Sold my baby 6 years ago and got it back yesterday in the same condition Flawless! The nicest SST outboard on the planet period.

Thanks 42 year old boat started life as a Jet BTW

I did that very same thing with my first boat. It was a syndicate t-deck jet . Put a 200 black max on it.Was awesome. That's how you fix a jet boat when it breaks.

 

[Boat211]

I dig that thing. Congratulations!!

You have any idea who rigged it. It was either Steve or Pat. Painted by Larry.

 

[Hydroman55]

Painted by a guy in Oregon .

 

[Hydroman55]

Before I sold it.

Dan Tegman set the boat up I think he goes by the name “tunnel vision “ on the site.

Bad ass boat.
And a
Bad ass garage!

The SST is one of the best looking boats of all time IMO. Yours is a beauty.

[Hydroman55]

Thanks to all I’m stoked for sure! Hopefully beers and water this weekend

I know exactly who rigged that boat, I did! it was mine originally as a jet, I converted it over to an outboard and painted it, built the jack plate and trailer too...

Im also a sucker with small tunnels with big motors on the back! Beautiful ride! Hope to see you on the water for a cold one soon.

I actually had two SST’s the other was named BAD COMPANY, I think it went to someone in AZ.

Great Find and Story...


Years ago when we were kids we use to ride our bikes over to Sleek Craft and Wriedt Boats to look at the eye candy. I'm sure glad we didn't grow up in the video game era...

Hey Dan
Glad you found the post was going to look you up and tell you that I got it back.
Plan is to install a 300XS

That will work well with her, the SST was a little heavy. Back in 1987 the Bridgeport was as big as I could get. Man it sure looks good! Still the original paint on the trailer?

Still same flawless....I always use a big mud flap on the truck as did the guy I sold it to. And no salt water.
The last owner used 10 times never beached, stored inside, etc.
Boat is inside my Havasu garage with the 2 others.
If your ever in Havasu with your DCB look me up!

Beautiful boat, glad you got it back.
