The 6 boat will hold more value in the long run and when your application becomes boring ( from my exp. ) you can throw a whole lot more at them later.

You would spend $150k on a $25k bare hull (and then then still need power) to get it to the point of looking like the 32 Skater "BYond Reason" that Shogren Performance has for $99k complete ready for power.

How did it run when you had the 525s in it?

It was my cruiser boat for the wife and I. I never ran great props just some older props I had laying around. 115mph. We used this boat on inland lakes to go to lunch and crusie around. I have another boat for my speed fix. I personally think the boat needs more than 525 per side to be a really great boat. Twin 700-800 naturally aspriated would be a blast. 130-140 mph then. Bullet proof package that would run for a long time with mild power and sixes.

Nice, I love the Cruiser part!!

So this boat ran 115 with stock 525 efi's, is that correct ?

step up and by my 36.... Brads old 32 is a good boat ready to go,some cheaper but none finer.. these boats will nickel and dime you to death so be careful.The point is penny wise dollar foolish so dont look at price alone look at quality.

I bought an unrigged kryptonite in 05 with wild paint and interior,I figured out what it would cost to put the boat together and guess what? It was almost double what I budgeted.By the time I re-did what someone else didnt do right the first time it just aggravated the **** out of me.

The skaters are serious machines and need to be put together right.Number sixes are a must and good power to fly them.Im happy I paid a professional rigger to do my boat and although it cost me more than I thought,when we go out ,there is piece of mind.There is no dollar figure that you can put on reliablity or safety.Bravo boats are ok but in the back of your mind you know the weak link.Good luck with your purchase!!

Thats what I understand. There was another 32 with Sixes detuned around the same time the B'yond Reason was sold. It was running 540 N/A power approx. 600 HP and in the low 120's.
