- This online brochure is printer friendly
This 24' Superboat is owned by Gene Barabash, aka "Superbash" of Amity Harbor, N.Y.
At 78.4 MPH (GPS). Bash's Superboat holds the fastest documented speed of any single engine 24' Superboat. It's powered by a 300X Mercury outboard, turning a 24" Chopper II prop. Bash also had Superboat fabricate a custom enclosure for a gas pedal, ensuring two hands on the wheel while riding in the ruff stuff. It also comes in handy when shooting videos. This is'nt Bash's first Superboat, which explains the way he drives. You can always find him cruising the Great South Bay. Even in the winter! This guy really loves his Superboat.

ALWAYS IN STYLE... "Call John Coen a traditionalist.
The 53-year old owner of Superboats Inc. in Lindenhurst, NY likes the angular,
high-sided look of his 24-footer and doesn't sound as if he's going to
change....But Coen has been smart enough to keep up with current technology and
construction techniques....It was the right mix of nostalgic appeal and modern
technology....One reason the boat handled the chop so well was its
straightforward 24-degree deep-V bottom design....In addition to its superior
ride in bay chop, the Superboat 24 retains its popularity because of its
freeboard. Translated, the boat is tall for its length. "We're really the
only boat in any kind of production that is a stand-up boat that goes more than
60mph with a single outboard." - Powerboat Magazine,
December 1997.
STEPPING SUPER CAREFULLY.... "Regarding your column,
"Step Carefully" in the January issue, I could not agree more. It is
the goal of most boat builders to offer boats to the public with the latest
technology in response to consumer demand. However, it is the manufacturer's
responsibility to make sure these new boats are indeed safe. As you mentioned,
that unfortunately is not the case because the research and development of the
hydrodynamics of these new designs take time, testing and money. We hope that
anyone purchasing a stepped boat reads you column twice. John Coen, President
Superboats, Lindenhurst, NY" - Powerboat Magazine, March
1998.

We are NOT a mass production builder.
All of our boats are made by hand and no two are alike. If there is anything you
don't see and wish to have done, we will custom build any boat to order. We
only ask two questions: What size boat are you interested in, and how fast
do you want to go....... Please

"Randy
Taylor, New York, NY - Taylor's 1998 Superboat is rigged with a 300-hp Mercury
outboard and a 26-inch prop. According to its owner, the boat reaches a
top speed of 73 mph. "I keep the boat in New York in the summer and
in Miami during the winter," hey says, "but wherever I go, this boat
turns heads. It easily takes on boats five feet longer in four- to
five-foot seas. The rough water handling and speeds of this hull are truly
amazing." The boat is also equipped with a full cabin and port-potty
for overnighting." - HOT BOAT MAGAZINE,
November/December 2000.
"Now this boat has (the
right) attitude" - Randy Taylor
"Dear
John and Company: My 1998 24' is awesome. I hit 73 mph with a 300 Merc and a
26" prop. This boat takes on boats 5' longer in 4-5' seas. Thanks, Randy
Taylor" |

A testament to this fact and the structural integrity of a
Superboat was accomplished at the 1994 world championships in Key West.
"The Factory-class offshore race was decided between two teams from
Freeport who jockeyed for the lead from start to finish. Ultimately, Bill
Skudder's HYPERACTIVE took home the title, but not without a fight from their
hometown rivals LAY IT OUT, a 24-foot Superboat which placed second. "This
was our first year racing. We bought a 10-year old pleasure boat for $4,000 and
placed second in the world," stated Rick Roberts, owner and driver.
"It (the boat) handled and withstood some of the roughest offshore
conditions I have ever seen, and the boat held together with not a single stress
crack for wear." - The Racer's Edge, January 1995. |
