How many "BEAST" boats still running?

How many have an original Supra Beast? When these were new I remember several being sold on our lake but now only one still around, ours. Does anyone still have an original Beast? Allan

I will get some pics soon, Envision a Sunsport, closed bow, alot of teak trim, Big Block engine, On the side graphics large letters BEAST I replaced the standard 454 with a 496 HO 425 hp MPI I added 4 additional super trapp plates for each assy, slightly better air, water flow. I also added what I call the "beaver light" just above the polished ride plate, 55w Halogen light send a glow about 15 feet in the water by platform at night. Allan

Sounds really cool. What year was the boat? In 1986, a closed-bow Sunsport was called a Marauder. And as always, gotta have pics!:cool:

I remember seeing one for sale just outside of Pittsburgh a few years ago. Not sure whatever happened to it. Not sure if the color on the boat was original but it was a baby blue color both top and bottom. It looked pretty cool. Only time I have ever seen one.

my saltare is registered as a beast, error by the state. i never bothered to get it fixed.
