Being that it IS the "most ultimate Fountain EVER," I would expect it to run well even with props from a bass boat. So there's that...

Yeah, not sure what that's about. Another forum member (Jeremy) went to purchase this boat and when he arrived it was no where near as described. Long laundry list of items that were supposed to be fixed, were not. Condition was less than perfect. Mismatched, damaged props, etc. etc. They had several deals agreed upon, which the seller ultimately backed out on. The seller is slippery as can be, and this boat does have a VERY colorful history.

I urge whoever has a deal put together on this boat to make sure they are getting what they expect, that's all.

I had a deal to buy this boat two years ago. I did my homework and walked (actually RAN) away. I know a LOT about its history and I have documentation and pictures to prove it. I'm not going to put that out here, but if the person who actually bought it wants to know anything, they can contact me directly through PM here. What I will say is that there are a number of factual inaccuracies in that advertisement.

Nope, I found mine thru Tony at Skater, and everything Tony and the owner told me about the boat was spot on, we need more people like that in the marine industry

Judging by the myriad of spelling mistakes and other typos, I'd guess "Stroker"...
