30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 
I have a good friend that is buying a 30ft Vice from LipShip. It is a twin 525 boat.

Sell is contingent on his test drive, probably this Sat.

Can you experts on Cigs give any pointers, or things he needs to look for, or questions to ask.

Please no comments on buy a used 38 TG... for same price.

Do to room for backing up, covered garage... a 30 is what would be most practical.

Thanks Jan

Never been in one Jan, but I can tell you that I would rather buy 3 older 31' Bullets that one new 30' Vice!!

No questions or things to look out for that I know of. If Phil built it he will give you the low down on everything good or bad. He has always been very honest with me about any boats he has even if it's not all positive.

Is it new or used?

New boat, 525's with ITS. Boat has an unbelivable paint job. Phil told my buddy last weekend boat was running 92mph.

should be a monster with 525s! drove one with 496s in April and we hit 80 way under propped and should have run about 84. You might squeeze a few more mph out of the 525 version....
I liked the boat alot....very quick...

If you are buying new, and from Phil, the only thing you need to look for is your checkbook. Nice boat from the right dealer.Buy it and enjoy it.

If he buys the boat he should spend a weekend in Miami running the boat to make sure it does not have any issues that would cause it to go back to the factory for warranty work. I would hate for the boat to come all the way to SC and find out later he has to take it back. My Playboy had to go back and get some tweaks. Besides he could have a great weekend in the South Florida enjoying his boat. Vice has a small cockpit and is tall dollars for a 30 footer! With 525's hope your friend has some experience under his belt. Who is the lucky guy?
