Default 100+ mph boat????

If your next boat was going to be a 100+ mph boat and have a useable cabin that will be used regularly what would you buy. To make this a little tougher lets say the budget is under 150K.

Thinking of trading in the outerlimits already? I was just thinking to myself that your boat with that power must really fly. Did you ever have it opened up before lake st clair run?

But that would put you over the 150 k budget. Plus they would prob have bravos too.

No way am I selling the OL!!!!!!! I have a friend interested.

T/S Gun. Sell the Bravo/ITS setup and install Arnesons. Put Whipples on the 525's or 500 EFI's. Should come in right around 150K after you sell the Bravo/ITS and EFI setups on ebay.


And you would have a killer 110+ mph Gun that is pretty much unbreakable !!!!

It's what I am going to do for my next ride.
