Full Throttle Powerboats in Jacksonville, FL makes the ONLY current production STV. Triad built them before that, and Summerford before that. You'll have to call FTP for pricing on a new one.

Reasonable pricing on a new one depends on what you consider to be "reasonable". I would imagine that if you're not prepared to spend in the neighborhood of $20K for a fairly basic model (boat and trailer), you probably ought to re-think whether you want a new STV or not.

Again...there's only one place to get a new one...FTP.

Nice boat!!....but $28,000 for a boat minus motor is a bit much! You're going to have $45,000+ in that before you know it. You can get one hell of used boat for less that half that price.

But, if you want new.....that looks like an amazing boat! I wish I had the cash for one :thumbsup:

Its not the same one that is in Rich's pic.

Notice the lack of black paint at the lip of the drivers compartment.....(what the hell do we call that)

How many Black and Yellow STV's has he made so far?

the Yellow and Black in my pic is Andy Driver's(DCI) boat . It Is Sweet !!!

All are very nice boats and I am sure they are some of the best built. I would love to have an STV and someday soon I will. But $28K in my mind is way to much money for a boat without power ,especially in todays economy. So I will be buying a used older one when the time comes.

The yellow/black was mine. Picked it up in Jasper with big intentions. Life happens and I sold it to a guy who had it 2 days.....his wife said sell it. Now in New Brunswick living as a four seter with a ProMax on it. Still one of the sexiest colour schemes in my mind.

I would call and talk to Jack before I made that decision. You might be surprised. Just the difference in money spent on guages can be astronomical. Both Rich's and Braxtons are BOTH very nice boats. But if you compare the difference in rigging I bet it (the $) would amaze most people.

The 28K EURO had full interior,led nav lighting, interior lights, custom cover, complete gauge setup with monster gauges, rigged completly ready for motor, tandem trailer, custom removeable ski pole, custom built extra left side console. Basically fully loaded boat minus motor.

A standard layup Rocket with front seat, rear seat, interior, 2 color gelcoat ready to rig with no trailer starts at $15,500...

Same setup in a Euro start at $17,200

For Quartershots...yes, they are priced on the site. For STV's it says to call for pricing.


so im guessing Full Throttle is the way to go.

No guesswork involved. They're the only ones legally licensed to make STV's.

It's a little further east in Nova Scotia and has 3 seats. Turned out pretty nice and Dreamer you are right - the colour is awesome on the water.
