Obviously, I'm flexible with pricing if there are any serious offers. Since it's paid off, I'm not in a great hurry. Besides, this isn't the greatest time of year to sell anyway...

I guess my point is that if you want to sell it, DON"T go drive it! If you do take it out, you will probably not want to sell it! Good luck with whatever you figure out.

Were you staying at Kapilana last weekend. We were there and I can't believe how well that boat handled the LOTO water! Awesome boat! Sorry for thread hijack

That was us indeed! Between just goofing off, running in the poker run, goofing off some more, and then running up to and in the Shootout, we put about 250 miles on that little boat in 3 days, with much of it in the air (I wish that I had some pictures)! It is amazing how this Mannerfelt designed boat handled the rough stuff. It is like a sports car. It is my understanding that the 28 like what CSpray has is just as fun (or more), yet allows for more passengers. Might have to move to one someday.

The Lucas Oil 43 that was at Captain Rons is also a Mannerfelt designed boat that was constructed at Mystic for Nigel Hook and Silverstein. Nigel began his racing in a BatBoat in the 90's and had this built after racing several other hulls.

My bet is the first to test drive CSprays boat will buy it.

Hate to say I just threw out a ton of old magazine articles on this boat. A bunch of stuff in normal boating magazines to a powerboat mag from probably 1997-8.

Going to make this happen. Great boat, build, history.
Have been following this boat for the last 15-20 years since first seen at NY boat show in the mid 90s.
Don't throw out any articles, I'll take them all.
