Default Info on 38 top gun in wi

https://www.popyachts.com/high-perfo...illinois-61777

I’m trying to find out some info on this boat. I keep getting conflicting stories from the brokerage anyone know anything about this boat.

Im down in Florida and don’t want to send a surveyor over there to find out it’s loaded with problems.

"Ruckus" - Used to be a bad azz boat. Owned by Jeff Cheng (founder of OSO). He converted it to a #6 boat but the X is low on it so the drives aren't quite on the surface. He sold it to Anna (OSO Blondcigchic) in early 2000 boat was sold went to Chicago and really wasn't head much of since then. It looks ROUGH in the photos. Cool boat though.

You can see the "issue" with the X off in this video. Not a huge deal just something to be cognizant of.

Better days:

I was told all the work was done in 2015. And I see that the gimbals have plates welded on the swivel pin area Ect.

I'm sure they're referring to the part where they say Mel Riggs when through the Pfaff motors. Not the #6 refit which I'm sure the sales people don't even have a clue about. I can tell you the boat has had plenty more owners than 2! LOL. Cheng was (at least) the second owner from new, then Anna, then she sold to at least one other. Boats gonna need much TLC. Not trying to poo poo anyone's sale. Just the facts.

Both of those look to be well equipped boats!!

While not a #6 or Arneson boat, I've got a clean 95 with turnkey 525EFIs/XRs available for around the same figure. Not currently listed. (& NOT on PopYachts! )

May or may not be an apples to apples for what you're looking for but wanted to throw it out there. PM me your number if you want to chat about it. It will be at Tickfaw weekend after next.
