My oldest son and I flew to Vegas this past weekend to take a 3100 for a sea trial (Lake Havasu). The boat is a 1996 with a wrap. The price is competitive and it is fast. We got her up to 130mph in water that was like glass. I think the powertrain is good it just needs a lot of cosmetic work. What do you guys think? The owner seems like a solid guy.

I have a 2002 Powerquest 340 Vyper with Tall Deck 588s. It will do mid to high 90s. That’s plenty fast enough for me and it has a lot of room. It’s also been a reliable boat for two seasons.

when ready to fly to see a boat, I would be pretty dead set on having it, unless a good disappointment happens...

The boat is cool but needs work

. I owned an American Offshore 2600 with 850HP a while back and just remembered how much money it costs to maintain. I'll have three kids in college soon and can't piss money into the wind anytime soon.
