New addition to the family
 

Well here's the new addition to the Sutphen family. Its a 1987 single outboard 26. Its been sitting inside a heated/air conditioned building in Maine for the past 20 years! Its one of the few single outboards built I hear. It was originally sold by Jim Goodrich of Offshore Speed and Ski to a person in CT. Its powered by a V8 Johnson. The boat is in amazing shape! We look forward to running a 26 again!

Nice snag. Great CT River boat!

I was right behind you!

Just missed it and you knocked him down another G to boot!

Nice ride

The white walls are, shall we say different :ernaehrung004:

Cool. Congrats. Looks like a fun boat.

Thanks Wade! Now come get Tsunami!!:D

All original 1987 baby! Old School!

Dan:
Nice ride. I was talking with Jim up in Maine about that boat. Thought if it was everything he said it was, it would be a great deal and it appears that it was. Best of luck with it.
Matt

wow, very nice

That hull looks to be in terrific shape. The package must be the lightest 26 in existance.

hi guys, i ran a pair of v 8 s on a31 chris craft i had a real bad time keeping it from loosing water pressure and overheating , ritchie sutphen has the cure though , give me a call i will fill you in.

Look how clean the stitching still is on the steering wheel..

are you keeping the ob or putting new obs on it. nice grab.

where the hell are all the gauges?LOL

I cant wait to get down to OS and see it.

I am gonna need a ride in that little bad boy.

Its like going back in a time machine and riding in a off the lot sutphen RR

There is an Insane amount of room in that boat isnt there?

for a smallish 26 Ft boat theres tons of party room with the outboards

well, that answers my question...cool score!
how many does that make in CT now?

Allot

Were catching up to Mass quickly! We may even have more. I have still yet to see the boat in person!!

My buddy just bought my old 20 Ft sutphen Although it was already in CT. so add that to the list.

theres also a couple that are not known about on this site local to me. at least (2) 20's (1) 30 and a 26 I have heard about in my town but never seen.

The kids I buy my X mas trees from say there dad Owns one and It hasnt moved in 10 years or more.

miller time is in mass tho. badddd assss. lol
not a ton in mass. i only know of a hand full.
and local to me ive seen like 3. letter rip is one, then maybe 2 or 3 others tops!!!

I know of nopper, miller time, letter rip, outrageous, sutphen 30, shaun's 33, spoil me, there's three other 38/39's, Wades old 30 race, the single 31(not Ernie's) and some other's I believe. I think we may have them beat in CT though!:D

Which one is "Miller Time"?
There was a nice 38' triple running out of Marina Bay (MA) not sure if it is still there though.
Matt

The 39/40 that was used in the brochure for Offshore Speed and Ski in early 2000's. Its a side by side bravo boat with the lightning bolt down the side.

fobes, the 38' @ Marina Bay was owned be Bill O'Connell who developed Marina Bay. After Bill sold it set in front of Hewitts Cove Marina in Hingham. "HIGH LIFE"

HIGH LIFE:
Every now and then Bill would come by our yacht club in Winthrop for a few. He let us check out the Sutphen. I always liked that boat with the big "Oh $hit" bar across the back of the front bolsters. Bill and his friend were always gentlemen.
Where is the boat now?
Matt

Have you run it with the 300. I'm curious of what numbers it has with one of those v8 OB. Do you plan on repowering? A pair of 2.5s would look good on the back of that.

Yeah a pair of 2.5s does look good.LOL
Just kidding
I like the fact that its all original.

The boat is for sale guys!! We are asking 12K. Come and get it!

thats a very good little boat for somone.

I can tell you I loved my little 26 rum runner and it had a ton of room in it. No real winterization needed for the outboard except a quick Fogging.

Its even on a nice trailer.

Especially snce you can get 300X's pretty cheap now.

Why are you guys selling so soon? The summer is just getting going.

Buying something new!!:D

I'm sure you got something good up your sleeve. If I didn't have my rumrunner I would definatly pick that one up.

You guys going to be running this weekend?

Yes we'll be running Tsunami this weekend testing in preparation for the Atlantic City Poker Run.

When is that run?
