YES,there is that!! lol The blue motor is such a complete package though,you don't have to really buy anything. Personally,I have this "need for speed" so I sold mine and built my 548. I'm very happy with it I just want a bigger boat with twins so I bought the Cig.

I had mine inspected last year and it appraised at $65K. The economy sucks so I listed mine at $59500. This was PQ demo boat in '02 so it does have all the options though.This thing rocks but I just wanted to give a bigger boat with twins a chance.Bought a '87 Kevlar Top Gun with 598s na.Sweet.Tranmissions rock!

Your making me jealous!!
So you were able to move the 280 or are you a 2 boat owner??
I am leaning towards the 340 Vyper. Hopefully that won't be a dissapointment.

I went from a 280 to a 340; I wouldn't recommend it. The 340 does not ride very good. In fact, I think the 280 handled rough water better. The 340 was (like all PQ's) well built and comfortable, but unless you live on a river or similar smooth water, I would keep your options open.

Just FYI.

Holly crap, who would of thought that possible, how would the 280 outhandle the 340??
What would be equivalent to the Vyper?
PS: I want a windshield boat.

I would have to disagree. I boat regularly at LOTO and my 340 handles that nasty water pretty well. I will agree that it may not be the BEST riding boat in its class but my 280 definitely did not do as well as my 340. This is just my opinion but I too have owned and driven both so I feel I can give an honest opinion as well. Good luck with whatever you decide.
