Is this the blue one that was on ebay?? that boat looked clean and at 11500 was a steal, I ve heard the twin 350 242 runs low 60's but cannot confirm, I had a 88 242 with a single 454 and loved it

65 mph is what I've always heard. But, no first hand knowledge. Nice rig, show us some pics. These are fairly rare boats, if it's nice, it's worth having and keeping. You know what they say............. someday................

62- 65 depending on load. If you bought the one from NH 11k is awsome it has been for sale for upto 15-18k without trailer for over the last two+ years.
