There is nothing wrong with the boat and it rides like a dream. Not many boats I role at 90+mph with my five year old aboard and this is definately one that I felt very safe and stable in. I really like it because of all the Saccenti similarities to my 36'.

I believe this is only owner number two. The way I understand it the first buyer had money issues so didn't actually buy. Then, first owner ended up moving to Europe so he sold it and they have owned it ever since.
The problem is the price point on a one of one boat. In this market you can get a TS TG for 130k and a TS Tiger for $150k. Both boats are comparable speeds with smaller more reliable, less thirsty power. Obviously they aren't going to run is well in the rough as the chief but it is priced a bit higher..
I consider this boat to be similar to the white lighting "Legend" 41' that sat at aqua toy store for years before someone picked it up for cheap in relation to what it cost to manufacture. The resale is what I am sure scares most buyers in other directions.
