Why aren't their any more hours on he boat, 4 years old with 10 hours? Looks very nice and very clean though.

there is 60 on it & 40 on the motor I already had the ecu downloaded & it has never even been to full throttle ,most of its time was in the 36-4200 rpm & I just bought it !!!!!!!

Congratulations on the new purchase. I bought my 29 a few months ago and I love it!

ECU Download
 
How do you get the download? Is the information in giving you an idea on how the boat was run?

Congrats and Good Luck
 
BTW, they tell me dealers are very motivated to sell. Was that the case with MarineMAx too. Thanks.

Yes I got a SMOOOOOOOKIN deal on it so good i wont say so as not to piss off one who have them for sale . Any dealer can bring up the engine data most will do it for next to nothing . It shows how much time the motor spent at what rpm .

Looks like a nice boat, their asking price was not bad, so I believe you when you say you got a deal.

A 525 29 might see 82 on a 28" B1 prop in perfect conditions. There are some non-reliability-killing mods that can be done to that motor that can get you the power of a 575 while still running on 87 octane. My last 29 had some of this done and was able to turn a 30" Hydro last year but I never completed testing. There was something up with the motor that I had to get fixed........Put it to you this way, it ran 79.5 on 7 cylinders last winter!:eek: Never got back to testing after it was fixed because the heat had come back, but we (the engine builder and me) were thinking about 86 could be done on that engine, but someone wanted to buy it a while back, so I seized the opportunity and sold it. I can't publicly say on here who did the work, (because they have asked me not to) but if you're wanting more speed...........they are the ones! PM me if you're interested and I'll send you my cell number. PS: I kept the 30" LH Hydro prop as well and it's for sale.

PPS: you can't PM!!!!
