Wow, I saw this thread and I have to comment. You don't have to be rich to buy one at all! Seriously, mine's for sale right now in Austin, TX and I just ran it flat out today to be sure everything is as it should be and it is

right on. Now it was outright intoxicating to run it in 4-6 footers in the Pacific but even after a lake ride like today I always question whether I should sell it to make room for a "family friendly" boat or just park it on the trailer because I have only one slip, but owning two boats is another matter too.
It's already painted like Black Tornado, some vinyl graphics could complete the look. I have probably dropped the price too far because it seems most people would rather use the money as a down payment on a more expensive boat, but for now it's listed for a song, right here on OSO:
