I can think of around 20 offhand. I'll ask Coen to make sure.

The real question is how many tempest I/Os have the y2k bottom? I personally know of 3.The Zuperboat is 1,Richie Zuls was modified to y2k and the old Media Master has also been modified,Any others.

Rick The sides of my tempest are cored so does that make it a lightweight layup with the better more expensive glass?

KN

Thanks Rick, I personally like the looks of the old deck, do you still have it? Say if some one wanted to order a boat with the old deck.

Thanks, Kirk

Zuperboat,
A cored side could mean 2 things. A Heavy Duty race hull, very strong, or it could be a lightweight. What year is your hull. If it's after the early 90's, it' probably a lightweight.

Kirk,
Yes, we still have the tempest deck mold. You'll have to really sweet talk john to bring it out of retirement.

Rick Thanks for the info.The boat is a 99 tempest with a y2k bottom.My guess is its a lightweight and not a race hull.Weighs in at 4k dry.to me thats light if not the lightest 30 ever built.Skip from MRD told me when first assembled with a 750 it ran 100 with out much dialing time. KIRK That was my thought in 2002,I approached JOHN with it and he told me know way.About 2 months after I bought my tempest as a repo out of texas.Any way best of luck asking.

I also ask JC about building a boat like the Zuperboat.
He told me no as well...
Reason being that he had only sold 2 Tempests in 3 years and when he changed to the Y2K deck, he got 10 orders the first year...
Hey Rick,
I know nothing about building boats, but would it be a big deal to drag out the old deck mold?
Why not offer the boat either way?

Tempest deck:
First off, it''s been outside for years, and needs a complete going over. At least a week is needed refinish it. And right now, we're alittle too busy to bring it inside and start working on it.
