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!!!

I'm amazed they'd even sell an OL with bravos!

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?!
