OK, found them. Prior to the 30 Y2K, there does not seem to be many 30 I/O's around. Were many made? That 2000 24' w/300 OB sound like a deal at 28K. I was thinking my '98 I/O was worth about that much or more.

Dave,
I think prior to the mid 90's, most Superboats were built for outboards.
A 30' non-Y2K I/O is going to be a tough find...
In my opinion, a 24' or 30' I/O hull is worth significantly more than an outboard.

Here It Comes!
 

That is also because you're an "out of stater". Great South Bay,Home of SUPERBOAT, has been the outboard capital for a long time. Mostly all Superboats have been ordered by L.I'ers. The shallow waters are a good reason. Amongst others.(haha). (OH-ZONE, you better back me up on this, I know we are out numbered!)

Oh Yes, I found out first hand at last year's Superflop. Your waters are vary shallow. Peconic and I ran aground 3-4 times during that trip. Twice in marked channels. Good thing we only hit sand. :rolleyes:

The couple of times I met with JC, he told me that he started building more 24' I/Os because people wanted to go in excess of 70mph. A few years back, the big 300HP out-boards were not that reliable and the 24' does not handle all that great with twins.

Superbash, your new setup with the combination of stepped hull, notched transom, and stand-off bracket may be just the ticket for a faster and more reliable out-board version... :)
