Re: Needs to Go
 

Well, I wanted to let everyone know today was the day. The boat has a new owner as of 12:00 noon today. The rig went to northern Pa. I want to thank Ted Link at LINKS MARINE for all his heip. Now its time to go to MI to pick up the 41 I have bought. Of course its a THOROUGHBRED-VELOCITY. Looking forward to this one. This will be the 3rd one I haved owned .Nothing like these boats, in my opinion. :cool:

Re: Needs to Go
 

Congrats Bob, what power is in the 41? Bill

Re: Needs to Go
 

the only 41 I know of in MI has BLUE OVAL FORDS :eek:

Re: Needs to Go
 

Bill, The boat has a pair of 600 in SVO FORD motors naturally aspirated. #3 drives. I have to sea try to see if everything is ok. BOB By the way you have a nice web site. See you on the water.

Re: Needs to Go
 

GOOD DEAL Bob!!!!!!! Congrats!! Looking forward to seeing the 41 :cool:

Re: Needs to Go
 

Congrats Bob on the sale of the 26 and congrats on the new purchase,I looked at it and you will be happy with it,it is a sweet ride,one of those 41,s will be in my future but for know I have to stick to my 32 .

Re: Needs to Go
 

that 41' was Steve's boat originally wasn't it? Saw it for sale about 2 years ago? Looked a little ruff.

Re: Needs to Go
 

No it wasnt Steve's original boat. This was built for a guy in Fl in 1991 with the BIG FORD power and #3's. The boat is a little rough but give me some time and it will have a new identity. It was also the featured article in Powerboat magazine in April of 1991 and retailed for $291,000.

Re: Needs to Go
 

Congrats Bob...good luck with the 41

Re: Needs to Go
 

Hey Bob,
I know someone who can do all of the paint work.Call me

Re: Needs to Go
 

Congrats Bob! I look forward to seeing your new ride this summer.

Bill - I may give you a call regarding paint as well.

Rick

Re: Needs to Go
 

Thank you guys for all of your support on this one. Like I said before it needs a little TLC, so with some time I will have it the way I want. Bill mayby we will talk. I have a guy coming to possible DRY ICE BLAST the paint off. He said it will take the paint off to the gel coat without damage to the gel. Then I will wet sand and buff the gel back to new. If it comes out pretty good I"ll leave it white for awhile. BOB. :cool:

Re: Needs to Go
 

Thanks for the plug there Bob, It's what we do here at Links Marine, I am coming down the home stretch on the Triple engine boat and hope to have it turn key by the end of the week, time will tell. glad I could help you with the sale.

Ted

Re: Needs to Go
 

Bob Powell. Congradulations on the sale. I recently bought an outboard powered 26' myself. Someone had mentioned that there was a Powerboats Test article on the boat back many years ago but I have been unable to locate a copy of the article. Do you have an info on the article? Todd

Re: Needs to Go
 

Waytoslow, HOT BOAT did an article on a friends 26 powered by twin v-6 johnsons in 1992. The boat ran 79 on radar at the performance trials. HOT BOAT could not get the boat to run over about 70, so STEVE STEPP had to take the wheel. What did you buy, and good luck. Boats run very well once you get some seat time. BOB :cool:

Re: Needs to Go
 

Bob, congrats on the sale of your 26. Good luck on your new purchase. That dry ice works. Joe Murray

Re: Needs to Go
 

Thanks, JOE MURRY. Do you have any experience with DRY ICE ? If so what can you tell me about it, good or bad as I only have one opinion and that is the guy that does it. BOB.

Re: Needs to Go
 

26 with a closed transon, 2,5's (260hp) w/speedmasters on a porta lift bracket. Todd

Re: Needs to Go
 

Who did you buy it from,and they will fly once you get a little seat time,good luck with it.

Re: Needs to Go
 

The 41 has arrived. Left on sunday nite at 11:30 pm, arrived in Michigan with snowy, rainy conditions. Took a test drive in between the nasty conditions, wow what tork! Hooked up and arrived in Pa 2:00 pm on Tuesday. With a little tlc and some time it will look like a new boat. Will post photos soon.
