Now We're talking Eugene! She's red and I bet that neither Your S-2 or Whaler is, so let's find You this one so You have something to work on :wink:
I could probably point out a few guys that are into Superboats and that know where most of the unusual ones are, but it would help if You sent me a P.M. with a little more info as far as the last known location/ownership of the boat. To start with, contact Greg Guimond, http://www.donzi.net/forums/member.php?u=5170
he's always a good source of information.

Then try George (ghost28) on screamandfly.com,

He knows about a lot of Superboats. Otherwise hopefully Your offshoreonly.com inquiry turns something up.

This particular boat was in Maryland.
It had a Richie Zul engine and set up very nicely.
I am not really looking to buy anything but if this one presented itself, that could change.

Almost every boat that I have owned has come from the east coast.
It would be nice to find something out west but not in my cards I guess.

Not really.
IF and I mean a big If, I were to purchase something it needs to be a 22-24' boat with classic lines and a small cuddy.
The only two (west coast) that I happen to even remoteley like are Hallett and Lavey, but still not my sense of aesthetic.
The boat that I like in a 24' is the Warlock, but it does not have any room forward.

Pantera,older Superboats, Excalibur, Powerplay are more to my liking.

Another 24' with great lines is the 24' Progression, but I really like the sound of a V8.

One of the newer larger boats that I also like is the 29' Extreme. I would love to own one but Wardley still wants a good deal of money for his 2005.

When the wonderful Extreme 29 was designed the fellows had a 26' Scarab F1 in their shop. It's common knowledge that the hulls are extremely similar and both run 90's without any chine walking. If You could live without the cuddy I think the f1 up in WA that has been for sale for quite some time now could be had for close to $30K. It's listed by a broker for $39.5K, but the owner has had it on craigslist a week ago for $35K. Wonderful boat for the money and Larry Smith told me that he was very happy with how the stepped 26 and 43 turned out :yes:

Dear Mr. Richard Head,
Did you and your keyboard stay up half the night thinking of that witty comment? I was almost surprised that you were actually able to complete a sentence that anyone could understand. Didn't happen though.

If you want to look like you have any chance of becoming a board moderator, please stick to words that have one syllable. Trust me, it just suits you better.

Oh and by the way, I pee standing up. I am not so sure about you though.

Ken,
Howard 28 is a great boat, but my motivation to clean and polish bigger boats these days is fading.
My son is in college now and my free (or almost free) labor is gone.
Howard also makes a 25 but there are not too many around.
Bowriders and deck boats make up a large portion of the Western market, which is why I have kept to the East Coast manufacturers.
Flat forward decks have been the styling look that I have always liked.

Ok, back to the boats............

Eugene, I have been down the road you are about to travel. It is VERY tough to find a hull that is truly < 24' with a cuddy that you can sit up in bolt upright. Now, when I say < 24', I mean truly 24' from the tip of the bow to the back of the transom. If you want a closed deck only hull then you have to look a bit more. Having owned the Superboat 24 (and a 21) they are flyweights. Good for some conditions, but for others. Then there is the issue of what you want to spend for a < 24 footer. In my opinion, the Warlock 23XRI is a great all around fit. It is 23' on the money and an 8' beam which makes it a more useful 23 footer. It is a true 24 degree old school hull, you can't find that in 23 feet. It comes in closed deck, mid-cabin, or open bow. The closed deck has the most freeboard in its class, a big plus for 4' rolling seas with newbies on board. It also has a real cuddy, not just an overnighter. Don't overlook the Carrera though, tough package to beat for short money at $15k. A Warlock 23XRI will run $20k and a closed deck Hallett 240 will run $25k.

Now if you are just putting < 24' for the sake of writing it, there are bunches of options at 24 and change.

Also out of left field, I know of a mint Bernico if you will go weedeater which I am sure you won't LOL

The boating that I will be doing with this in on a large lake in Northern California and some on Lake Tahoe. Both lakes can get rough in the afternoon but I am not needing a boat that will take an extended beating.

My Magnum was great but the upkeep time on the twins and keeping it detailed took a great deal of work. Towing it meant that I needed a minimum of a 3/4 ton truck with either diesel or big block and it also had to be at least a crew cab with a long box. Storage was also a big cost.
On the other hand the 18 Classic took very little time to keep it detailed, and I could use my Blazer to tow it. The only problem was I missed having a little more freeboard and a small cuddy.
I have also found with time spent owning boats that 3 feet in length can really make a difference in upkeep,towing, etc. Both the Magnum and the Donzi have engine compartments that are problematic, which is true of many boats.

So at this point in my perfect world, I would like to have a single engine boat, an engine compartment that has some working room, a small cudy,between 22-24' and of course meets my aesthetic.:bonk:

The Superboat that I originally started this thread met that spec perfectly.

Check out the engine compartment on that boat.

http://www.donzi.net/forums/picture.php?albumid=56&pictureid=1526


http://www.donzi.net/forums/picture.php?albumid=56&pictureid=1513

Plenty of room to work and not have to be a contortionist or remove parts to get to other parts and it was a Zul engine.
To this day I am am pissed that I didn't buy the boat and just store it for future use.

I know of 4 Carrera's for sale at reasonable prices, but still not sure about the styling. Warlock 23XRI, most were open bow as well as Eliminator 23 Eagles.

