Did he buy it and mark it up $50k? Asking $240


If I were in his position that is exactly what I would do. This is how businesses survive.

Maybe now phragle can understand my previous posts.

I would personally rather pay more and know what I am getting. It is amazing how fast the total cost of ownership can skyrocket, ESPECIALLY on high perf boat. In my experience the inital cost of the boat is the least expensive part of ownership.

The boat is in excelent shape

Needs good bath everything was kept up
look at the hours written on the filters

Boat runs over 100 gets on plain like nothing, props are very nice it looks like you are killing a cow out the back of the boat when your hard on the gas
What a beast!

Shogren spent money on the outside of the boat and replaced rear seat problem looooooks!!!! brand new

lots and lots of extra stuff on the boat]] The GPS navigation is great to have so your passengers have something fun to do.

Trailer is bad ass Myco much more durable, well built Trailer
(always wanted myco with drive guard)

This Boat feels like you are running 55 at 100
runs much faster in ruffffff water

(old boat I had cant keep up with this boat)

Cabin has tons of room


large bathroom. Girls only one sheet please

king of sound and small bathing suits Godsey personally gave his seal of approval on the sound system he said "it didnt need any upgrades" (he turned it up to 60)

Just fill and drive

Oh! stay the F--k away from the back of the boat the props are supper dangers sitting still.

Seth I cant wait until you can get out again and take a ride.

Own a piece of history

Google James Jet and Michael Vorce

These are the guys who owned this boat (Or stole the money to buy it) Boat was registered with Jett but Vorce was his side kick (actualy visa versa) they didnt have it tow long befor it was taken back

Gerald,

Am I blind here? What drives are those? I dont see the aeration tubes. I know yours has them though.
