The 30 was mine that I just sold. It was a two man setup in the front and a three person coral in the back.

Here is our 31 "Great Adventure" with 3 man bolster up front and a backseat.

WoW very nace.... what year was it , Could you tell me about your boat.
What did you ask for it.... what power and speeds will a boat like that do...

Was the boat set up like that when you got it or did you have it converted to the was it is now.

I would have bought it if i ne about this sit before.. Were did the boat go too... do you have any other pic's would love to se more

Thankyou, would like to learn more about sutphen

very nace also, i love the race set up and the full dash,

what are the sizes of sutphen 30 and 31 ??????
are there dif hulls, whats a pace racer

My old boat was an 1982 Ocean Pacer, which is the model name for the 30 footer. When I got it it had 520 hp small blocks that were well on their way to self destructing. I helped it along by pushing her as fast as I could and the boat ran 92 with these engine for about 30 seconds....then boom. I re rigged it with some more mild small blocks which made her run in the high 70's. Fun boat. Could get a little loose if you weren't paying attention. It had arneson surface drive which were very cool.

The boat sold and is now in Scituate, MA just outside of Boston.

Sweet Magnum by the way!

Thank you for getting back to me and i look forward to talking some more... Is a ocean pacer hard to find.???
what dose ocean pacer mean. is it the set up or a dif hull style from the rest????
was the boat always a two man set up with the dash across the helm. what were you asking for the boat when it was for sale..
im going to sell my Magnum.. what are you looking for now

I love the seat and dash set up, any other pic's you could share with me, i thought of doing the dash and race set up to my mag

Here's some pics of how the dash looked originally and how it looked when I sold it. You can pick up ocean pacer every once in awhile but not many with the full race setup. Ocean Pacer is just the model name for thr 30 foot Sutphen, race or pleasure.

There was a 30 Sutphen race setup for sale on the upper east coast about a month ago. It is call the Execution Express. Boat looked pretty rough and the engine and drives were pulled out of it. I think they were asking $25000 for it. Seemed a little high to me for its condition.

well your boat was very nace, what would the price range be for a 30ft, if i was to find one i would do the race seats and dash if it did not have it, should be able to do a dash like that.

how did you find it with that set up as you cant move around much for pleasure use, did you find that you would have liked two bolster and the rear couch set up with sun pad??????
More pics i love seeing them thanks again

what are you looking for now

That setup was tight. You had to climb over everthing to get around but it was nice while you were running. You can find these boats anywhere from $20,000 to $45,000. It just depends on how much work you need to do to them.

I believe that Great Adventure can be bought. It is a little newer and a foot longer. She has the best of both worlds...three man bolster in the front and bench seat in the back. I personally saw the boat a month ago and it was very nice and sounded good. PM Lucky Strike if you are serious about buying a Sutphen or you can call on the Execution Express if you can find where it is for sale.


I'm looking for another nice old school boat that calls my name when i see it. Haven't found it yet.
