Great boat with a Great $. Just a sign of the times, especially if you were to try to finance the boat, you can FORGET it. No one is loaning any $$ for High-Perf. boats, I know and you can ask Dave P. also!

When I lived in NJ I did a lot of boating with the owner. We ran the ocean a lot together and never any drive issues. He took delivery of a new 52' so this one's gonna go.

Keep in mind the load on those drives is spread out over three drives rather than just two, but I agree that tripples and bravos really hurt the value of the boat (obviously).

If someone had the coin, picking this boat up for a song and replacing the bravos with Arneson's might be a hell of a bang for the buck and one fast and sick ride!!! :cool:

to big and to exspensive for me. Looks cool no doubt but even if I had the money think I would go no bigger than 42, 51ft equals a pain to tow it and you need a captains license I beleive

What's wrong with triples? I'm on my second and after all the hype against them, I don't get it. Our boat has XZ's and I've' never had a drive issue with 500 EFI's behind them either.

That 51 is a killer deal! I'd love to have it ! ! ! ! What else does a guy with a 47 move up to?! :evilb:

Adding 10' is a biggggg step up in length from a 47' Fountain! :party-smiley-004:
