Fast Non Performance boats.

So who has and what Is it. Boats that wouldn't normally be fast in "recommended stock form". Cuddy cabins, bowriders, etc. My recent addition is a 1989 18.6' Seaswirl Sierra cuddy cabin, with 99 3.0 Johnson 225 with some work done, turning a lab finished 22 pitch big ear chopper approx. 2 inch below the pad. Runs about 60 with me and a half a tank. 55 with almost full tank and wife and 3 kids. Im happy for now, eventually im sure Ill lighten it up a bit in the future, and raise the motor the last inch itll go up on the transom.

I had a 1980 something Aqausport 18' 6'' deep V bow rider (only one I have ever seen) with the lay down seats, windshield etc.. Ran a 200 merc spinning a 22p big blade chopper to the 6k mark.. I got it for a family boat. Hi sides, real safe for my toddler son to roam around in. Thought just a cruiser. That sucker was a rocket. It had to do mid 60's. I never would have guessed.......

Recent rear end shot. On its way from Colorado, and what the motor was on.
Oh and the seaswirl spent 20 yrs in a barn so its actually really clean and in good shape. I stripped it of all the padded interior and cleaned it up. Reinforced the transom to handle the extra weight and power.

Similar to my setup. Its as fast as I hoped, but always room for improvement. Its perfect for the kids. I think ill eventually cut it into a bow rider when the kids are too big to use the cabin. Needs more seating.

The red boat I sold, and got back after 5-6 years. Never got it back in the water. Took it apart to clean it up and paint again, but was convinced to sell it due to having 2 boats that needed time and work. It actually went back to the family of the guy that built it. Its actually a copy of a 16 Action but it was built by Concept boats which is still in business. The owner who built it actually called me to talk about it. There are a couple "kids" of the family that are trying to get the same boats to have, they want them all to be the same exact boat. I was reluctant to sell it, but after hearing the cause I went ahead and sold it to them. I miss it, but it wasn't a good size for the family. So ill rock the Swirl for awhile.
