The have dropped the price to 90K, If I could get decent money out of my "little" boat I would be all over it, 80MPH is plenty fast enough for the group I boat with, and I am sure it would take just about any water the lake would throw at it [within reason] and I like the fact it has A/C if I did decide to overnight in it. Sure is a pretty boat!

Thanks for the input on speed, 80MPH is pretty impressive for a boat that size.

That is one of my favorite boats. I would be willing to trade my Cafe with fresh motors for this boat and $20,000 cash. Since a brokerage has it, I doubt that would fly.

Thanks guys!

A 525SC straight gun will run high 60's. 650's runs 75ish 750's will run low 80's. A twin step with 750's will run right up to (and over) 100 (out of control TS on lip ships site for sale right now).

Ride between a flat bottom cig and a stepped cig? I really like the way TS cigs ride in the rough, they seem to cushion a little more on landings compared to the pure crushing power of a heavy straight bottom.

That orange gun has been for sale for 3+ years. It's insanely awesome but it was also priced way to high for the market (IMHO). There was a guy looking at my gun and couldn't decide between mine and that orange one (even though i straight up told him id buy the orange obe if it was my choice!) but the owner wouldn't go below 165 because he owed too much on it. At 90k, that's a good buy on that rig. A lot of boat for the money. Of course then you get into the whole arguement of the fact it's still a 20 year old boat that no bank will finance so the buyer will have to pay cash and if someone has that much cash it's not a stretch to to think they'll have a bit more to buy a 525 TS gun that will be faster, newer and a bank will finance. But for straight cool factor the orange boat has the edge!!

It's a neat boat, all the 90 MPH are, 1 of 5 and only one with #6's. If you don't like the price go buy a bravo boat.

There's plenty of #6 boats out there for under $100k, so no reason to buy a bravo boat, just plenty of reason to not buy this one....
