Eddie, is that the all red one? If so, one of my favorites of all time. I don't know if it's the same one, but Steve Simon took me and my GM contact on a poker run in that or a very similar boat when it was brand new. We killed a ton of boats including several cats in the rough. Made me fall in love with the ZRC right then and there. They are great boats.

Two small soft sided coolers fit fine on the back floor even with 5 people on board. I also pack two larger coolers under the front deck to restock the smaller ones on weekends and multiple day trips.

O4 with Cobra 750's and XR's. I think Powerboat did a piece on this boat when it was new.

Boat needs a new trailer....the 2001 myco in the pictures does not fit it from the back half.....and the trailer is in poor condition. besides that....
I drove 1293 mile with check in hand.... the owner had waited hours before sea trail to fire the motors....the boat has been sitting and not run for 18mnths I was told. Who does that???? The boat had not had a service...had not been washed, 1/8" of dust over complete boat..... (it had not been cleaned since it last was floating...you know the build up you see after a good float near a marina) .
They did get it running and a wash I heard, but after seeing the trailer and how the boat was generally taken care of (or not) .... I killed the deal. Maybe a right choice maybe not...???? but I know the motor/drive combo is miss-matched and the life of this stuff really depends on how you drive it and how you maintain it and I could only assume if the owner kept the things I can "see" like this then how did he really maintain the big HP motors and drives... didn't want to speculate or ignore the obvious. Did that once before on a 2000 Cig and I regretted the choice more then a few times.... The owner has 6, 8, 10 boats and toys and has the means????? He owns a marina I hear.....to hard to make a call to the marina and get the boat out of storage and clean her up? None of my business I know, but I've sold 11 boats in the last 16 years.... I know they run, they are clean and ready when a buyer comes to view/test drive it, ready for a surveyor.....they are always ready.......First impression is the last impression, right?
Broker who represented the boat is a good guy and tried real hard to make me happy...... he did not have full control of the sale(boat at his location) so he was basically at the mercy of the owner and what he wanted to do....or not do
