1980 Superboat
My old boat Sold it about 4 years ago $8500 - all the work was done in 2000 about 10 years ago: the "paint with superboat on the side, canvas, gas tank, gauges, and interior". Motor was a 454 with a big cam TRS drive- I had a Barry Grant marine 750 on it, ran high 50's - 60mph in nice chop and was great in rough water.
I can tell you he has no title for the trailer, I have a lein on it for mult unpaid parking tickets from the guy I sold it to and Police report. Trailer is also a 2000 Ventura double axel. See how he has mult chains through the wheels - the Nassau sherriff may come for it someday it's got a flag with PD to impound if found. I seen it in Wantagh Park a few times with out the boat but never took action.

My Dad's old 24' Excalibur ran about 70mph with a Merc 400MCM TRS drive. I think he ran a 25p Cleaver and she did turned over 5000rpm.
Don’t know why a 24’ Super would not run 70+ with a 450HP/454 TRS and a 3 blade M+ unless the hull has a bad hook or the engine does not really make 450HP. I remember talking about this boat’s setup a couple of years back.
TRS drives are good but tougher and tougher to find parts and a shop/mechanic to work on them.
Sounds like you go for a ride and make an offer minus the trailer if you like the boat.

Hey pat no way to get it hom unless I take it from LI down the sound across the ocean to BI sound then down into newport and land t my dads house on his beach with a ramp and still no trailer. Ill cut those chains with a torch and bring it to MA and reg as home made. Im also looking at a Banana boat in Cape Cod tonight.
