Yes, I almost bought that boat to flip. It was a repo. I looked boat over well and was overall clean for a 97. Was dirty when I looked at it but new it would clean up. I was scared of hours (I was NOT told motors where freshened) and radar arch is some times a hard sell on go boat? Still a lot boat for the money. It is hard loaded GEN, AIR, RADAR, ECT. With a sea trial I would not be scared of boat IMO.

Sweet boat with a lot of features for the money. There was a 380 powerquest for sale for 2 years in the Detroit free press that just languished FOREVER, this was 5 or 6 years ago, I think it was a 98 or 99 though, I thought about buying it when it went from mid 120's to high 80's but when I asked around was told they handled like a total POS and to avoid buying it by several people, not sure if the newer ones had poorly placed steps or what the reason why, keep asking around, I'm not sure what the handling quirks were they were complaining about, Smitty

I was told 97 straight hull handles excellent and runs pretty good for not having steps. Best riding PQ built. Lows 60s with that power.
