Funny, I met with the guy who own'd the company that built these boats. They were built in Italy an in total they made right about 400 of these. They are very popular in the South of France, everyone claims how stable and smooth they are. Everyone there also mentioned that this is the boat that NorTec copied to make their Monte Carlo boat. ?

Love those boats. I've seen a gross fixed upper on the west coast get bid up to 4gs. And a couple running ones in the 20s. Price is strong. They seem to go for more in Europe. I love the efficient step hull and reliable V drives.

While it is a interesting boat, being 28 years old it looks like it could get expensive quick (old powertrain) and it can't be fast despite the huge steps.
It would be like the thick chick you call at 2am for the booty call when you leave the bar... Great in the sack but not good enough to date!!

I don't that this will move at this price anywhere around here! Especially Waco, TX...

Dude! that's awesome!!! You have one of those and all the gals gonna jump your bones because it's so chic! Great stabbin' cabin. 55 knots// what is that, 65 mph-ish? One of kind for sure!

What's not to love about this boat? Oh yeah,$55k. If it was about $20k I'd be all over it like a Rockefeller on Beluga Cavier!
