1988 18' Talon Tunnel Hull

tony97gttony97gt Posts: 35 Greenhorn
It's a 1988 tunnel hull with a 2000 225 Mercury ProMax. Will sell with or without power. Motor has about 40 hours on it from rebuild by Shaun Torrente. It's a stock motor with shaved heads but still runs pump premium. Motor runs strong and pulls hard. Never had any issues with it! High performance 8.5 spark plug wires on it as well. Oil injection removed so it runs pre-mix. Cowling and skirt were freshly painted, and custom graphics were added to the cowling. Bass 225 ProMax midsection with drilled out exhaust. Sportmaster lower unit that has new impeller, gaskets, and new fluid in it (small shaft). Sporty has been pressure tested by Dominic SanMarco and it's got good pressure. He also welded a torque tab on it. Boat comes turn-key with a 28p 4 blade ET prop (flo-torq hub). Engine has 140/145 PSI on all 6.

As for the rest, I just put it on a very nice 2007 Continental aluminum trailer. Trailer has brand new tires, brand new bearings, new rims, new LED lights, brand new bunks, brand new carpet, new leaf springs, and is setup for brakes but I don't feel the need for them. Trailer also has small pvc/aluminum guides. Boat now has brand new interior with pressure treated plywood, new foam (bagged), new hardware, and new vinyl. Has Livorsi carbon fiber faced Monster Gps Speedo with high speed recall, monster tach, monster gauges-trim, volts, water press, water temp, fuel press, fuel level. Gauges were purchased and installed this year (not cheap!) Has a brand new humminbird depth sounder with transducer mounted inside the bilge. Brand new Livorsi LED nav lights. Custom orange powdercoat shifter. Interior is orange and grey with some carbon fiber dash panels. Brand new black Snap-in carpet. Has a clarion CMS1 stereo with an mw1 LCD remote by the waterline and 4 panasonic marine 6.5" speakers with custom painted grills. I only installed the two rear speakers so the new owner can choose how/where to mount the others. Didn't want to cut a bunch of holes in the new interior. 3 bilge pumps, (2) 450gph on the sides and (1) 500gph in the center. Original gelcoat that was just compounded, polished, and waxed last week. Ski pole comes with it, but I didn't reinstall it with the new interior in case the new owner doesn't want it installed, but the bracket is still in place in the bilge. Dual batteries that are only a few months old, with dual Perko switch. Full custom cover included and engine cover. Hydraulic jack plate with jack/trim turn signal switches on the steering wheel. HotFoot pedal. Blue sea systems Battery isolator (charges both batteries when running but prevents both batteries from discharging), bue sea systems fuse block. 4 Attwood neat cleats all around. Boat is also pre-wired to expand the stereo system as I had several subwofers and an amplifier in it. I could sit at the sandbar all day long cranking the music and the boat would fire right up.

I just painted the bilge and tightened up all the wiring in there. I also replaced the fuel lines (3/8 all the way), primer bulb, water/fuel separating filter, inline filter, and removed/cleaned/painted the fuel filter bracket. Floor and transom are solid and this boat flies straight. I've had it up to 92mph with a 4 blade ET running by myself. . With setup time this is a 100mph boat.

ASKING $12,500 OBO WITH POWER, $4,500 MINUS POWER. IF THE AD IS UP, THE BOAT IS STILL AVAILABLE. Boat is titled and registered in FLA.
