Thats one heck of a fine boat you got yourself. Originally built by Richie for the late Bob McCoy ( first inductee into the PRA poker run hall of fame ) which explains the trademark "Old Man" windshield. It was rigged with Mariner 300s before the 300X's. It lived a very pampered life as his Muskoka cottage fishing boat and spent the majority of its time on a lift in a boathouse from new until his passing a couple years back. Gord bought her from the estate to replace his American Offshore 31 but then descided he needed the speed again and so it now belongs to you.
Good luck with her. Bob always loved that particular Sutphen and it was his favourite amongst the many in his collection.

you can now eat off any spot on this thing. The engines look like they are showroom new I have pics if anyone wants to post them for me.
[email protected] I'll send them over.
Good cockpit pics too. This thing is cavernous in the cockpit.lol
I havent even fired the engines yet. Kids been sick and almost ended up in the hospital today. It has a cracked through hull fitting for the pump out toilet and I need to change it before she hts the water .
It was the perfect sutphen for my family. Old man windshield and all.LOL srvey showed the hull was dry as a bone too.

Ahh man I had her out yesterday for the first time.
what a nice boat. I love the 300X's they ran like a top. Idle well and quiet, bark like rabid dogs under Allot of throttle. The boat handles better than my 20 or my 26 which was a big suprise, just pummeled the white caps on plum gut like they werent evn there.
Only problem is the wife LOVES the windshield.LOL
Its really not bad at all from inside the boat. I still need to learn the set up on the boat because its totally different then my other boat and has so much adjustment to it you can do anything with the motors you want.
Just a top notch set up.
I am really happy with it so far.
