Thanks

Well,we worked on one and it ran low 70's. Then we put a 900 in it and it ran 100. Scary at those speeds and i NEVER get scared going fast.

Magic, are you getting out of that nortic already? I have an older 28 that will do mid 60"s loaded. I could prop it different, but its fast enough.

Just sold it yesterday. Shopping around to see whats available. I want to go fast. Why are you and Sean selling your boats??

Re: ZT 280 speeds
 

Sean isnt, but mine is in the classifieds on this site. I am going to put it in boattrader.com this week for a month. I just had a baby girl over the winter which makes 4 kids, and the cruiser is more practical for a few years.

Nikki is pregnant as well. My baby boy is due the middle of March. I thought that I saw Sean's boat for sale in the RV trader last fall.

Re: ZT 280 speeds
 

He did have his boat listed, but since changed his mind. Becareful with the boat that you choose to buy. I bought my check when my boy was 1. I took it very easy with him on board, but he didnt like the noise. With the new one, I dont have the room nor the want to take the whole family for a ride at 3200 rpm. My values changed with the new baby. I have a 25 cruiser that fits everyone perfect and I am still on the water. I will probably chang my mind once the check sells, but who knows. Good luck on your new purchase and I will see you on the water this summer.

My old man has a 36 foot cabin cruiser and I also have a pontoon. This will probably be our only kid. I am definately not ready to give up the performance boating yet, if my son doesn't like it he will spending alot of time on grandpa's boat. :evilb:
