Damn Jr, thats sweet! I didnt know it had a back bench... nice and functional.
So you've got a cool Horba boat that can be used daily! :evilb:

Re: Splashed "Great Adventure"
 

The back seat came with the boat when it was new in 1988 but was never put in. It has a piece that covers that area when you are racing.
You just pull the seat out and bolt the cover on.

Looks great!! what power and speeds are you getting with the 3 blades surface props, and are you guys going to race it at all this YEAR with the deal OPA is doing, It be nice to see the boat run. I'm hoping to move up this fall my buddy has a 89 31 with trs 3 blade 25p M on it power 370hp mercs,1 bad motor.IF I get it I will either build a matching 510=650hp thats in my 24 ol and put the good 370 in the ol sell it. and have 2 510's for the 31 or build a 800 to 1000hp single like ERNIE'S 1000HP 32ft single which is a 2004 SUTPHEN I think. just do't now if his is a lot lighter boat than the 89 31? I HAD ONE RIDE IN IT AT THE CAPE RACE THAT WAS CANCELED IN 2004 :( WE WERE RUNNING WITH SUTPHEN 30, OUTRAGES, AND HIT SPEEDS OF 75MPH.in big water And it was cool. I'd like to buy new SUTPHEN no power but I bet it would cost a 100,000 complete boat no power :( so puttin 50,000 into the 89 that's boat price too,might be the way to go. there's a guy selling the second 32 built with a single on the cape but he wants like 130,000 or 140,000 for it and the power I think is 600 to 700 hp :eek: .lot of money ,well got to go its 3am my pain meds are kicking in finely so can you tell us whats up with the performance and do you like the cleaver props better than the merc B1 and M PLUS. ?? GOOD LUCK AND LOOKS GREAT

Looks Awesome LS...Congrats!

I'm very jealous!.. :mad: :D

Re: Splashed "Great Adventure"
 

The boat looks great? Does it bring back good memories of those Jersey days? :D

Re: Splashed "Great Adventure"
 

This weekend was full of old memories being out in the Sutphen once again. I almost had forgotten how much fun a 30' Sutphen can be in the ocean. LS-3 my 12 year old told me it was the best boat ride he had ever been on & he has been in 3 poker runs & many hrs. in our 38 Top Gun T/S.

Re: Splashed "Great Adventure"
 

Thanks....... I know you looked at it years ago to buy.
If you get to Florida give us a call and we will be happy to take you out in her.

The question is do you think he'd notice if I took it out? :D :eek: :D

Re: Splashed "Great Adventure"
 

Congrats LS/LS-JR. I have been in many race courses with that boat and I have to say that it can hang in big water all day long, Bill Gazell ran the piss out of her.

Re: Splashed "Great Adventure"
 

Thanks Steve..I sure will!

I did look at it when it was sitting @ Gary Hartman's shop...oh well, shoulda,woulda,coulda, ya know??... :rolleyes: :D
