Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Wow, great news! Wish I was there today. I'll be there thurs. :evilb: The only thing I'm wondering about is, shrink wrapping the cockpit so the dirt stays out during the road trip. What do ya think? Thanks, thanks thanks.

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Tom for that ride i would shrink wrap the whole boat. The price should be around 5-7 dollars per foot.

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

who does it?

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Tom, Lightspeed May Do It. Most Boat Haulers Do It, Or The Surfeside Marina Next To Superboat. Or Just Ask John, He Knows Everyone.

ENJOY YOUR NEW BOAT, TOM

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Well, what do I say first. How about thanks to everyone we met. Tripps and Donna, thanks for helpng the room. Much appreciated it was great. When we went to Manhattan saturday we ended up at a beautiful hotel on fiftieth instead of Queens. You where right of course, Best Western was not for kids.
Thanks to all at Superboat. You guys are more than boat manufacturers. Awsome boat ( which I'll find out more in a few weeks when the engines done) A great group to hang out with also as you can see in the pics. Thanks for all who showed up at Toomers, JC, Rick FX, Eric Tripps and Donna, Tripps brother, Gary OH-ZONE, JIm JIMH, MIke Zuperboat and son, I know I'm missing someone and the others who I met after I already had a twelve pack I'm sorry I don't remember all the names. :drink:
The boat was towed by BGCHUBBY on these OSO boards. Took him I think 48 hours to get here. Everything great except I a little poorer now! We arrived this morning at 11 am. To take delivery at the airport.

Re: My next boat: Y2k!

And yes it did get wet that night but most braved it. We got back to the hotel at midnight or later. What a blast with the Superboat gang! :drink:

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Here's pics of the new boat. :evilb:

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

a few more. I left the white steering wheel with JC. I'm going with a silver grip. Also the seat bases where not bolted down so I could customize the seat position. In process tomarrow.

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Does Zuperboat have a Tempest deck? Would love to see dash pics of that? Will JC do it that way as well?

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

a couple more

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Yes he does. Y2K bottom, Tempest deck. Very nice boat. He's got around 550hp and doing just above 80 I think. PM him.

Dropped off Y2K at the engine shop last night at 7:30. 496 comming out today. The 598 is scheduled to dyno next thurs. :evilb:

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Great to here all went well in Superboat land!!! :D
Great pictures, thanks for sharing.
Can't wait to here how your new baby does with that monster engine... :eek:
Good Luck! :drink:

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

The Zuperboat is one of a kind; not ever to be duplicated... :p
A number of us have asked JC if he will build a boat with the old school deck. "Nope"... :rolleyes:

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Good luck on the dyno tomorrow - can't wait to hear the results! Great pix!!!!

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Glad to hear you got your boat safe and sound...Now we need engine shots and dyno results...keep us posted...

Re: My next boat: Y2k!

Re: My next boat: Y2k!

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Thanks. more pics and peformance numbers to come for sure.

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Rick,
Where's your favorite steakhouse? I wanted to buy you a fat juicy steak when I was there but the family wanted to go to Manhattan soo bad I never got time. I owe ya a big fat one! :D

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Come on Thursday!!!! I'm watching closely as I try to decide where to take Once Bitten next. I'm anxious to see your numbers on a non blown engine and see what are the hp and speeds you get!! Can't wait!!!

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

I can't sleep at night. What's wrong with me? :(

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

I'm Jealous! I just started talking with JC on a new Y2K. So far, my fiance' is good with it, financing is looking good and I'm cleaning up the Checkmate to sell. Can't wait until I see mine sitting on the trailer. Congrats on yours!! I have a lot of questions regarding options and JC has been very gracious in answering every one. What's the difference between a race hull and what comes standard? Is the semi-F-16 wind deflectors on yours standard or optional? If optional, anyone know where there's a picture of a straight stock boat? Thanks in advance.

Tony

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Hey whats up.
have you been to Superboatonline.com? The race hull is cored with foam and balsa wood on the deck and sides. This gives it much more strength and also a couple hundred pound lighter JC says. Yes, the canopies on mine are standard. Havn't driven mine yet but out here on the west ist the best bang for the buck by far.
Tom :drink:

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Tom,

Just spoke with JC. Since I'm going with the 496 HO (no plans for a bigger engine....yet,) He said I have no need to go with the race hull. I agree since I'm already stretching my boat budget (and fiances' tolerance :eek: ). Hummm... maybe a Procharger later on.. or maybe....... Ok, I need to focus on getting the boat built! JC said mine would look identical to yours... What a great looking boat!
