Looks like a nice boat. Lot of boat for the $, older superchargers with hours will require more maintenance not a bad thing but you have to be smart about it. Also what's the weight for towing purposes?

I'm guessing 70-72 @ 5psi...but that depends on the boost those 250 B&M are set up at. Mine stock with 525's/Bravo's ran 74.

That was my boat for the last 10 years and 70-72 was the top speed. It is still in great condition,never kept in the water and always run easy...still the same engines and drives.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Either someone spent a boat load of money and time restoring the boat and lost their ass or it has been sitting in a time capsule and has been clean, waxed and loved all the while. SUPER SHARP boat. Good luck
