Its a cool old boat, but I'd think that a 77 Super is a heavy sumbich.. the #s he's claiming (hp and speed) seem to be on the high side to me... like really high

I have a race layup 24Super with a procharged 454 making around 650-675hp, and am currently running low 90s with the stock non-coned bravo fairly easily... not saying it doesn't require driving the boat, but really it isn't too bad (imo).

I've talked to Jeff (JC Perf) about the 102mph Super... I think it was making 750hp or so- if I remember right? I know its the fastest 24/7 on the planet so far.

It does look clean in the pics, but I think that 11K is on the high side. More like 8.5-9K maybe?? Lots of old hardware on that boat... brings the price way, way down for me.

that's the price ranged I was thinking. And speeds....well I know everyone talks a big game.... To be honest 55 in a 35 ft cig was fast and fun. I come to relize a long time ago that their is always someone who will be faster. And I'm ok with it ...

Funny ! But your boat gets worked on during business hours at the shop , where as mine gets worked on after hours at my house were it pisses my neighbors off with the hammering and grinding till 11 every nite ..
Can't wait to post a pic of the two of them together .

F the neighbors!!!
In the summer I flush my salt out at 11, 12, 1 am whenever!!!

Had a couple adult bevs on t giving, followed by taking out the 50s for wheelies down the road, then the race sled came out for a rip!!!!
The neighbors didnt think that was too cute... Prob cause theres no snow yet!!!! Oh well.......

Talk to ya soon,

Pics will be nice side by side, the fastest and the fattest.
