You just missed a 344 Cheetah with 500 EFI's that was listed then gone just a few days later. Unicorns but would be a great ride. It was like an '03 or so for $70K!!

Hey snapmorgan, When you are making a significant purchase like a high performance boat, the total cost of ownership should be considered. Most of the boats you have mentioned are well suited to your needs. My opinion is to try and avoid regional or "trendy" manufacturers or designs. Also, while Ilmor's may be good, limited parts availability issues and the cost to maintain and service a Viper power plant will be higher than a BB Chevy. The resale value of a brand like Cigarette, O/L, Fountain, Donzi etc. may also be a consideration. It is delusional to call our purchases "investments", however less of a beating, and a rapid sale the next time around is a nice perk! Just my thoughts Bud!

Did this guy just mansplain how to buy a boat...? LOL

Congrats,
I had a 2000 35 Flame, they are fast boats, and with the 700's it should fly!.

Still wish I would have got that lol.

They were great to deal with. This was a brokered boat. They called the owner and 20 minutes later I was crawling all over it. I was the first person that got to look at it and it shows. Anyone would have snatched this boat up. It is NICE.

I'm looking at the Flame at GSC next weekend. What impressed you about the Flame over anything else you looked at? You obviously spent a lot of time, money and energy looking. I think your reward is an excellent boat. Well done.

This boat was the perfect size for what I do, but the condition is what sold me on it. There is not a flaw on it. They run really well with mild power too. This boat has ran over 100mph with some bigger props. It is set up to run 95 now with some 32's.

sprsptr 05-12-2017 04:11 AM

Beautiful boat, Good luck and enjoy!

MINK 05-12-2017 09:15 AM

Congrats Joe - looking forward to seeing it!

Congrats Joe that's a great looking boat when will it arrive at the lake?

BIGSLOW 05-15-2017 11:35 AM

Joe I saw from your girlfriend that you already got it home and down to Lake Barkley this past weekend. How'd it go?

snapmorgan 05-15-2017 12:07 PM

I didn't get to run it yet. If I can get everyone else's boats done this week, I will get it ready and run it next weekend. Sure looks nice though
