I'm not the brightest bulb in the pack, or the shiniest tool in the shed. I try and not step on any toes, cause drama or fights and keep my sarcastic comments to myself. But this add sent me over the top. Really this guy wants me to bring my gps so he can prove his boat does 100? I'd love to take you up on this good sir, and if it breaks the triple digit speed I guess I found my new boat!!

That hp 500 better be a full race 604 and even then I think its going to come up 25 mph short!!

I mean I usually don't like the bashing thread stuff and he has some nice hardware on the boat it is built right from the pics. Just alittle (or alot) exaggerated on the wish o meter. At what speed do you hit a wave and your pedestal seat base break off? Just curious.

Also. With 100 mph top speed wouldn't te cruise be better than 25?

Exactly what I was thinking, hmmmmmm. I would be scared to go 100mph in a small boat like that.

maybe the motor turns 18,000 rpm. that would work out about right for a cruise speed of 25 and a top speed of 100

In the words of "the doc" "when she hits 88 miles an hour you're gonna see some $hit"

The 500 efi is rated at 470 hp I believe and I wonder if this was put in later because I didn't think they were going into new boats as late as 2007 but could be wrong. I know it's a bigger boat but a buddy had the 253 with a slightly bumped 575 and was a strong runner but still only an 85 mph boat with absolute best conditions and that's an extra 130 hp or more.

Actually looks like a pretty nice rig, maybe not a hundy but i would bet its close or gah-damn fast none the less

Lol. Based on the ad and the fact I read 100mph on the internet it seems legit.



Before GPS I drilled the pitot on a boat I was selling. Instantly ran 8mph faster.
