Will it handle rough water as good or better than a 35'/38' Fountain? Any disadvantages being an ex. race boat? Thanks,Jeff

Much better than a 35/38 Fountain. Smashes the waves. I have an old race Sutphen and love it. I didn't know the on in the classifieds was raced?

That is the only pic I have from its hay-day. It is a side by side with small blocks and ASD #6's. The original owners' name was Tom Hayes and he was an insurance agent. I can post some pics of it now. Some of the are in the "Wet at last" post.

Here was the dash when I bought it, with original controls.

LS, She is an '82 model Original color were white and red, now all white. I couldn't ask for a more solid boat (except for my not so solid mechanical abilities. :D ) Here's a pic of her now..... I've been trying to dig up some info on her for some time now. I'm sure your all sick of my posts by now....sorry.

I've seen pictures of it when it was for sale a few years ago. Sorry I don't know any history on it. I had a 1978 & a 1979 30 Pacer & currently own a 1988 31 Spirit. They are great boats, the quality is second to none.

I love the boat....had it on the market a few months ago and removed it. I'm glad I did! Couldn't bear the thought of someone else enjoying all of my hard work. Thanks for trying but I guess I'm going to have to talk to some of the west coast guys or the old POPBRA fellas.

If you want to take a ride to Pompano Beach I would be happy to take you out in my 31' Sutphen race boat.
1 ride & you'll be sold on them. I know you have had a few Cigs but these are different. As far as being an X race boat, it all depends on which one you buy and the history of it. Over the years I have had 3- Sutphens all race boats, & they were all just great triple bolster wave bangers with an unbelievable ride in the rough. Rosebud racing on the board has one that I used to own 25 years ago. It's still going strong, and I raced it often back in the day! Ask him what he thinks of his boat and you'll probably hear the same thing.

I like them a lot. I haven't quite mastered reverse around the docks but that has a lot to do with the props turning inwards. Nice roosters too!!!!!! :D
