Buster: I will fax the article when I get back to work next week, its in my office and I'm on vaca. I live down in Winthrop, would like to check out your rigs some time if that works for you. Bob, I looked at a red 20 like you describe a couple of years ago, the boat was kept up in Newburyport MA if I remember right, it was called the "Diamond Cutter" as the owner was in the concrete cutting business. A few years later the boat appeared in my town for some repairs at a local marina and it appeared to be in tough shape. It was painted and I think re-powered and just as recently as last year was advertised in the Auto Hunter for sale for something like 12G's. The boat is now white with some sort of graphics. I may have some pics of it when I originally looked at it to purchase, I will try to find and post. I remember it having Gil dry exhaust and was loud...Matt

That sounds like the boat. I sold it is 86 and it was garage kept till then. I had heard it was stolen and recovered without the motor shortly after selling to dealer. Anything you come up with would be appreciated. Thx, Bob

Ya, No problem, Let me know sometime when you have free time.
Actually I do recall talking to Diamond cutter a few times at the beach years ago but......? That was a cool little boat.

Sounds good Buster, I'll get you that test next week...Bob, I will try to find those pics...Matt

here's a little summer teaser...same pic as before, but the sutphen photos are few and far between...i'll send a couple of others later...some mine, and some not...
...chris

or try this one, it's an outboard twin from guilford, ct...

or, maybe an awesome 39 for sale in south-eastern, ct..?

Christian: nice, like the color scheme on yours. That 39 looks nice also, what kind of power does it have? Do you have one of Jesse's bikes? Thanks for the pics...Matt

Matt, Congrats on the baby! Your old Sutphen is still in the same condition, although I did buy a new bilge pump and blower and will be re-wiring it. We took it out for a ride last year and some smoke from behind the dash. The blower seized which caused the smoke. I haven't really had any time to work on it, and then all the damn snow on the cover cracked the windshield. We will probably do the gimble bearing and seal this summer and I also plan on re-doing the engine hood. That one looks like the crisper bin of a refrigerator flipped over and put on the back of the boat. Between the Cobra, and the twins, and my wife is due in a month, I don't really have too much free time.
