damn 😳 wish I'd bought it now 😄
If it'd had 600SCI or 700SCI engines, I'd of brought it home but the big Sterlings that'd been sitting a long time scared me off. Wife wasn't enthused about the lack of sunpad but she'd gotten over it lol

It was purplish/blue colored with hatch scoops. Think the owner wanted around $125k-ish back then and it had a Greek name if I remember right. Might be worth a call to see if it's still sitting in the warehouse.

i don’t think that boat was ever $125k. I think it was $140k. I know it sold beginning of 2018 for $150k though. So did HFT at the same time and HFT sold for way more recently last month.

The purple boat was here in Michigan for a few years. Probably 2014-17 ish. Owner had lots of fast boats but couldn't run this one wide open, said it was a handful over a 100mph. Same guy had the yellow 41 saber wicked one, and the boat hauled the Mail on Lake Michigan

Dan Adams. He sold that boat right before or right after I sold Hot For Teacher, which was March 2018.

honestly looks like a giant headache with old tech power to me…whether it’s updated or not.

blowers and carbs can’t get much simpler then that might be old school but worked for a heck of a long time !!

Yep, may be cranky if not tuned right.
Sure, and even though Mercury isn't producing anything like that still, that stuff is still coming out of quite a few engine builders on them aftermarket side till this day.

I had 871 blowers and carbs on 502 2 throttle pumps and it would fire write up. Let them warm up for a few min while outing tops away in your in your way. I like to let oil temps warm up anyway. And I have also had efi. They work great until the they have a problem as well. Everything has a place just saying a properly tuned and set up blower engine with carbs will run and be just as reliable if not more reliable then some efi stuff.
