The performance is awesome crisp acceleration top speed aprox 95mph with hearing props close 100mph this is amazing with factory mercury stock power.. The condition is outstanding prior to me was an older gentlemen owned the boat who babied the it. I purchased this boat with the pretense to use it at my Fort Lauderdale house to go back n forth to Bimini plans changed and a purchased a house in Costa Rica instead so I decided to sell the boat. I brought the boat to Rolf at pro tech who originally serviced the boat brand new and gave Rolf a open check book and told him to go through the entire boat, I had Rolf pull off the drives and check the gimbals and the drives where serviced and repainted with new zinc. all the belts where replaced all fluids where changed, new fuel pumps, filters injectors pulled and cleaned and benched tested, new air filters, 3 new headers three where boarder line so I had them replaced,There where other things done too.Including in the sale brand new fountain cockpit carpet paid $1,500. I Did not want any problems running back to Bimini. I believe in preventnace maintenance and I over serviced everything I own. Who ever buys this boat is getting the best serviced fountain out there.. and is also getting a steal. The boat is free n clear and ready to sell have title in hand. This boat handles like a 42 fountain very easy to handle but takes the waves much better extremely comfortable..It amazing how this boat rides and handles..Plus the cabin is very accommodating almost 6ft head room boat has generator and AC N heat boat is a fun weekend get away and wont be cramped..This boat has the best of both worlds speed handling, comfort and sleeping accommodating and the cockpit is amazing too with the 4 stand up bolsters, Cant think of another boat this size I want to own.

"Chicken Storker"?

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 know Jeremy, and he is certainly NOT a Chicken Storker.

I heard when he water tested it they had 3 different pitches on each prop, that can't be good for the boat. And who sells a boat like that. :cartman:

Wow! Won't expect anything less in the marine industry

I will say, according to Jeremy the broker was top notch and professional. It was the owner that was the problem.

So with "hearing" props it runs 100 mph, wonder how it would run with seeing props?:)

Probably like a raped chicken storker !

Brooks, is that the boat you ended up buying?

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...

Brooksie bought the boat that RT currently owns...as the triple-props turn...lol....

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

Maybe.....choker?..........lol

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

Stroker, Choker.... Pretty much the same when yer talkin bout chickens......

B'n that he's from Ohio, I'm not so sure about that?????:grinser010::evilb:

Think Steve Miller...

He's a Stroker he's Choker...He's a Buckeye poker.

The owner of this boat calls me one day from FL because he saw my ad for my 38 fever I am selling in New Jersey.
I figured he was interested in my boat. Instead he asks if I know of anyone that might be looking to buy his boat :lolhit:
As of last week it is still up here not in FL

Just wait, probably going to be another thread started about all the lies involved in the sale.

After this thread, could be about how the buyer backed out...

Lets just hope if it is that bad.

Lol,I just sprayed my coffee

Sure wouldn't break my heart :party-smiley-004:

With enough time and money, it could be great..

I love the fact that the guy felt he had to call somebody out in his classified ad, yet the dipsh1t couldn't even spell 'stroker' correctly. :D

I know, right?! And at least Jeremy had enough class not to rip the guy after he wasted an entire day, airline tickets, etc. just to play games!

ROTFLMAO..........best part of my day at work, your killing me
