Nice boat! I doubt it runs in the mid 90's with 650hp engines. Maybe upper 80's. Sounds like when I bought my Cigarette. Owner said he went 83mph. I can't get the boat past 72mph. LIED!!!!!

The "out of control" T/S gun runs over 105 w/Zul tunnel rammed 750's. Granted the X is high on Kevins boat but low to mid 90's wouldn't be un-heard of I wouldn't think. Light on fuel and two on board. A T/S stock 525 boat is going to run mid to high 80's correct?

Of course, Rob "Rice Hauler" would be able to tell you exactly what his old boat ran.:drink:

my 575 Top Gun will run 90, I would think it would run in the mid 90's

I was on the boat a month ago and can attest that we hit 7 MPH on the Intracoastal with no problem, full fuel and 3 people... other than that I can't say for sure :evilb:

I think its an awesome boat, however It needs a paint job to get away from the stigma of its past.

The boat has been forsale on here and other sites for a while. I called on it before I got the Tiger. The boat has a unique history and all but my concern was it was rumored at one point that it had been stripped and then put back together, let's face it if that was true you have no idea who put it back together. Seems like a good deal if everything checks out. I believe the boat is being stored in Sarasota.

Yea, I think its history is keeping someone from snatching it up. Not a bad price for the package but....Ever heard the term, "Drive it like you stole it...?":eek::eek: :drink:
