I can't get the link to open but I assume its the boat pictured bellow. What do you need to know? I know the boat extremely well over the last three owners. It's a MONSTER!!! And is in awesome condition.
Let me know if I can help you out, my buddy is brokering it.

Brand new the boat ran 98mph at Lake X with 20 gallons of fuel a side and two people. I have never heard of it running that fast since it was new.

True, but it doesn't have the stock Merc 900's in it anymore. Completely new motors, blocks up. Only thing original are the blowers. Like I said, propped right it'll run just over 100 no problem. And it runs like a champ!

Drives
After a recomendation by Bob, I had Teague swap the drives (right to left, left to right) to change the rotation of the props so that the bow wouldn't carry so high. These boats like to fly a little in the bow and in the water that we run in here in the Pacific, you don't need anymore help getting airborne. So if you swap the drives back and reprop it for the 1000's, there's no reason why it won't go over 100mph. Those props are for the 900's, it's under proped. I did 94mph, on GPS in Long Beach, low on fuel with myself and tow other full size guys and I was hitting the rev. limiter.
