Thumbs up Re: 35 Lightning

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.

That's nutts! Talke about a crowded engine compartment. I'd still love to go for a ride in it.
Hey Rippem, I bet that thing floats faster than your 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.
