Gets on plane fast, will go slow enough for water sports or not to mess up mamma's hair, cruises at 60, runs right at 90 before the lower unit just runs out of efficiently. Also it should have an external steering cylinder to run any faster. Engine is a 525sc that was swapped in 3 years ago. It had 150 hours at the time of the install. It has about 30 in this boat now so 180 total. It has run flawless every time out.

I bought this boat and committed to a new Allison xr2002 at the same time if they were going to build one. Well it looks like they are and it will be here soon, so I need to make room. I really like this boat.

$19,500 ....... Call me to discuss. Tim 919-889-2201

With the motor you have in this boat it would be a huge hit out West. The Havasu boys love those big car motors. Hopefully you have a deal brewing for Frank to tow it West.

If not, you could always sell the Mercury Racing 525 SC and drive, close up the transom, and hang a 300XS on the back with a Porta Bracket. You'd probably get $15,000 for the drive and motor, those things were extremely expensive. A Black wacker on the backer would be interesting!

Or a 400r !! But if money was no object and I was going outboard it would have to be a 7 marine..now that would be something.

I got to tell you though, it is about perfect with the 525sc...Pleasure to value ratio is about perfect.

Yep there may be a chance this will end up out west

Ok guys, you have another chance. Buyer had to back out due to funding not available at this time.

To the 2 interested people that called me a few weeks ago, I did not save your number...Sorry!
