3 posts and all spam! :rolleyes: granted this is a perfect place to flog a boat, but this isnt the classifieds! And the sandbar isn't the spam section. If you were to take a few minutes and read the rules yoiu would know this, but since you didn't .... I doubt you are here for any other reason to sell your crap!

Just trying to off my boat. To tell you the truth I was wondering about the worth of the v drive befor i started parting it out. Anyways I've always been told it was kinda a rare boat becouse of the open bow with a v drive. If anyone knows anything about it I'd like to hear from you. I might even keep it if it's worth fixing........Thanks

well that would have been a better thread! There's a pile of knowledge on this place! Post a ?? thread in V drive section and ask some questions about it.

That is a cool v-drive. Rare?...yes. Worth much? probably not. Cobra wasn't lighting the world on fire with their v-drives.
How does that thing handle with the delta pad on the bottom? What kind of speeds? Doesn't look like it had any cavitation plates?

Boat handled good, It had hyd trim tabs but one got smashed when it was hit. boat did about 70 ish with the wind to your back, no cooler and one person. It was a fun boat but it's no race winner

Let me get this straight....:devil:
You had a 383 SBC with roughly 400 HP on a 22.5 foot open bow boat that had an odd v-drive set-up that did 70 ish? How fast did it go when you weren't towing it with your car....you know...on the water? :D
Evol805....do yourself a favor and don't post that info in the v-drive section if you want to be taken seriously. If I had to guess, and this is coming from someone who has owned 5 v-drives of which 2 were day cruisers with nice HP behind them...and 70 MPH is tough to come by in a big boat with a small block. If I had to guess, I would say you might have been running 50 MPH. Don't feel bad, my first v-drive had a speedo and it said 70+ MPH. Then I got a GPS and it turned out I was doing 45 MPH. Was still funny how I was faster than several 100 MPH jet boats...at 45 MPH. :D

09-18-2007, 07:27 PM
this is alot lighter then a day lounger bro. I have a 24 foot cc with a 225 that does 40 and it's made out of kevlar(boat is almost 5000#)my v drive is at least 25 to 30 mph faster. And by the way if you think im full of it about the cc then come look at the gps!!! It's all good maybe try my prop guy I'll give you his #

Dyno smyno...the boat is 25-30 MPH faster than his CC that does 40 MPH. It was built by some guy that knows what he is doing. I always go to the guys that don't know what they are doing. I am really just a hater who is tired of being passed by bass boats. :D

I think it is a cool v-drive project...but I love anything v-drive. I would call Cobra and see if they rigged it and get any details and confirm if it is even a Cobra. I suspect it was ordered blank and rigged by someone else. That delta pad looks interesting. $1,800 might be wishful thinking with all the fiberglass/gel work needed, no motor, no cav plates. Interior looks decent. But, for the right guy...it might be a steal.
Evol....got any other details? Got other pics? Got pics of your wife or gf? That is what everyone is waiting for here anyway.

It's a big project. It's been sitting for about 4 years and the floors need new ply. Int is ok if you spent some time on it, I do have most of the stuff..less short block I've got some prices on the glass work around 800 to 1000. If you want the hull come and get it. I think I'm just going to part it out and cut it up.

You would get more money out of it parting it out, even if you part it out cheap. Looks like the trailer got a bit banged up too.
That boat doesn't look like 22.5' and the freeboard is really low...looks more like a 21 or 20.5'. I know I have been giving you a difficult time, but I think it is cool.
I'll take the hull off your hands if you are going to pull the parts off. I need a v-drive project like I need a hole in the head, but strange v-drives are my specialty. :D

I would think you could find some takers in the v-drive section. There is a guy by the name of Mouzer that would probably take that thing off of your hands. Or...BigProppa. Both have been known to buy a project or 20.
If that boat is 20.5...that would make more sense. Delta pad 20.5 with significant HP will do 70 ish with proper tuning.
Hey...nothing is free, even when it is free. I could easily have $20K into that boat and still not be running. :D I'd end up parking it for 4-5 years as I am just getting another project up and running.
