I'm going to look at a 92 Sutphen 18" gen III o/b for sale locally. Any comments on design or build Quality? Thanks MartyD

may have been seriously abused, large cracks on either side of transom heading toward gunnel 2" below deck joint. I did not make an offer , thanks for your reply. Marty D ps the gentleman is now storing it uncovered under some trees.

..if you're looking for a small Sutphen, track down Richie Jr. in Lake Hopatcong NJ. he has the small molds & could put a new one together for you....

how about a 20' Sutphen 210ss 1999 350 mag.?

Small block in the 210 will be too small.

That boat eats horspower. You'll feel like your sitting still.

You need at least 500hp to have some fun, adn get in the low-mid 80's.

boat does 60-64 w/great gph. give this small block guy a break! will-ya?

Don't mean to bash. I would have kept my thoughts to one post, but I needed some posts to set hyperlinks (hate that rule). I've got a small block in my 18 footer and it blows away 90% of the v-bottoms on Lake Havasu, but it is running about 325hp. I'm not changing my answer though. If I were to do it again, I'd go big-block or screamin' outboards. Just my 2 cents...
