nice old boat with classic lines. will never go out of style. its' a nice running boat,(75-80mph) with good turn key power. It was never a race boat. it was set up like one but never intended to go racing. it was a custom order back in 1982, that boat doesn't have many hours on it.

the motors are merc cyclones. innovation marine built them i believe, (for mercury). they have never been apart and have a claimed hp of 490. i was also told they were only 400 hp. if that boat goes 102 mph on 400ish hp that would be the most efficient hull i have ever seen on a true 32ft boat. that boat is not light either, it was an extra 1000 bucks back in 1982 for kevlar and the owner opted to go with regular glass. he also told mid. exp. that if the boat didn't go 85 mph he didn't want it! i don't think the boat ever went that fast but it runs strong, solid and smooth.

did this boat have a wing on the back? there are 2 miami vice episodes that have a boat like that or that same boat: one was The Great Mccarthy and the other episode I cant remember the name......Those midnights are real nice...there was one here in coral gables/ miami that sat behind a house for many years but no longer there but I believe that one had speedmasters....

how you see the boat in the pics now is exactly how it was in 1982. never had a wing. the only thing different is the red seats, they used to be silver. the boat is as original and complete as is gets. the boat was delivered to wilson NY in 1982 and has been here eversince the gentelman from PA bought it (2006 or 2007). I'm sure he still has the original target trailer that went with the baot.
