Planning to race Street Stock next season and have my eye on a car for sale so I'm selling off the Rapid Craft and extra parts/engines I've accumulated over the years to pay for it. I'm still planning to race T-850 as well next season with new boat. Here's a list of what I'm selling.

Rapid Craft Cyclone - This is about as straight and solid as they get. Even the deck is cored. You could jump on the deck of this boat and not hurt it. Unrigged, it weighs in at just under 300lbs. Broke 71mph on the race course with this boat my first season with the first engine I built. Never had the gps running this season. Was moving pretty good in Ghurst though. Easy boat to drive. Has all the right stuff. Just needs to be tidied up and new paint job will go a long way. All the blue colour is original gelcoat. Will sell as it was raced or split it up. Also selling off extra parts I've been collecting over the years.

Video from Gravenhurst https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oyne4Pjebo

Boat only - $2000 unrigged no trailer. $2500 with trailer
- $3000 rigged with power trim (my bracketry and lightweight merc trim cylinder) my adjustable setback, wingplates, pulleys, gigtec steering, hotfoot, wiring, nice upholstered seat, Trailtech Voyager. Add $500 for trailer. - Sold

Parts:

56ci powerhead - $1200 Solid Mould Block, Std bore, ported within SST-60 specs, miss match cleaned up but ports not widened any more than that. Boysen reeds, SST-60 big bore style carbs, New power pack. Grinding marks do go into the port more than 10mm though (ridiculous rule) so it may not be T-850 legal. I used this powerhead in Gravenhurst.

56ci powerhead - $1200. Solid Mould Block, Ported to within SST-60 specs, T-850 legal, CCM reeds, new .040 over wisco pistons and fresh bore. Big bore carbs. Spent about 2hrs breaking it in then put 20 laps on it in Haliburton. Didn't run nearly as fast there as it could have. Still needs to be dialed in. This will be my choice motor for next year but if it sells, I'll build another.

56ci powerhead - $1200. Bone stock, Std bore. New pistons, big end bearings, welded decompression holes, big bore carbs, new power pack, new ccm reeds. 0 hours.

NOS nitro lower unit. -Sold

15" mid from 1976 75hp Johnson. Nice shape with pan and hood -Sold

12x23 Titus race prop. This has been my #1 prop until now. It's mint! I Bought this brand new 2 years ago for $900US. - Sold

All Canadian $

Ideal for someone wanting a maintenance free race boat. These hulls are much stronger and do not break. Very competitive, easier to drive compared to the other T hulls.

I was in to see Paul at Top Gun today about T boats. He suggested I talk to you about your Rapid Craft. Send me a note please [tom.schnull@glencore-ca.com] or give me a call at 416-272-8685.

Boat, trailer and the rigging are all gone. Looks like it will be racing next season. I also heard rumors of a second new racer joining us next season...

Both for T-850 by the looks of it. I can tell you that the orange Critch in my signature pic found a new home.
