Default Carrera speed boats - anyone familiar?

I'll also post this in the Carrera section...but I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with these boats, or (by random chance) happens to know THIS boat specifically.

http://houston.craigslist.org/boa/907534426.html

I'm looking at this 29' with twin 454's. Owner says it needs 1 gimbal boot replaced (probably the bearing/joint replaced as well).

Don't know this particular boat. But Carrera's are battle tanks. Takes power to move them but they are awesome. Talk to "Bearpaw" here on OSO he has one. Sweet deal if the hul check's out. Good Luck.

Great boat my friend owned it for years in the 90's ran70w 400 hp motors. Then a guy in fox lake il. did a rerig with 502's and the new paint. Handled lake michigan awesome and has a huge cabin. It's a deal if it's still in good shape. The rubber coupler? I think the boat has merc trans and trs drives?
