Default 27 profile

I am familiar with profiles, but not sure of their ride, etc. I am assuming they are a quality boat. Have been looking at 24 panteras, and have recently decided to look at 27 fountains, 25 sunsations, etc. There is a 1996 27 profile in my area, and am wondering if I should take a look. It is a 75+ MPH boat. Has a 454 with a 250 blower on it.

Other question is whether I am looking for trouble with a blower. Would just like to have an HP 500. Any issues with a blower moter. How is gas usage with a blower motor? From pics, boat looks clean. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. They are asking $40,000.00.

My friend has a '94 29 Profile. It's a BIG 29, it rides pretty good. He has approx. 800 HP and it runs in the low 80's. The quality is mediocre at best.

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLL.............no. I had some Dart Big M heads a few years ago with wedges and a blower. When I switched from blower to the tunnel ram I changed the heads to pro one's

If that's the one in Cornelius (sp), it seems like it has been for sale for a while...
