American Muscle?
 
Whats the story on this boat? I did a search on here and some say it had engine problems in like 05, then was going to italy..now i see its for sale at pier 57...the girlfriend and I agree (VERY rare) its a sweet looking ride. Think its worth what they are asking?

Isn't that the one that John Elway used to own?

Man, its got 1075s it has engine problems that don't end! Well after the first 100-200 hrs that is! Awesome power but very high maintenance! 50K refresh every 200 hrs! thats x 2 of course!!

Is it worth 299 YES! The 1075s are 100k each!

If I had that kind of maintenance $$ I would buy it!

I dont understand why people would pay that money to run a pair of 1075's when there are well known engine builders out there that are getting over 1200hp with a refresh every 200hrs at less than $20K a piece.....Who cares if it says Mercury on it. I would much rather have my builders cell phone number in my pocket, and when there is a problem on a sunday afternoon, you are treated like you are their only customer. I just cant see that happening with mercury.:party-smiley-004:

The one John Elway used to own is at Doller Offshore. Mindi showed it to me Thanksgiving weekend.

I've wondered this a lot myself, but I haven't spent much time worrying about it since I will probably never play in that league....
