The blowers are 14-71s. I had a set of 10-71s I bought for the project but the engine builder wanted to go with the larger blowers. Those guys are experts at spending other peoples money.

The boat looks very cool!

Mr too old, what was the name of those tabs being made by a guy on OSO, as replacements for the bennett sport tab? I thought they were 'Victory' or something.

That's right. Victory.

They're made in Canada.

Jon Fuller · 22-11-2004, 01:09 AM

Too Old · 22-11-2004, 01:14 AM

Well you beat me to the address.

I just went to find it.

Here's a picture of his tab.

Too Old · 22-11-2004, 01:15 AM

Here's another small Sutphen for the Captain.

Jon Fuller · 22-11-2004, 01:18 AM

Is that another 21 then?

It's a nice looking boat, any good?

Jon Fuller · 22-11-2004, 01:19 AM

I think that pic is a prototype, the web site shows them longer, and with more stifening webs on.

Oh no, hang on, that's a single ram model innit

Too Old · 22-11-2004, 01:28 AM

Yes....the photo is of a 21. I don'y know much about the 21s except they've been around for a long time.

The smaller boats, 21 and 26 ft are built buy another Sutphen family member in New Jersey.

That's the fella!

It was '03, I thought I took some pics of it, but can't find em.

Is that the same length as yours?

Too Old · 22-11-2004, 01:48 AM

Bill ran V-12s in that boat for a few years. He got them from Mercury who had experimented with them. After a few years, parts became hard to find and expensive so some V-8s went back in.

Bill's boat is also a 39. Mine is configured a little differently because of the staggered motors. He has a bit more cockpit room.

Jon Fuller · 22-11-2004, 01:51 AM

Ah yes, merc were agents for Lambo for a while weren't they!

I remember seeing a pic of Keith Eikert standing with a merc badged Lambo once

Jon Fuller · 22-11-2004, 01:52 AM

Captain Chaos · 22-11-2004, 01:54 AM

Mebbe, but nothing of any practical use to anyone, including me!
