There used to be a price on the listing.. Looks like he removed it.

The number that was posted was pretty good...

SAME price, 325,000 with keys, just push to start and make sure your seat belts are snug.

Even has A/C for those hot summer runs. Your g/f or wife will start using your canopy for a crisper instead of the sub zero.

I have heard talk about removing the canopy, to sell. With speeds getting to where they are, its smart to run a lid. If those that want it decide to have it removed, so be it and increase the value. For now we will sell with the canopy at a great price.

Even if the power was reduced to have the boat run, say, 150 or so, I wouldn't want to go that fast in an open cockpit boat. Lick This is still a canopy boat...

Is that the same canopy design that was on the Big Thunder boat.

The motors have been turned down...way down to around 155-60 mph. Zul is the engine builder. I am not familiar with what or how the big thunder canopy was constructed therefore I can not answer your question. I can tell you that the canopy on this 46 has a built in roll cage, and is throughly reinforced. If you have serious interest I would encourage a survey and full inspection one that includes a first hand look of the canopy...

In addition, I would also encourage you to investigate further the damage to Big Thunder and the reasons for any failure of any aspect to their accident. I am sorry to read and learn of their loss. I am sure the Big Thunder boat was rigged well, however Toms 46 doesn't have 4 motors, and the CG (center gravity) is much different. The 46 currently for sale is VERY different then Big Thunder...

Hope this serves as some answers to your questions. Thank you for the e mail reply's

This is by far the least expensive running skater on the market. $325,000 fresh power with 0 run time.

emails and additional photos sent. keep in mind these engines are now turned down, are reliable and idle with no surge. they can be turned up to 2200 a side with close to 2100 tq numbers a side, and still idle with no surge. That is because of the time the builders have put into these mills, the injection and the meth. These engines are far superior to any other engines out on the market. This boat is downright mean!
