Best deal going in the classifieds

Excuse me, but this one does 135 MPH + and costs 50 grand less... It too will handle rough water. If your looking for the best bang for your buck, this is it...

Also note that all white 04 Nortech with 525/XRs sold recently for about his asking price which tells me someone still would rather have a small power NT than a Hustler cat.

To me the CAT deal of the last 12 months was RARE BREED. I think the final asking price on that got down to 149 if I remember correctly.

I would take a 525/XR (reliable turn key everyday) cat over a Hustler cat, and would do it every time if asked again.

Guy actually put the power in the classfieds so I would think he is putting bigger power in. 525's aren't exactly maintenance free, plenty of stories on here about header leaks causing rebuilds but I understand your point.

Not knocking Clifford, Its a bad ass machine and well worth the asking price for the amount of Kaboom it offers. I have day dreams of owning it.
But lets get back to the 120mph 42 Fountains that can only run 40mph in snotty waters.....You have obviously never ridden in one.

All **** aside all 3 boats are great.
Some people love the V-hull, some the Cat, no one is right or wrong.
