It ran about 90 with me. I believe the new owner had her up to 92.6mph. I never ran it WOT too much. I was more about cruising around and going for a blast in the ocean 65-75mph in 2-3's . Much more fun that going 90 in the flats, IMO. I initially had plans to sell and step up to a bigger boat however we had a family illness and I took off work for 8 months to take care of her, may she RIP. Another year or so and I should be in a good position to get into it again but for now I'll just be a boat b!tch!

Cool, we plan to have a great time. Love the lake, love the surrounding area, hate that I'm missing Americade..

LOL, apologies to the OP for the derail

Not true. Rick loves Fountains. In fact he wishes he had one for people to throw coins into for gas money. Another buddy of mine has a twin 29 beak. Smallblocks or big blocks it ran like ****. Ass heavy and porpoises. The singles ride better and are better balanced period.

Haha, that's great.

Even the singles seem to get tossed around pretty well.....at least any of the 29's (especially the 27's) I've ever ran near. To claim they're the best rough water ride is a bit much, unless for some reason the pad bottom on that boat defies physics.

I say stick with the PP much better boat...wish i had one,,but not all of us can enjoy the finer things in life.....you are one lucky guy...cheers

What kinda sales tax will I have to worrie about?.... I'm going to look at that scorpion next week

Mike sales tax in Illinois for boats is between 6.75-6.85%.

Check to see if the sales tax between the two states is reciprocal. Some states recognize the other states sales tax and do not charge you again, some don't. If they are not, you need to contemplate how to handle that to avoid the double dip.

a few link's that should give you a few idea's, there are some nice bigger boats in the same price range also that i didn't list.
