Default 38 Question

Mike,

To the best of our knowledge that boat was built with the 800's but not sure its the only one ever built. We took boat on trade from Kevin in Indiana about 5 years ago and he used primarily in FL. Bob them traded in his 42 pro charged boat on it and it went to LOTO.

That is all the history we have on it.

Regards,

Team Shogren

That might be one that Michael (Grand Prix Marine in Cinci) had the factory put together. I remember him having one like that and heard it run at his shop a couple of times. I'll tell Michael that you are looking for info, and if it was his, he can probably fill in some details.

For some reason I think that mine was a 1998 but I will check. I also remember one other 38 fever being built with #6 drives. Mine had a pair of Merc 1000SC motors from the old Ohio Steel race boat and had B&M two speed trans. It had LOTS of custom things done when it was made. I will see if I can find the file on it with the hull #........what is the hull # for the one you have?
