Old Performance Group(Dealer) out of Texas. RUn HARD at several Poker Runs when new.

Sold to a Japanese guy. Brought back here to be sold. Was at Hideaway until the SHTF.

Funny story, the Japanese guy bought it sight-unseen. Boat ships all the way to Japan. He opens the container and goes ballistic cause all the old decals and graphics from the defunct dealer are gone. They had to re-create them form pics to make him happy.

All of that, and:

He wouldn't take offers for awhile. Now, it's looking like they're wanting to take selling the boat more seriously. It is a badASS boat, and their initial price looks like they would entertain reasonable offers. It's a killer boat & setup.

For the price they are around, it would be a hell of a fun machine to have.

Looks like a fun boat.
Hard enough to sell a boat like mine, let alone this style. Very very small market. I'd look at some of the 47 GTX outerlimits if you want to sit down. They are a similar price. Also look for the pulley that goes flat on top, will tell you that it has the new pulley system along with other upgrades blower pack etc...

The Performance Group 45 is a sweet looking ride. I'd take a look at Toms before buying though. Priced at a lot less, has a trailer and Zuls.

The real price is very interesting. I have ridden the 47 gtx and they dance side to side like there is no tomorrow. Flat bottom. Pulleys are being replace as part of the deal. I see that you have done rebuilds. How long was it before you did top ends ? Or did you just do complete rebuilds when top ends were up ?

Have check it out . The boat is very nice but old race boat and current owner has run it hard. Needs fuels tanks replaced. Engines are carb race engine that run 110 octane. I currently have set up similar to engines in this boat and it is always something. Also Randy can work with a trade while Phil can only work with cigs.

I don't think I'd change a thing on it, other than minor details like pulleys & maybe removing SOME, but defintiely not all, of the decals. The Mercury one's for example, wouldn't be going anywhere. Boat is definitely sharp!
