The boat should run 84 plus! I have had more then 50 29 Fevers and the slowest was 70 with a 496. Most of the 29's would hit 79-80 light load. I had a 600SCI run 86MPH. The boat is worth the money! Sell the Ilmor or add weight to the back and set it up. 29's are hard to come by!

You should have bought it! I would have paid $45k for it if it was close to me. 29 fevers are hard to come by and a new one would be over $180k The motor alone is still worth $20k. A clean one with a 525EFI will bring $60-80k and a 496ho is 45-55k. It should run 80++. If it doesn't it needs some more set-up.

I saw that on a post. I guess Randy never bought it? LOL These are the pictures I took of the boat. It's heading to SoCal on the next clear day. https://www.flickr.com/photos/142787...57673599493756 Joe 253-606-2816

If I had the chance I would have jumped all over it for 45. But as I stated it was sold to boat dealer that has it now. As for 29' fever being hard to come by? There are about 15 of them for sale at the moment. I don't think the 29' is hard find. Perhaps the 27'. As for what you stated price wise your dead on! Not sure why you have it out for me at moment in this thread. We were simple talking about the boat for sale and set up. This boat was offered for sale last spring for cheap and now a dealer has it , and trying to squeeze every dollar out of it with no history of build
