Yeah Another old red. I also see @ 38 in the same lot.

Thats the one!

schaf..
you and i were both in line for a shot at the money boat....you're a lucky guy..keep us locals posted....we're in the thimbles/branford all summer...

C.G. I'll do my best!:.

I realize this is an old post but wanted to set the record straight.
Thats not the Ben sisti boat its is the boat from next to Ocean performance. The Ben Sist boat was my brothers boat that broke free and was totaled in old lyme CT.
Ironically the next day when we were pulling it off the rocks it was Ben sistis grand son who gave us a hand.

That was a great boat. My friend owned it before my brother and we spent many good years on her.

Tore me up to see her all smashed to pieces.
We tried for 4 hours in the middle of the night to pull her off that damn sea wall with waves breaking over our heads.

Then the marina who stored her didn't pickle the motors properly. We had planned to rebuild her but the hull was too far gone and 1 of the motors was spanked.

I think it may have been your brother that was wanting to buy my Ocean Pacer, just after I purchased it last year.
I remember that he told me his boat had gotten wrecked on rocks after it broke free from it`s mooring. Sad story...

Yea, I saw it across from Between the Bridges. It was pretty bad. It wouldn't have been worth rebuilding. Now there's only one red 30 left.

But we were first in line.:D:D:D

That was us.

Your boat was a nice ride. He would have been a buyer at 28K

He ended up buying a 96 fountain.
For a bit more money.
Nice boat, but very different.

It runs all the time etc.LOL
Just kidding.

That red sut was a classic design and it always looked like newer boat.

The red and white paint was very classy.

I have pics of it from the week before it got totaled I'll try and dig them up.

Christian- The OB boat next to your's is my old one. I now have a 33. Remember, we chatted a few times in the Thimbles both in the 26 and the 33? Great picture!

I noticed the boat is gone from the marina, could there be someone that is planing to fix it?

hey dane..
welcome aboard....i know the boat...it's the larger version of mine! been out there lately/yet? drop a line if you're kicking around, we're in branford most weekends.

Since the Cigarette moved out I moved in :D

Strike how are you.Not to get off topic but how would you compare the Cig-to the Sutphen-performance wise(I had the 30 that was made right before Great Adventure )and am currently looking for a larger staggered hull 39 feet or over.Thanks Joe.(Email me if you wish)

The Cig is a 38' twin step & runs 93mph with 525 efi's

Ths Sutphen has 454's & runs about 13 mph less.

They are two completely different rides.

I guess what i am asking is how do you think a fully staggered 39 Sutphen would compare with a top gun or tiger as far as overall performance in the rough ,build quality ect, power for power.

PS could you please tell me about ride differences.

Never was in a 39 Sutphen.
Sutphens are very well built, probably one of the best.
Cigarette builds great boats...Resale is much better.
As for rough water, I would guess their close.
You can't go wrong with either make.

how about a sut registry?
 

I owned 2 sport pacer jets, the first one a baby blue with a 454 back in high school with the name WILD WITCH in prisem decals. Then there was DIRTY DEEDS another sport pacer with an LS6 I restored in the early eighties, another sport pacer is owned by my friend Scott Madsen owner of a corvette resto shop and is now in vermont with his family shooting a rooster tail or skiing on some pristine lake and then there is another pacer sold at a local bar for 500 I would have purchased but one of my friends scooped her up for his son. There are 2 gran sports at Morris County Marine and then there is my 26. My 8 month old son went for his first ride today with not one whimper or diaper change ( he thought he was in omas benz! ) Thanx Ted

what happened to the one that blew up on the jetty ?where did it end up ?

Hi there! Sorry that we were never able to catch up with yet this year! Maybe we can get together for a run sometime soon! Heard that you were able to sell Lethl! Congrats! Give me a call if you are out and about. (This is Randy by the way- with the Sutphen and Cigarette.. we have talked on the phone!)

Still no info as to the whereabouts of that boat . I asked about it around the marina but nobody I asked seems to know. I bet somebody on here knows !

No worries Randy I would like to get out again this year. Let me know when your heading out. I will do the same. I think I still have your number. Here is mine

I’m in Rockland County NY and boat mainly on the Hudson. I bought this one brand new from Ocean Outboard. Originally had 2 300 Evenrudes on it. Reriged it in 2001 with 3 300x Mercs. I have 5 boats presently, have owned more than I can count over the years and this one is by far my favorite.

denny, very nice/clean looking Sut.

Has anybody seen or heard obout a 1980 30ft sutphen , was named gypsyman M39.

We used to race in the NE 1981-1982-1983. Thanks. I am located in Pompano Beach FL.

James, I think we may have meet at Block Island. We had the 36 Cigarette. You were running in the 33 red Fountain. We recently bought Tsunami, a 34 race boat. The boat is in Old Saybrook CT

Any pics ?

I raced in the N.E. in 1981 in A 30 Sutphen " Magic J "

A red/white 30' ex-raceboat named M39 Executioner Express was for sale in New Hampshire last year at Independent Marine 603 476-5580. They were redoing the boat.

Sutphil:
Thanks for the info...will follow up and let you know what I come up with.

Hi Dan, Yea we met going out to Block. Your new boat looks awesome. Morgan told me about it. I think he wants to come see it when you go out. Maybe will bring mine up & go for a rip with you guys. Let us know when your going and best of luck with it. Jim

As for those wondering about the sisti boat unfortunatley it is no more!

It was sold at auction.
But it was pretty hammered.
One of the worst nights of our lives trying to save that boat.
My friend owned that boat before we did and I spent most of my adult life out on her.
I was very sad to see her go.

It was in my opinion one of the classiest looking sutphens I have ever seen.

Yea, I will def let you guys know when were going to run it. That would be cool to have you guys running with us!! It will probably be a cold one!!!

Thanks for the picture of the 30' Sutphen. It's changed quite a bit....
