This is nice!!

2007 LaveyCraft NuEra powerboat for sale in California

very rare to find one with the 525 due to the fact that most bowrider people aren't looking to spend the extra $$ for a blue motor. Would be awesome to own tho!

I own a 2005 LaveyCraft boat very similar to the one for sale. We strictly lake boat on Lake Mead and the immediate area. The water can get a little interesting at times. Actually look forward to being in the boat, because it handles the rough water really well. Nobody is riding in the bow seats, but its a kick in the head. Great all around boat. Does everything we want. There is enough room up front to seat four. Most of the time it is 2 tho.
My boat has a 525 and it will do close to 80. That boat with the 496 is likely a 70 mph boat. The build quality is seriously top notch. I think their price is inflated and that is why it is still for sale. That being said, good luck finding another boat like that one. They rarely come on the market anymore. I still own mine, because I couldn't replace it.

The price ? The condition ? The outdrive and its set up, also what trim tabs and size ? And does it have a very reliable trailer to tow 500 to 2500 miles ?

I've never seen any test data but I'm thinking high 50s/low 60s. It has a 9' beam and lots of weight adding amenities so......
