454 Mags EFI/MPI are 385 box stock. That boat has aftermarket exhaust and who knows what else so maybe they are estimating HP.

Von, if they're MAG's, then you're right...it didn't mention that but I'd hope they are at least that. That would be nice, stock power.

Mirage, I did check NADA, that's what I got also. Looks like a nice deal.

Hmmm...

ABOS says $99 to $134 depending on power. If they aren't mags that could be why it is so cheap because 660HP isn't going to make that boat perform real well.

Even at 385 per side it's probably a 70mph boat. A stepped hull with 496ho's ran high 70's on Boat Test.

Not saying it isn't great buy but probably be wanting to add different power or super chargers sometime down the road.

Craig has had some really good deals lately, and a great guy to talk to. I looked at a 35 Sonic he had that was a steal, NOT for me, but I know who got it.

You're certainly right about that. No, the performance wouldn't be very stellar, but it's a solid ride, and the reliability would be nice. Hmmm...

Nick, Call Blume over at Nation 954 605 8836 cell. He has a 30 down at the Ft Lauderdale store. I looked at it while killing time with G.L down there in Feb. It was real clean with the Flag graphics and 496 ho's

You know the rest of the deal with them. If there is a deal to be made, the can make it happen. I was going to call you and suggest this rig anyways. I really think this would be the way to go for you instead of a older Gun or Cafe that has the potential to be a money pit. This 30 is new technology and should be trouble free. Then if you do want to upgrade, just go back to the boys at National and they wont kill you on trading up

Nick, Not much difference in size of cockpit from what you have know. Maybe even a tad smaller with less room between back seat and bolsters. But there is 5' more nose and a little bit bigger sunpad and that aint hard to take.

Besides, As the great G.L. Harvey once said about cockpit space while standing in the drivers Bolster of his Tiger. " My 2 square feet of cockpit is VERY COMFORTABLE, thats all I care about, What more do I need"

GOOD POINT !!!!!!!

Its all good
