eehhh depends on your definition of ok I definitely wouldn't try to pull a skier with it lol but it wasn't horrible. I would say not quite twice as long to on plane maybe half again longer than usual. but it would run damn good. I think we actually saw over 70 one time but I wasn't present for that so I don't believe it till I see it. but it was a sold and stable old boat. might try to track one down after I get most my fountain paid for lol.

I paid $12,000 for 1990 F206LS with 175 hours on it. One owner, stored in heated and air conditioned basement its entire life.

Boat looked liked it was just from the showroom. Had new batteries, custom covers, trailer, etc.

To some that price is high, but we were on lake all summer, I didn't have to spend 3 seasons repairing rotted wood and rebuilding engines.

they can be had, depends on how many and whats available, options come into play perhaps more then anything, my 303 is ultra rare with 502's and 1/1 with my paint scheme, there were other cheaper, and even a cpl 312's in my range, but i had to have it,

TaDa!

This was when we just got it home, don't think we even washed it yet. It came with a full cover that went from the bow eye to the outdrive, and chine to chine, super heavy, the cover weighs about 50 pounds. pics aren't the greatest, took them with a galaxy tab.

The interior vinyl is original and still tight, no mods ever to the boat, not even a compass, as fresh and clean as day one!

The PO did upgrade the cockpit fire extinguisher to a rechargeable one and I had to do a some delayed maintenance items like a fuel pump, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, impeller, and bellows. Nothing major and I do all my own work so it wasn't too expensive.

There was an exhaust leak between the platform and transom but when I pulled the platform all the gaskets were still good. Found that the interior seam wasn't sealed and the exhaust was coming out from the back of the swim platform so I smeared about 5 tubes of 3M 5200 in there, seems to have done the trick as the back stayed clean all summer. Was only leaking on the starboard side.
