Looks like a clean boat maybe a little faster than 78mph?

Dry weight on a 38 Lightning is 9800. A staggered 525 boat will run in the neighborhood of 96, Merc 700's with sixes around 110-115. This one should be high 90's to 100, if the HP is near close to right. The side by side will give up some speed to the full staggered set up.

I like the boat and Brett is a stand up guy...Never met him, but has always told me straight up in (emails) the truth. He has nothing to hide and wouldn't think twice about buying a boat through him sight unseen... That boat has been for sale for a bit, just recently reduced and super low hours. Throw some chillers on it!!!

Look closer has what looks like super chillers on it already.

That seems like a low price.
