I was going to ask the same thing. I can remember seeing that for sale in the Boat Trader in Florida years ago, 1995 or so. Nice looking hull, kind of reminds me of an Active.

I think he accidently added an extra zero to the price of a completely stripped roached out 25 year old bare hull......

I remember the boat when it had Merlins in it and was new.

It was just another bad example of an engine builder not understanding that boost does not equate to flow and an a drive application where again prop dia does not compensate for lack of prop speed.

What else can I say a typical Merlin powered flop and that's being nice!
