Interesting boat I think that’s first one I have seen that size

I like this cool cruiser for sure.

To me the hull looks a lot like the original Cheetah 24' Offshore circa 1974. Rigged about the same with the MDS Stern Power and Hardin BBC power.
I kinda like this boat, how does it perform?

I believe the owner said it ran Low to mid 80s.

TTT...
Owner is a good guy and I am sure he would be open to offers for anybody that might be interested.

Agree. Seen a couple of Guy Hahn built Manta Ray jet boats in the 20' range. Everything about the deck design to the hull looks unique. Very cool boat. Look forward getting some more specs on the model and photos from the cabin. I love that it's original and in such a nice shape. I wonder when it was last splashed?

Just thought I’d bump this, might be a fun little project, take a look make an offer you never know the worst thing he could say is no.

LOL sure

LOL sure

The guy has no reason to lie to me I didn’t GPS the boat, are comments like this really necessary? If you don’t believe it don’t buy it! I love this place.

LOL sure

In good running order 930 hp, 980 ftlbs torque might not be out of the question. We don't know drive ratio, prop pitch or weight, looks al lot like a Dana offshore to me.
