Re: Superboats?
 

Nice boat! Are the sides a custom fade or something or is just the picture? More pics?

Re: Superboats?
 

Nice! Let us know how that BIG JOHNSON runs. :drink:

Re: Superboats?
 

Dave the fade was an option. I have seen many like it. Dont know what year he stopped that. AS far as parts I will send you a pm with his number. The power out of the V8,s are great but the fuel bill is going to kill you. A local he twinn 300 V8,s on a cat and sold the cheap expecting to go faster with new 300 mercs , it was just a pipe dream. the boat went the same speed. but he did save on his fuel bill.

Re: Superboats?
 

something is amiss here. I did not post my last post starting with (dave the fade was an option) yesterday. That was weeks ago. What gives ?

Re: Superboats?
 

They were talking about missing threads and posts in the Gen. Disc. too.

Re: Superboats?
 

I think every time someone votes in the poll it shows the last post...

Re: Superboats?
 

So far I'm very happy with the motor.
So far she starts right up when its only 40*s outside, (Puget Sound winter speed runs)
Runs plenty strong and has no problem kicking out the RPMs seen 6500 rpms so far at 69 mph GPS. doing some prop testing tomorrow.
I have a buy on a 17" Hydra jackplate locally that I'm leaning towards, and will post pics of new Livorsi gauges w bezels soon, (going in tonight) and custom, matched steering wheel.

Re: Superboats?
 

That is correct. dont really understand why the board gods do it that way. I would think that the graph should be popping up in that case...

Re: Superboats?
 

I sold my 24' I/O and picked up my 30' Superboat. You can remove one 24 from the pol and add a 30' . I am selling the seats from my 30' they were way to big, and need new vinyl reap.

thayes 11, tell us about 30' superboat !!!!!

Re: Superboats?
 

That pick up in Hellmore only is SO LAME.

Unbolt the brackets and buy 2 wardrobe boxes from a moving or storage place and take your butt down to UPS and ship them at the buyers expense in the true spirit of Ebay.

If you can't be bothered to ship them then you shouldn't bother to put them on ebay.

=)

Would probably have sold here on OSO.

I would have possibly considered a trade for the white ones in my 24' that are too low, but those are way too ugly and need to be recovered

Re: Superboats?
 

ACETONE to remove the paint then they wouldnt be to bad... MEK or paint thinner... im surprised it got a bid... 25 bucks WOW...

Re: Superboats?
 

dregsz's boat isnt a true fade it is multiple stripes of fading nature... look closer

Re: Superboats?
 

30' Super is a 1995, set up with a Single Mercury,Yes rare site a 30' with a Single - no signs two motors were ever on this boat. guy had a 250 on it said it went very low 60's on GPS. No k-Planes, I am looking for more info on the Mercury 400 o/b ? That maybe comming soon !! Pictures following soon.

Re: Superboats?
 

So its a 30 tempest O/B. You need a pair of 400's, that would be a rocket !!!!!!

Re: Superboats?
 

I have the first ever Factory Yellow and white 16 superboat C/C. It has a 150 merc XR2 on standard transom.

It was built in 1997. I have it now in Key West.

She survived four hurricanes in storage this year.

She has always been covered and waxed and maintained.

It is the most custom 16 I have ever seen.

It has welded stainless wrap-around rails on the deck and console that match the original rails that were what made the first sixteens so hot.

Seats are heavy marine naugahide with blue and yellow racing stripes.

Many unique features. Heaviest sst hardware including pop up cleat at the bow. I have pics if anyone is interested.

Peace, Maverick7fl

Re: Superboats?
 

I had a beautiful 1979 /80 21 when I was on LI from 94-97. It had a 2.4 bridgeport, setback, tiebars, custom stereo, and an awesome original White with Blue deck stripe gel-coat that looked almost new after almost 20 years.


It was the most fun boat I've ever owned.

Re: Superboats?
 

Post Them!
We'd love to see it... :drink:

Re: Superboats?
 

Yes please post your photos !!!

Re: Superboats?
 

Any Superboaters want to see PICS of a 97 Sixteen c/c ? I had it built in 1997 by John C. It was the first Yellow/white ever made. I think it was also one of the last 16's he popped out. I bought it bare and customized everything. Its a great boat. It has a 150 XR2 for pwr. It has a built-in 18gal tank, Custom welded rails, front ski hatch, rear transom door, custom striped seats , lots of built-in storage for a 16c/c. The boat is now in Key West.

Re: Superboats?
 

post em' if ya gotem'!!!!

Re: Superboats?
 

I'll post some pics of the boat on LI soon as I digitize them.

Re: Superboats?
 

Here's my 97 16. THis is how I found it after Hurricane Wilma hit Key West a few months back.

Re: Superboats?
 

Yikes!

Re: Superboats?
 

16' with a 150 hp, should move along !!! How fast ???

Re: Superboats?
 

It hits low to mid 60's with the motor in stock transom position. The real fun is how fast it gets to that speed......LOTS of hole-shot. I would think that if I hung it for speed it would see high 70's easily.

Re: Superboats?
 

Super 16 near Robert Moses Bridge ...more action shots to come from a Lake George Trip. Steve

Re: Superboats?
 

Very nice ride Steve, do you live in the keys now ??? Gary

Re: Superboats?
 

Yes, I am down here permanently .... Here''s more pics of the sixteen while being built /rigged.

I am planning on making custom davits for the back of my houseboat and hanging it ready to use....

Re: Superboats?
 

Here's a pic of my 21'. I guess I don't have to brag about how great it rode to anyone here. I will say that being a '79, it had a really nice weight and while it wasn't faster than lighter 90's models, at was so sweet in the South SHore slop. I actually took it out in stormy weather on purpose. Ferry wakes were a blast....K planes and tie bars helped make it all fun.

Has anyone seen this hull around? I wonder where it is and how the next owner treated it.

Cheers
