54 GPS turning 4100 with 23 mirages, 3 people,full of fuel. I believe with a 21 mirage and a lighter load of fuel i can get to 58-59. My motors are 350 mags BONE STOCK with 595 hrs.

I looked at this boat in person today. Overall a nice boat with new power. The boat was completely repainted, except for the swim platform...which indicated what the boat was like before the paint. The platform was rough and looked like it was put back together with copious amounts of marinetex. Rubrail didn't quite fit right and was breaking loose at the platform. Upholstery was nice inside and out, some of which looked like it was recently replaced. I'm sure the owner has a ton of $$$ in the motors, drives, paint and other restoration work. But I think I'd rather find a well maintained original boat.

this is a friend of mines,just spend a little more money and get ALOT more boat!! true turn key 75 mph on gps. Motivated 2 boat owner,in water now and ready every weekend,no issues. I am sure he will work out something on delivery,check it out.

Broker called today, this boat sold last week.

I've narrowed my search to either a 292 or 311 and it looks I'll need to increase my budget a bit. My wife would prefer an enclosed head rather than a portapot...so I think the idea of a 272 is out.

good 311 to buy,call my buddy and see if it will work for ya.

I'm in the low 30K range, maybe up to $35K...after that the numbers don't add up for me. Thanks for the lead though.

Never know what he may do,he is paying for 2 boats right now,That 311 has more updayes than any other in that price range,actually we took a running video today,74 mph gps!! I just got home.
no other 311 will run that for that kind of money.

This one went quick for $25K... I'd prefer a 292 if we decide to go with a sportboat over a SS or PC but this seemed like a good deal.

I called the guy today and he seemed disappointed it went so quick...guess he should have asked for a higher price....
