I haven't seen this one before. I have often thought that 700's and nxt's would be a good reliable set up for a 36'. Also has a head. Not big on the dash It would take me a while to get used to not having my old school guages.

It's been out west for years, it went out there after being repo'ed in florida back around 2000. It used to have some pro charger motors that where about 700 hp.

I agree on the gauges. It just doesn't look right without a dash full of gauges.

I've run that boat...Before it had the new power in it. This dude bought it from a friend of mine to use in the Catalina Ski race. It ran in the mid to upper 70's with pro charged 500's. I don't think 150k investement was worth 10-15 mph!

She was at National Liquidators in FL around 2001-02. Interior needed work then, and still looks that way now. I think that is a great engine package for that boat. I like the technology of Smartcraft/Northstar setup, but I too miss the "old school" look of gauges. I would prefer a combination both.

02-02-2010 01:58 PMMust have been something wrong with the setup because I was running low 80's with 700 hp.
I remember it well, I tried bidding on it didn't make the cut-off... When it went out west a broker had it listed for a LOT more than I could have gotten it for at the auction.
700 package in that boat should be nice!

baywatch, It was originally a Bravo boat. Even on the Pro charger setup.
Geronimo36, I also would have thought the pro chargers would have pushed it faster. I had a '94 36' with 575 Eickerts, and it ran 77-78.

I can see what you mean by "interesting".
That "might" be the most cash I've seen someone drop on power/drives, for a boat that doesn't really seem worth it? I have to think he got some crazy good deal on that 700/NXT combo.....
There are sooooo many nicer used boats out there, that would be perfect for that power?
Oh well, at least it's safe to assume it runs good!

I agree!!! I love my old 36' and it is great family truckster with lots of cabin space for the kid but I can't imagine dumping that kind of jack for a repower.
If I could buy it for 85k swap engines with the 502's in mine and turn around and sell it for 70k I would take it LOL. I don't see that happening so I guess it will be another season of slow cruising between 50 and 60mph for me
I am curious to know how drives held up with the procharger set up that was on it before. I definately see the bravos as being the week link on a heavy boat once you do anything to the slow stock power.

02-03-2010 01:46 AMFor that kind of money, I would be looking at buying Kirk Smith's Drillin It 36 with 950's, 6's, and get to touch the century mark.

I think John Pompi did some work to it years ago, they should have sent it back to him or TNT for the rerig.

I am sure that this one will be holding its place in the classifieds for some time. A guy has a lot of options in this soft market for that kind of money so I don't see it selling very quickly.
Also, which 36' was the raindance #6 drives boat before the redo http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o26534-en.html ? That is another interesting one. Definately the paint on that one is a little "busier" than I prefer but I love the dual helm dash guage configuration etc..

02-03-2010 10:16 AMSounds just about right! I ran a best of 83 with Bravo's and a 1.5 gear ratio and 81 with Bmax and 1.30 gear ratio. I was at 720 hp back then but now I'm running 87 mph with 2" raised X and 800 hp and Bmax.
I think he still wants a lil too much but that is for sure one of the nicest 36's in my opinion. Only gripe I have is the shorter cockpit with the half stagger but from what Bob tells me that boat is a great runner!!!
Also, the 36' with 3a's out in Long Island is another great one but needs a little TLC but the price is right.
