I thought stock 700's in a 38 ran 114-115.

Nice numbers, but Mercury 700 sci's don't turn 6,000 rpms unless they have Whipple kits and make around 850hp.

Those tachs are probably just reading high a little bit ... ya' know .... they're never quite as accurate as you would like to think

That is a low-hour, high-optioned boat.
Based on market conditions. Legend had a brand new 42' with twin 700 and let it go for $199K. Better pay cash because no bank will loan that much.

Means nothing to this thread. 38/700's are much more rare than 42/700's, and this 38 being discussed is loaded.

Best wishes to the seller, a cash buyer is going to get a great boat.

ECM's have been upgraded to 5850 and slightly smaller pulleys. With stock pulleys and upgraded ECM's it ran 121. It took 4 miles to get to 121. Boat will run 118 with 35 pitch props and on video we were running 37's. Brian blueprinted the bottom and worked on the lower units, sanding, trueing them. Engines have never had a wrench on them. Tachs are a little off as smartcraft shows 5850 and 5870 as max.

Loaded? No paint, gen, ac, or even cockpit carpet.

You obviously do not know all about this boat, and thank you
