344 Cheetah Finishin' It

My wife and I just bought this boat from Aqua-Mania in Alexandria Bay, NY. Just wondering if anybody knows anything about this boat's history. I found a thread from somebody talking about this boat and a Donzi at a poker run and they mentioned that one of them was "hit hard/hit something hard on the left side with about 3' of patch work". I haven't been able to find any "patch jobs" on this boat so I'm thinking that they may have been talking about the Donzi.

Sorry that it took so long to get back. I work 2 jobs and it's hard to get online sometimes. I have pics on my other computer and I'll post them by this weekend.

Thumbs up

Nice boat, I remember looking at it when it was for sale.
What power do you have in it, hp500's? And what speeds are you seeing?

Yeah it has 500 EFI's with Bravo XR drives. Rick at Aqua Mania took us for a test ride and we ran 90 mph with the stock 32p Bravo props. The conditions were pretty rough that day. He said that he has seen 93 mph in this boat with the same props but maybe the conditions that day kept us from seeing that. Either way I was pretty impressed seeing 90 with stock power. I have a friend that just bought the AT "Remedy" and he saw 91 his first time out. His also having stock 525's and stock props. Just a testament to the efficiency of the hull's that are being produced nowadays.

Love that AT "remedy" was hoping the Concept was going to be gone, had someone flying in to look at it, but has not made it down to yet.

Someone help, I have pictures but can't figure out how to post them. When I click on "insert image" a box comes up requesting a "URL" of image. What is it and how do I post my pic's.
