I'm prettysure this is the same boat that was on the market a few years ago when I was shopping. I heard then that it ran somewhere north of 120 mph. Was claimed to be a very clean boat.

Might not be that bad. MV's 35 would be about equal in engine weight, the diff would be the #6 vs the bravo setup. The trannies would push some of the weight foreward. Probably no worse than a couple soaking wet fat chicks on the platform. For the money I should buy it just for it's educational value alone. [WINK, WINK] (computer chalenged version)

Don't be busting on RIP, I think he's sniffing around for a beak boat.

That is a very obscure boat. Very short hull for that type of power. 6 drives will help some with ride and handling. I bet at 120 it is a handfull though.

I do know that at 6'6" and 240, much like Mike, a 38 is the smallest of the "little guys" boats I can even fit in...the helm, or the cabin. :evilb: :D

Showing that FINE Fountain re-sale value!! (Just busting! :D )

Ragged would need MUCH more then a 7 day auction to buy anything! Maybe if it was a 7 month auction.....

Not sure it was actually sold based on the seller's ID and the winning bidder's ID - "World1960" sold it & "World7760" bought it?
