Original owner was unhappy you needed a crew to launch/use boat and damn near an 18 wheeler to move it around! Fastboats bought it back/took it back on trade and when his floorplan went up in smoke the bank shuffled it around to get it sold. It had been for sale at Legendary Marine out of Destin, FL for months before Shogren got it/repainted it.

"Original Owner" didnt realize BEFORE dropping 1.5 Million on a 50ft boat, powered by a pair of helicopter turbines that it would need a few people to help with it and/or a truck and trailer to haul it around? LOL!!

Rob is a very close friend, he loves the sport and loves building new and different packages. He was well aware ofwhat he was doing and all will soon see when the new project is done too. Turbines just weren't his thing..........

He could have switched to pistons. Any reason why he didn't?

That's a good question... If he's such a good friend what's the real reason he bailed from the boat???

Well if I had the money I would buy it. I love the colors and the design, and the seats can be recovered. The big change I would make is switching to shaft drives.

How come Cigs never have turbines?? You would think that guys with that kind of money would know how much better than pistons turbines are...
