The boat takes roughly seven to ten seconds to get on plane. I don’t know what the new owner has going on with the boat since I saw that the engines are for sale on here so I’m not exactly sure what it does now but I’m sure it is the same timing.

Went to look at it for sale in FL , owner said he took it in a trade . Mechanic found problems with one of the stringers and the entire transom . Both drives had water in them and the trailer was the wrong size . Didn’t bother with continuing to the motors after seeing the condition of the rest of the boat . Seller offered to put new seals in the prop shafts . And the gennys gone too . I explained they should come apart made an offer then left .

the dirty o7 boat at a minimum needs both six's rebuilt and both top ends rebuilt. there's about 20k to add to the purchase price. food for thought. btw, the flag boat runs 120 mph, i've been friends with him for a long time. it is maintained with an open check book to say the least. he adds c16 to the mix just for the hell of it lol. the engine builder is jimmy z, one of the best i have ever come across. he maintains the motors, could easily build them if he wanted but they have been sent back to sterling for the fresh internals. the boat just received 20k in props, like i said money wasn't the object here. if someone was interested i think you could just about name your price. he doesn't drive the boat anymore, he likes his 165 mph skater a bit more lol.
