Quality & performance V
 

Looking for a fair priced V possibly Sunsation 288, Magic 29 Wizard any others with a single to look at ?

Is the Magic any good, don't know much about them ,but seen a few good deals.

Has to be a 75-85 mph boat for $45k and under, no blowers.

Just starting the shopping around and could use OSO help.

Thanks Guys

Only respond, if you have something good to say about the mfg,- thanks

Laveycraft 2750 or 29 if you can find one. Meets all your criteria and awesome in the rough.

I can think of about 3 Sunsation 288s that run 75-85 none without blower help and none will be under 45K.

Probably right, would have to have newer 525 at least to do 75+ and most have 496 and can be bought for around 45K if older,but in th60's.

wont see those numbers in a sunny for that price. It's a great boat and they can be found for that price but not at that speed range.

Check out Activator for sure. Best rough water V out there. I doubt you will find one for45k but they are worth the extra $. Build quality is great. Another thought is to maybe buy a good hull and over the next year or so build a motor/drive configuration to achieve the speed your looking for. 85mph for under 45k is a tall order.

Yeah, but we might live with 79mph LOL
Had a 24 V that ran 83-84 , boat I have now, a cat runs over 100 easy, but retiring, going to live on a smaller budget, but still want to play and wife wants the room.

n/a yes, but with a good reliable vortech supercharger mid 90s for under $45k is right here.

Have a 2000 year model - 280 Velocity with a Mercruiser 454 HO MAG MPI 385 hp @ prop / Bravo outdrive and 4 blade SS prop with very low hours completely OEM stock . No VST problem child fuel system as it has the Mercruiser Gen II cool fuel system.

Matching Tandem Trailer included. The boat has been stored properly now for almost two years - Nov 2012 ( drought here and busy during boating season then busy ) Will make boat turn key - battery, Impeller, fuel filters, tires, wheel bearings and whatever else comes up upon making it completely lake ready. Very very light load I have seen 70 mph once. Will run 65 to 68 all day long completely stock. Asking 28.5 K. You have extra change in your pocket to make this boat a lot faster.

Have to stick with the 80mph or won't satisfy my need for speed, but thanks
