I think it makes sense. If the boat is solid at 118 that is probably enough. Everyone freaks out when my boat does 70.

That's a whole lot of git-up-and-go for a relatively light and smaller boat...but the 35 hull is definately a solid one!

Ran into a guy this weekend in South Haven, MI with a 1996 35 with a single-step (like mine). Boat had 1000SCs in it and #6s...UNBELIEVEABLE. When he hit the throttles, the boat literally leapt out of the water. The swim platform was cut out to fit the 6s...he couldn't run the drives up with the wheel turned or they'd hit the tabs. Sweet ride for sure.

I remember seeing that 35 with the #6's listed for sale a couple years back. Common sense and desire to be in something newer kept me away from it.

SHOGREN, put me on the list of buyers for this 700 35 if it gets traded back. Awesome piece !!!!

I remember seeing it as well and thought "Way Cool"!!!
But the maintenance has got to be off the chart.


So are you going to make it up here this summer? Think Formula spankin'.

Called the Wigwam yesterday! Interesting to say the least. I guess I need to catch the right person, manager?, when they stop in?, to get all the answers on dockage. Meantime, I have a room and two slips being held, just can't bring myself to put the Biotch in a raft up cluster. Run sounds like a fun time, just would help if there was a little more info posted on the deal.
