2000 Howard 26' Cat
MOTOR:
Larry Peto
516 CI Chevy Big Block 454
8-71 "Blower Shop" Blower
(2) 1050 Dominator Carbs
Dyno = 929.2HP @ 5900RPM
"Currently set up for AV gas"
DRIVE:

Imco hydraulics
TRAILER:
2000 Ellis triple axle
Chrome wheels
AUDIO:
(2) JL Audio subs
(2) JL Audio amps (1000 watts)
(4) 7.7 JL Audio mids with tweets
Rockford Fosgate head unit with remote control
Dual external controls (pucks)(1 on the bow, 1 by the driver)
(2) dedicated batteries
Custom red lights displaying the amps and subs under the bow
Custom boxes with plexiglass covers for the subs
Custom display for the amps
Over $7,000.00 invested
Top end of motor was recently re-built by Peto (about 20 hours on new topend). Top end of drive was recently re-built by Max Machine Worx in Havasu (2 trips on new drive). Custom interior lighting throughout. (3) batteries with digital voltage meters - (2) dedicated to the audio system and (1) to the starter. (3) automatic bilge pumps. GPS speedo.
I had the entire boat re-rigged last year by Maveric Marine in Van Nuys when Teague pulled the motor so I could send it back to Peto for top end. I put about $10,000.00 into the re-rig. I got a bunch of parts powder coated and cleaned up 100% of the electrical (as you can see in the pics).
This boat runs about 110-115 light on weigth. I ran it up at Moabi with a labbed 30, low fuel, and 1 other guy. It was the fastest I've gone at 116 on the GPS. It'll consistently run right around 100-105 with 4 people, an ice chest, and ful tanks (although I don't condone it :D ).
I am selling this boat because I had a kid a year ago and it's not the best "family" boat. I am currently looking at the 30' Magic Deck.
I have about $100,000.00 invested and I am asking $75,000.00.
Here are a few pics. If anyone needs more detailed pics, I can get more.

bump:hammer2:

[eliminated1]

let me know when you are going to be in havi and i would love to check it out in person . i just got off the phone with howard custom boats and they even have me more interesred in looking at it call me whenever 480-313-1475.

[mbrown2]

Boat looks really tight Terry....system looks like it really hits as well...dual slot loaded enclosures....Good luck with the sell.
BTW...anybody worried about setup for AV...you should run AV or better in any motor with a whipple, turbo or roots or you are just cheating on your wallet and eventually she will find out...

[MR.rvrluvr]

sweet boat but the steering wheel is upside down...:D :D

[dumbandyoung]

its not smart to post you phone number on here. alot of weirdos..send it in a pm

[acatitude]

nice boat but then it is a Howard:D :D
good numbers for 929 hp..... what boost are you running? my howard has run a best of 116 with 7.5 boost at 1000 hp, pump gas, so your getting some great numbers if accurate. good luck, guess mine wasnt overpriced at 85k

At this point, I personally do not have any plans of being in Havasu. I had a friend who was gonna tow it out there for me and fascilitate the sale. However, if a had a serious buyer interested, I would take a trip out there.
I am posting more pics in a bit. I will give u a call tomorrow. Sorry, today was pretty hectic with work......

I hear you. Cant go wrong with a Howard.....:D
Not 100% on the boost, but my best edumacated guess would be about 8-9 lbs. At the time I was testing a few different props. I had about 3 out there. I believe this speed was ran with the 30 labbed, but it also coulda been the 32 labbed. Not 100% sure. The temp, prop, and the chop seemed to work really good that weekend. :confused:
You sell yours for 85K?

Anytime brotha;) I remember you had my back a few years ago in a thread in the sandbar. I hope my buddy buys this rig. He is very interested in it. Im a "Lil" boat guy but I would roll the phukk out of this rig;)

[Rocky]

Was this boat for sale a couple of years ago? I could have sworn i have seen it in the Mesa Az area at a local boat shop. It is a bad Ass boat.:)

I bought it in October of 2004 from Steamin Rice's father who lived/lives in Phoenix. Coulda been.......if a couple years ago was 2004.....:D

Yeah, I remember that thread.......we were 2 dolphins amongst a sea of sharks...flipper always prevails!
I hope he buys it too. He'll be stoked on it. It's an awesome boat. Howard speaks for itself and so does Peto.

Bump for a Howard brother. Are you lookin' at the Howard deck?

Thanks for the bump! Hey, do you or your wife drive around town in a White Suburban/Tahoe (?) with a white Howard sicker on the back?
I spent some time over there at the L.A. Boat show. We'll see. I wish they made a bigger deck, like a 30.
As soon as I sell this, I'll get serious.....

Do ya think you need a 30? We have had 2 families (10 people) on ours and it still felt like we had plenty of room. Or are you lookin' for the bigger boat for rough waters? We were out last Saturday in Havi when it was literally 4 foot chop or more. It was a wild ride but manageable at 70mph plus. Just flew over the top of it. We launched one time where the bow was at least about 5ft higher than the stern and flew for about 2 seconds in the air. That was it. We were done. I would have kept going if my family wasn't in the boat.
On the sub - not us.

HAHA! No, I definitely dont NEED a 30.:eek: But unfortunately ($$$), I want a 30. :D I just like how much bigger they are (even though it's only 2 feet). It's a feeling I get when I'm in a 30 as opposed to a 28 or smaller. Not sure if that's the answer you were looking for.......;)
There are a couple people floating around town here with Howard stickers on their rides.....thought it might be you.

It was the answer I was lookign for. I know what you mean about the 2 ft because it is not just 2 feet longer, it seems like the boat is about 25% bigger overall. I was seriously looking at stretching myself to get into a 30 when I was dealing with Magic. I couldn't decide between the 28 or the 30 and $$$ was certainly a big factor. That's when this DEAL on the Howard came about. It was a no brainer and I could not pass it up.

No thanks......

[patridge188]

is that a dent on the right side in the front? and the fitting hangin off the back, wats that for?

[tcook33]

There is a portion of the rubber that is damaged. Nothing on the hull.
The fitting I am assuming you are speaking of, is water for the drive. It's forced water and it dumps on top of the drive to keep it cool.
