All good info guys. I would love to have a io activator but this would save me 10,000 right up front.

Speeds on the YouTube video was 62 mph. The broker of the boat said that was with the trim tabs and engines all the way in... The guy driving is a sales guy so they were playing it safe since it was the first time driving it.

I had a red gel boat once and it looked great but took a ton of work to keep it that way.

Seems slow for twins, even if those are stock 200's, should be getting close to 70.

Judging by the overspray on the trailer I would say it is paint rather than gel.

You would be correct. Hull sides, transum and deck have been repainted red.

Anyone good at photo-chop. Add some back to this thing for idea?

The boat was real regular around Peoria a couple years back. I don't remember him having any problems with it. I was told back then that it ran in the 60s......dock talk.
I've got a couple pics from a couple years ago. PM me your email and I'll send them.

Were you a owner of the boat? Looks like Jersey Devil owned it around 2009.

Jersey Devil did own that boat if I remember correctly. You should be able to contact him here or Scream and Fly for info.

So Jersey Devil did own the boat. He got it from the orginal owner. Lightspeed rigged the boat. Boat has the same specs as the Ocean Outboard race team.

Speeds are between mid 60s and 80s depending on power and props.
