Sold Brand New Demon mono

[Danny King]

I will take it. Been waiting for one of these to pop up! I will send you a PM.

And just like that it becomes obvious that wasn’t a lot of money for that boat…funny how things work out.

I have always said the value of anything is what someone will pay for it. Has anyone seen what the toy K&O outboards are selling for? Some of the rare ones are fetching $3000.
I saw one of these same Demon hulls race at the Winter Nats many years ago and it was smoking the field.

 

[Mark Poole ModVP]

Tom, I think almost all of these boats were set up with sub surface drive tubes coming out of the bottom. That could have caused some of the cornering issues. The right size turn fin with a break in it might be the ticket.

Do I see a LARGE Mod VP in the future!

 

[Mark Poole ModVP]

Nope, not going to molest such a cool old hull that is proven to be fast. Besides, I have several different large Mod-VP's that people have never seen.

 

[Tom Foley]

Awesome! Sounds fun Tom. Yes, a lot of rigging you could try on that boat. I have no doubt you can make it turn in smooth water.

A lot like kneel down runabouts of today. They flat turn with a side mounted turn fin as opposed to the old " roll up " style boats. Here is mine .

It was a great deal! It took serious willpower for me not to buy it! I am glad Mark pulled the trigger......

That makes we wish I would have kept mine! Will look bad azz on the water!

Back when I ran kneeler outboards, most runabouts were roll up style except for the DeSilva’s, they flat turned just like a hydro. Many of the new runabouts also run an auxiliary rudder in addition to the dagger fin on the side.

Thanks Jeff for packing the boat so well. Got it this afternoon.

Good deal!

I have one as well ! Putting one of my VAC 45 s in it with a turn fin on the right chine at the transom and possibly a small keel fin on center to see if we can make it turn!

exactly how I would set it up! It will run good, even on oval.

I set the forward edge of the center keel at the CG point of the hull (approx 33% location, from transom).
