That would be the perfect machine (6 drive for the rough stuff and it runs 100mph with reliable power )its a little out of my league dollar wise though.

Excellent idea ifound the site but not that particular boat.something like this (47 footer-blank hull )would be ideal for me, thanks.

Word is that these race boats are hard to get rid of because of the very limited market. Especially in this market, I would make a real low offer. Most people in the market don't want to buy a boat and spend the time and money on motors unless they are racing.

I was told EXACTLY the same thing .To me (since i live a half mile from where i would keep the boat) a cabin is useless (too hot to sleep in anyway during the summer )The whole reason (i am told )behind the stepped hulls is less power -more reliability ,more time boating not rebuilding ect.Interesting enough ALMOST EVERY RACEBOAT LISTED on the board(no matter the make ) has been there for years.
