Pat, I am going to Florida on Feb 15th for 8 days. While there, I am going to the Pantera factory for a ride and further negotiation on a 24. At that point, I will decide on the Pantera or the Superboat.
Thanks,
Ken

:cool:
Hey fellow Superboaters,
Just wanted to say hello. I have owned 16' & 21's in the past. J.C. is rigging a red/white 24 outboard for me . They are light, fast and indestructible. I rigged a 16 C/C with a V6 and used and abused it without any failure. Your threads gave me a lot of ideas. Pics in the near future.
Ken, go with Superboat.

Superbash,

Welcome to the forum. Let's see some pics of your rig. You must see a lot of Superboats up there. Just a couple down here in MD.

Dave M.

Superbash Pictures are a must unless your from babylon.Ever go to toomies or jacks. See you there Look for the ZUPERBOAT.

Welcome Superbash. Was that you I saw with JC last friday? I was there with my 3 yr old son. Congratulations on your new ride. What kind of power you going with?

HEY PATRICK, I DON'T HAVE DIGITAL PICTURES TO DOWNLOAD. I CAN'T EVEN SEE YOUR PICTURE B/C I AM NOT A GOLD OR PLATINUM MEMBER. I ALSO AM A LITTLE CLUELESS ON HOW POST THE PICTURES IF I EVER DID GET ANY. YOU WILL HAVE TO COACH ME THROUGH, BUT THE PROBLEM IS MY 24 IS UNDER TARP'S & SNOW. MY 30 IS @ AN INDOOR STORAGE PLACE THAT IS NOT EASILY ACCESSABLE. I DO HAVE 1 PIC OF MY 30 THAT I COULD E-MAIL YOU. THANKS, JOE

Hey Joe, e-mail it over. I'll post it for ya...

250 EFI w/12" setback. 65-67mph.
I'll be out there as soon as the bay thaws out.:cool:

SUPERBASH PICTURES ARE AN INSIDE JOKE.THE BABYLON BOYZ WHERE UNABLE TO POST PICS FOR A LONG TIME . I WONDER IF YOU KNOW TRIPPS FROM BABYLON ALSO.BEST OF LUCK WITH THE 24.LOOKS LIKE SUPERBOAT IS FINALLY STARTING TO PUMP OUT SOME BOATS :eureka: :eureka: :eureka: :eureka:

Will there be more than one Superboat at Superfest this coming Summer?

Hey Zuperboat,
Do you think the Zuperboat and Tripp's tripple V can hold together for a trip East?

It's February, Three Months to go...

Ut-OH, talking about Superfest again!

Hey Dave,
Don't think I'll make the run all the way to Babylon again without at least one other boat from the CT river stepping up.
Any time the LI boys want to meet on the East end though, I'll be there.

HEY PATRICK,
THIS IS JOE, DID YOU GET THE PIC OF MY BOAT THAT I E-MAILED YOU?? IF YOU CAN E-MAIL THE PICTURE OF YOUR BOAT THAT I COULN'T OPEN.

Hey Tripps, Thanks for the welcome. By the way what kind of powerheads have you been collecting? I could use a spare or two also, even a back up C.L.E. drive?

Hey Patrick, Where are you? e-mail me a pic of your boat! [email protected]

30SUPER/ JOE

Hey Tripps,
How's Things?
Have you heard from Peconic?
I have acquired just about everything to rebuild my engine. Just finishing up with remodeling our kitchen.
I'll be tearing into it soon.
Are you helping Mike with his? Sounds like he's going with an old school solid flat tappet cam...

Hey Joe,
I got the pic of your 30'. Sure you don't want to show her off? Looks like a nice ride to me. Send over your 24' and I'll post them in the Boats for Sale Forum.

Come on pat,put that hammer down and pic up the torque wrench:D :D dont tell your wife i said that,but spring is just around the corner!! tripps

Representing Town of Babylon, preview.
Tripps, thanx for the welcome. I launch at Tanner Park . I think the ZUPERBOAT does too. I"ll be running into you guys out there.:cool:

I did happen to notice the plexi wind screen as opposed to the fiberglass fairing. what make you go that way? are you going sit down or drop out bolsters?

OH-ZONE,
It's not plexi, just black instead of white. Old School.It will be the first sitdown 24.

Nice Looking Ride SUPERBASH!
What seats are you having installed?
The same as the Y2K?

Hey Pat,
I'm going with the 21 old style wraparound buckets. I like the way they look and hold you in. In one of the older threads I remembered you guys talking about wanting to sit lower in the 24's. I felt the same way . We'll see how it turns out and I'll let you know how it is. I usually find docking easier standing up in most boats.

I think those high back buckets like you see on the new Panteras would be cool. Some mods would be required to allow for leg room though.

If I did my boating on a like, I would defiantly go for sitting. It's a lot more comfortable at high speed.
I like the option of standing when it gets rough though.
Between snow skiing in the bumps and riding in my old Donzi, I think it stunted my growth :D

Pat, I had the 16C/C that I usually stood, but then I got used to sitting and liked it. I"ll post pics of it as soon as I can figure out why my scanner I just picked up won't scan.
Dave M,
We mocked up the seats I"ll be using in a 24 and there was leg room. What do you think would be different with the Pantera buckets?:cool:

Hey Superbash,

I think the OB model of the 24 has more cockpit space than the I/O. You can probably move the front seats back a little more.

Here's one of my old 16.

Here's one of friends old 21.:cool:

Another of the 16.:cool:

That '21 with twins must be a wild ride! :eek:

I'll bet with twins it's very stable:D :D :D Tripps

Hey Tripps, This is Joe, I just saw your response in the new forum. (I responded there also). I need 2.5 merc 200hp w/ 7 petal reeds. I found out how rare they are trying to buy a re-man last season. I am looking for a back up power-head. The season is too short so if I could find one (or one that will work), I would like it bolt on ready! I even would like to buy a back up drive. Thanks, Joe/30 SUPER.

sUPER,i'LL TALK TO MY FRIEND ABOUT THE POWERHEAD and go to screamandfly .com for a lower,they are there,talk to you later Tripps

Hey Superbash,

How hard was it to remove your front seats? Are they just lag bolted or is there backing plates under the deck?

Dave M,
It's a new 24 in the rigging shop. Hasn't had seats installed yet. I'm sure they're lagged in, my 16 and 21's were. We're setting the pedestal height to what I want. :cool:

Superbash are you going to thrubolt the seat? Why were the other seats lagged?
Ck these out

I think they would look OK in a y2k

THOSE WOULD LOOK GOOD IN ANYTHING. HOW MUCH FOR A SET OF THOSE AND HOW LONG TO GET THEM
