Dave, Thanks for the pics. I knew it had to have had a tie bar on those drives. Those friggin' scavengers struck again. No props, no radio, no vhf, no speakers, no tie bar.
Did you used to own it?
Where did you get the pics?
She looks damn good in the water. Hopefully I can live that picture here pretty soon.
That's a good new avatar!

I've got a 22 Pachanga with the Alpha 330/454 package and it works just fine. My neighbor has a 26 Sutphen with a pair of ZZ383 crate motors (425 hp) behind stock counter rotating Alphas. He runs it pretty hard with no drive issues in 5 years.
Nice looking boat! Great project.

I know that marina in onset very well I had the fastest boat there for 8yrs on the rack.
Once I became the boat carpet guy everyone loved me. But before it was hey art can't you get mufflers for that its so loud, I had dry SM
. They would not have stripped anything off the boat, they got it that way. I live like 25mins from there I was surprised I did get a call last time a perf boat got there they called me but it was a dog a 40ft formula with phucked up motors meet the owner at another marina and said he let the bank have it was cheaper then to fix it it did 55
. good luck if I new about sutphens 18yrs ago I would of bought a 26 265hp repo over my baja ol 24 330hp the 26 was 24,000 and the dealer that had the baja took it on trade from a friend who was the 1st owner so for 16700, I went with it. PLUS A FRIEND HAD A BAJA DEALERSHIP back then and they do run nice chit I have had over 585hp since94 650 since 2000 but a bulkhead has rotted so thats not to bad for all the power over 20yrs. I have two sutphens in my eyes right know ones a 31 87 needs motors there 454 370s now and the other is a 33 84 I think with 540s that need work plus paint is peeling on deck its been cover by a blue poly top for 4 or 5yrs he wanted 24,000 last yr would I look like azz asking if he would take 16,000 cause of paint, needs new vinly in cockpit, motors rebuild. maybe after I fix airtime ask if a trade and cash. but I have a lot of money in mine going from 650hp to 700 already order parts and have a new drive, shortie,rams, ex steering full going in while motor is out. plus fixing bulkhead and adding one up front dam it.

Everyone at Onset was very profesional and made the transaction as smooth as can be.

I was hoping to see the cockpit layout of an outboard boat as opposed to a I/O boat. Does it give more interior room?
Wstultz :That yellow and white paint is one great looking rum runner.
One of the nicest I have seen
