Have lots of video of it but no way of getting them on the computer... Still torn apart in his driveway from junking the motor the first run out last year :fingers: :fingers:
Was that the one with the "Rough Idle" from Youtube? LOL
) but we all know how that one ended. So what will the next homerun be? If I knew the answer I'd go into the boat business
J540's is a 20.5 Biggest P.O.S. on the water
First let me say I really like the lines of the Cole 25. That being said I dont know if someone (lots of someones) would shell out 60K +++ to build a new one when there are some really nice used ones out there. I dont know what the next latest and greastest boat will be, but my intuition tells me it will be a freshly tooled boat and not a recycled mold from the past. What were talking about here is a homerun, gotta have it, get in line to get one in the mold, gonna pay what ever to get one deal. certain boats have gained that type of status for a while, some have gone the distance (21 RC comes to mind). In most cases that demand runs its course and fades away. Look at the DCB mach 22, great lines, great performance, highly coveted for the better part of a decade. I believe that mold has been sold (dont quote me on this) The reality is there were a bunch made and taken care of by there owners, and you can pick them up for a lot less than a new build. The Magic deckboat also comes to mind (That mold got some heavy use
Me too
I believe that boat is pictured on page 54 and 55, (centerfold), of the July 2000 issue of Hot Boat Mag, which I am looking at. Beautiful boat, love that long deck. I talked to Jim once about building me a v-drive bare hull, but he was way too proud of them. I'm like Dave and wanted to know the difference in the Superhawk, Nighthawk and the 220. It looks like the deck may not step up as much at the edge, on the later Nighthawk,(220) model. I may have some older brochures if I can find them. Does anyone know where the mold for the 220 is?
let me clarify,total #s? no idea, but between 89-late 95 west coast only did 2, i did the taping/masking, and Mancinni sprayed it. after that time i think Cole got tired of sending drivers out to Elsinore to pick up hulls and got his own glass shop goin. those were the days.
I have alot of pics of me towing this POS into the docks after running
.
Well I asked the same question to the owner of one being sold last year and he said not well . Granted it was a holiday weekend but he said over 40 mph in the rough it got rough . Lol . Really kind of made me sad . Not what I wanted to hear
Dont just take my story . I was bummed and did not pursue it but I will always wonder . I have the inside on a 28 Cole but I think it's more then the wife and I can handle alone on the river .
Id like to drive one, we'll see. Is the 28 the same bottome design? The 250 does't look too dee of a V really.
28's are fine on the river, my wife and I do it all the time!!!
