Default 85 MPH Prowler on e-bay......

only $30K. From what I've read about these boats, he's within 20 MPH's of telling the truth on speed
Always liked that model though and it looks nice but clearly buyer beware.

From first hand experience I bet the boat doesn't do 65 mph!

Dittos on smoking some good sh*t. I just upgarded my Prowler 502 and can just get to 65 MPH GPS. I think a blow'n 525 can only get to somewhere between 72 to 78 MPH.

The only way that thing could even hit 80 with that set up is if he has done some really good bottom work and move that drive up 6" or 7". and im sure thats not the case lol!

Isn't that about $15K less than they go for too? Probably another car lot trying to flip something they have no clue about or a hurricane boat.

Someone should offer to write him a check if it shows 85 on a GPS, that we'll provide