24' Hallett is a great boat, but almost a little too civilized.
Same as the 24' Formula. Although if I get too much older these will probably fit the bill the best.

Thanks for all of your suggestions.

Banana 24 i/o are not that common.

Yep, the red one got turbos. You're right about the lack of Banana 24's, but a Pantera as the right project boat should be a possibility with all the guys out there happy to lend a helping hand. We all seen what You do when You get Your hands on a boat, so it's easy to get excited when one knows that You're about to go at it again. There's fellows like G.

I am now completely confused :nilly: so I must ask a few questions ........

1. Are you 100% in need of a true cuddy, where you can sit straight up?
2. Are you wanting an end to end measurement of < 24'?
3. Do you need a 24 degree hull?

Eugene,

1. Are you 100% in need of a true cuddy, where you can sit straight up?
That's my wish, but I have always sacrificed a little function over style.
I just don't want to have to crawl under a dash to get into whats basically a storage area.
2. Are you wanting an end to end measurement of < 24'?
I don't want to go over 24'. The Magnum at 27' was alot of boat and while I loved it, it was also a pain to deal with in many ways.
3. Do you need a 24 degree hull?
Not necessarily.

sidebar: did you actually see the Warlock 23 World Class Offshore OB in person years ago?
No, I spoke with the owner and he sent me a bunch of photos.
Keith Sayre had me look at that boat. Although, he also knew that I was also not really interested in OB's.
I have seen many Warlock 23's though and love their lines. Just wish they configured access to the bow area.
This one is for sale, but it needs a great deal of work.

Eugene, I really like my Warlock but not a fit for you. If you throw in 24 footers you get to a lot more options all around. Most of the fun is the chase anyway :wink:

Eugene, I know the Mag 27 sport is behind you now, but I'm presently tearing one down myself to restore and wondered if you had to do anything differently at all, what might that be? ..................We certainly can't do nothing about the small cabin LOL.........Sorry for the sidetrack

There was a great deal of thought put into the Magnum and I was really happy with the way it ultimateley turned out.
The only thing that I would have liked to have done was change out the TRS drives to Bravos.

I really liked the paint scheme. It was the only thing that I had little control over. The person I used to do it was 70 years old, and only painted custom cars. He agreed to do it if I stayed out of his shop and could only come back to see it after it was about 75% done. This was not something that I am usually comfortable with, but Don's work was really something special and I wanted him to have a go at it.
He really came through with accenting the lines of the boat, making it contemporary and I was happy with the outcome. But I also love the classic look of a solid color hull with a stripe or two just above the waterline, along with the Magnum logo. If I were to do it again that is probably where I would go with it.

There was also a nice size Magnum logo embroidered into a piece of white naugahyde that was done. I was going to stitch it into the hatch cover upholstery but never got around to it. I sold it to someone on OffshoreOnly after the boat was sold.

Eugene,
Here is a thought .........The attached Carerra 238 is a pretty unique hull as the forward open bow section is smaller then most hulls in its class. This is a different hull then the 236 which was more of a river cruiser. Because it is smaller is has a bigger mid cabin area. Given you have an excellent track record of planning and execution, how about a project that would include a composite hard top of sorts, vaccum bagged and the the like so that it would be super strong and one person light. I think this Carerra would lend itself to that based on the smaller front section and will the deck profile being what it is, might give the best of both worlds and look cool like a race hatch. Here is a pic of the 2002 which were built pretty stout. This one has a 496 and XR drive.

Eugene, You really did a bang up job with the Magnum! - Alone, the hull itself has a great starting point, but few can really finish as you did and take it a step higher. Mine's a '76 it's got the TRS cutouts and probabely will go with Bravo's likely. Funny how alot of us with 18 Donzi's at one time or another move up to the 27' Mag sport..............................Good luck with your new search.

This is not a mint boat as stated, but hopefully the hull is solid. Interesting project?

Okay now you've gone and done it! :mad: :D

It looks as if there is no room for a bench seat in the back though.

I looked at that one. It is too big and I also am always leary about blower or supercharged motors that I haven't done or know who did them.

I am still going to keep my sights on something thats 24' or less.
There was a time when I thought that the extra two or three feet didn't make a difference but that is not the case.

Eugene,
I have been down the road you are about to travel. The goal for me was NOT to arrive at 24' and to have a true cuddy cabin for the kids. I felt that being under 24' just made everything a bit easier all around and there was limited downside. After more then a year looking, the options were

1. Warlock 23XRI-spoke to many owners and each was very happy. Most of the hulls Carter built came with B3 drives and 454MagMPI which stock was 65MPH even with the 24 degree deadrise. I know of two clean closed decks for sale currently.
2. Carerra 238-not many were built and it offered a very deep cabin and freeboard.
3. Sonic 24-not really a 24 and ironically a pop of a Donzi hull. HUGE cuddy but mostly built for twin wackers.

Those are the ONLY hulls that measure < 24' tip to transom. You want "the look" which is tough to get. My Warlock 23 Offshore wacker has the look but once you go to I/O you loose all that space. I ended up giving up and buying an Ultra 23XS with an 18 degree hull and small pad. Less then 24' is really tough to find, the above 3 are the only options, annoying as it may be.

This 24' Superboat is on L.I. but needs a lot of work. The upside is when it's done, it'll be a wavecrushing 24'er with a cuddy.
