My boat was built for and ran as a F-2 race boat. It was originally owned by two brothers that play in the NHL and ran the boat as Lets Play Racing. I bought the boat from Ken Collier who also races and has a few World Championships under his belt. Ken also owns Elton Porter Ins Co.

This boat has really been dialed in and will hit over 90 mph with sealed stock 500 efi's and yet is very user friendly. I bought it with 38 hours on the engines !!

The Hatchers raced the formula at the 2004 worlds in Key West.

You Cig guys crack me up, resale, resale, resale. I see 05 Guns for sale that were 400k new, with almost no hours, NOT selling in the high 200's, I guess that must be good resale.

Lets face it, none of these boats have good resale.

No, chit resale is buying a Fountain 42 for $325k in August and having Pier57 selling 2 brand new identical boats for $217k...... now that hurts. Cigs do well on resale. Sales numbers for November, December are hardly indicative of their market value.

Well...you'd have to be an idiot to pay 325k for a Fountain, but, thats not that much worse...
