1976 Rogers 18' bubble deck bonneville

« **on:** March 19, 2013, 02:34:00 PM »

Reluctantly, I am forced to sell my project. It is completely stripped and ready for gel or paint. I bought it with the intention of competing in comp jet but, I am poor and probably will never be able to compete regularly. Solid stringers. No Rot anywhere. Tandem trailer w/brakes. Have some extra parts, wiring, mounts etc. for the right offer. This is a bonneville, not a cyclone.

If O bent you over, you know you're making too much money.

Not sure at all. I thought the bonneville had the chines in the rear.

Cyclone is the flat deck, bonneville is the bubble deck, and the TR has the dropped chines

Yep
18' Cyclone (flat deck)had a deep entry bow which had a tendency to bite and spin.
18' Super Cyclone (flat deck)had a shallow entry and a better bottom.
18' Bonneville (bubble deck) on the same bottom. Bubble deck took 6" out of the seating area so the
19' Bonneville TR (bubble deck)came out. New bottom, strakes and drop chines, as Nick stated.
20' Bonneville Classic had a simular bottom to the TR with bigger strakes.
21 VIP Spectra bottom w/ a steeper step in the deck
That's the line up as I recall.
Sorry got a little carried away

It has a throttle cable and pedal. No jet, wheel, or gauges. Misc Pieces, impeller etc. pretty much what you see here. No headers
