I must have the next design hull after yours because the Konrad drive is heavier and looses a couple MPH over the bravos but yet will still run the same speeds ..

Not sure Joe, but I think it takes a bit more HP to spin the Konrad.

Maybe but I feel good about throwing the power to it , I don't wait for the bang out the back anymore .
Happened on the Pantera once so far .

I am looking for a 90 mph boat. I need to be conservative for my first true go fast. :bsflag: I want to get the boat so I can sign up for Tres school. I will go faster later. I have raced ice drag sleds that ran over 100 mph in 660 ft . Doubled hp and torque numbers on my Harleys . Just addicted to performance. Not the fastest, otherwise I would not be on a Harley. But to build the fastest Harley around my town was the addiction for me. My cousin and I have built him and his kid some 8oo hp corvette club cars. But, fast boats were always my passion growing up on the water. I just never could afford much in the way of true performance. I have kids in college and my boats have been 30-40,000 pleasure cruisers. I will some day own a twin 38-42 , maybe a cat but not ready for that skill level. I am old enough now to leave the throttle in the bottle instead of my young stupid race days . Just glad to still be alive when I think about it. I cant get enough of performance boat talk. Thank you for taking the time to talk to me.

Rare Event
 

Stuck at home on a weekday ! This is rare for the Carolina Coast !

Joe, my mom just drove into it in NC. She lives in Emerald Isle.

Rick thats crazy ! I cant believe you have family this close to me . Emerald Isle is in my back yard . Those picks of my boat on the beach where taking at Emerald Isle which I can see from my back door .

Go get that snow off that great lookin Superboat!!!:D:D

Kate and I were looking at houses on your side last year. Beautiful community, all nice high ranches, community pool and boat ramp. My kind of place

Its a whole other world then NY , You can own a really nice home for the $150-200 range . The deals for under a $100 every once in a while. 40K a year and you can live really well and normally no snow or ice ,lol ! Don't know what happened today !
But don't think about moving to soon , I need another boat built !
