Is it just me, or do the lowers not match?

At first I thought the same thing. After looking a little harder, I think the starboard lower had the bottom few inches knocked off from some kind of impact.

Kinda....i bet at some point the skeg was hit and bent so they cut it off and didnt bother to cut the other not thinking about symmetry.

What do you expect for 255k a brand new boat sheesh!! some people's kids hahahaha

No hand in this game, but if you take the cheapest Twin Step for sale. Put a new interior and updated dash, Build 1400HP Engines and plumb them with top of the line parts and SCX Drives, How much would you have into the build. Most of the cheaper guns have high hour 525s and XRs. and run 85mph Just thoughts I guess. Not sure. Problem I see with this one, is it has to be Uninsurable.

I personally think the price is perfectly fine, plenty of 38 top guns with 525,s and xr's being listed at 200k with 100 or more hours, and plus this was the test/development boat for the imco scx drive so I wouldn't Dout it that IMCO maintained this boat with a open checkbook its whole life, and I bet this thing probably runs into the 117-120 mph range.

why would they put it up for sale and expect top dollar with half the skeg missing, open check book ?

Yeah, I can justify the price. Twin step, check. Big power that most don't have, check, Lots of detail, check. Imco SCX drives. 255K was probably new price for a top gun unlimited 2005-2008 base model with 525's and XR's. For same price you get a loved model with almost triple the horsepower and more outdrive. If the SOB flies well and runs like a raped ape who gives a care about the rest, it's worth it.

Kick ass man shop

I thought the same thing. The other lower case looks brand new. Someone definitely spent some money on this build though. Could easily be 100K in drive train here.

Is this the illustrious Rice Hauler?
