I tried to buy that boat in 1994 from charlene, that is like the first 43 out of the mold and at the time was a used boat. they were asking 96,000 for it i offered Charlene 89,000, she put my hands in her's and told me that the good lord had told her she was going to get 96,000 for the boat, i dropped my hands to my side for a few moment and then reached out and took Charlenes hands in mine and asked her if the good lord told her who it was, because it wasnt me . the boat was originally named Chopper. that boat sat at Raymond untill the early 2000's like 2001 0r 2002 and finally sold in the low to mid 80's. They also had a 43 scarab painted in tiger strips with triple 454- 450's that was a brand new boat in 95 and did not sell untill 2002 or 03. Ive bought 2 brand new boats from Charlene and have had a wonderfull experience each time. But they like to hold on to those boats. i'd be very surprised if that boat runs 80, few years ago after it finally sold and the blowers were installed i had a friendly lake competion with it out in the main channel and could pretty well walk away from it at anytime and i run right at 80. when i test drove the boat in 94 it had 502/390hp and it was a low 60mph boat. when your behind the wheel of those 43 flat decks it looks like an aircraft carrier 's deck huge.
later
