That is a trip! Reminds me of something you’d see in Europe. Wonder how it performs with those drives and how much speed is lost and what was the thought process of putting those on. It is a head scratcher for sure.

oh, and I look at PBL all the time. You can see the date listed on the ads. Also, I sold our cafe via PBL last year.

I use powerboat listing and sort by date, that way the old listing are down.

Wonder how much speed the B3's lose? Looks nice and the joystick could come in handy when you have wind and tides working on you.

I cannot remember the exact boat but there was an oddball that Performance re-sold a while back. If you remember it had no thru hull exhaust and I thought B3's maybe that was over the pond at some point. Was a white/black boat I believe and then they repainted it, redid the exhaust and sold it. I am sure "The Bible" Bobby Berk knows off the top of his head???

THIS may be the exact reason for the drive setup. Never know, perhaps original owner did not have use of both arms. This would be a baller setup for docking as such.

When I was scouring the interwebs everyday for a 39TG, this was for sale.

It was a FLA boat, painted white, and had the thru hulls coming out under water. Terrible lol.

This was back in 2018

That fact that you can't dock should never be celebrated. Should be discounted. Are bravo 3's even rated for that kind of speed? I'm sure it works well pulling skiiers and tubes.
