Yeah I was drooling over that boat for a while. IMO, and what research I came up with.

The boat is FRESHWATER, very well maintained. Lots of boat for the money. Orginally a Michigan boat. Slow, around 100mph. Sweet drives. Not my fav engines but they were freshened by Dave W. who has a pretty good rep, especially on old school blower carb motors. Does NOT come with trailer pictured, comes with an older Fifthwheel trailer.

It should be at least 100 mph. Did right around 100 mph in same model with 900 sc's and totally wrong props. Boat does have cool cockpit and a good ride but takes a lot of hp to push it.

Buy it, sell the 1000SC Merc's to recoup and repower with whatever your wallet will allow. I like it myself, just a little bigger and heavier than I wanted.
