Talked to Christine Sutphen, about this boat. She Remembered this boat was used as the display boat, by murdon marine, In the 1985 Toronto boat show.

Ahh I was away in FL last week and hadnt known it sold. I was keeping an eye on that one for a possible twin turbo set up with fuel injection. That could have been one nasty little ride.

still can just not mine:(

Here is a picture of the boat in the 1985 Toronto boat show.

Ahh thats cool And its got SIX's boat sitting right next to it!

I must say, When I spoke with Christine Sutphen, and she had these pictures I thought it was very cool Also.

Chris

nice! that looks my my boat on the right, but it doesnt have the docking lights. Chris told me my boat was one of the last to leave to head north to CT. it was unrigged. maybe they installed the lights up there. Mine is an 86, and was sent to offshore speed and ski after the originals owners sold the dealership to someone else.

The white boat is a 20.

Hey Phil, I thought that was a 20 as there are no deck hatches, and just looks smaller.

chris I was away when you contacted me last week. Good luck with the new boat. I bought back my 26 BOXER. With a 525 merc it ran 80. I have the 509 blower motor that i raced with ready to go. It is good to have it back. If you have any questions regarding setups with your 26, call me at 401-261-6225.

Not that I doubt the masters but what makes you so sure its a 20?

It looks like its just on a wierd angle and not chocked up as high to me.

could certainly be a 20 still though.

Both of those boats were sold new by Murdon to the same owner and lived for many years side by side in the same boathouse. I'm pretty sure the white one was about six feet shorter than the grey one. It's a nice boat with tan interior and a 350/Alpha.:drink:

Oh OK so you know the boats. I thought youn were going by something you saw in the photo.

Its certainly does look like sixs boat though doesnt it?

The width of the stripe is on the hull is wrong!!!

NEXT!!!

Damn that's a cool boat. Let me know when you get ready to sell. It would be a perfect boat for our lake and I always wanted a single to play with. Good luck with it.

Wade,
Stop trying to bogart all the Sutphens and go play with your own single....:kiss:
Chris

BTW: RumRunners Rule!

LOL! I like them all.

Nice pic of my new one, haven't seen that one yet. It has a lot nicer trailer under her now.

First time in water since taking delivery.

Looks great Chris!! I would of loved to have gotten her. Love that black bottom.

Good to see that you got her home. Enjoy it! If you are looking for a name, she was originally called Marilyn.

Thanks for the positive responses. Sorry about the cockpit cover in the pictures. Rain was in the forecast. Has been raining here in Michigan pretty much non stop all week.

Phil, I will probably will not be putting a name on the boat. I really like the look of the clean black transom.

If I were to but a name on. I thought Trick or Treat would be a good one.

Thats what I would have named it too if I bought that boat!

Its a unique color scheme, but its good to be different. Now all it needs is twin turbos and a gen 7 DFI!:evilb:

Chris-
Nice clean ride- good luck.
