Appears to be a good deal. Someone will have to like the colors though.

Kirk’s boat. Went to some funky charitable foundation and now for sale. If in same shape as he sold it, a deal. He told me it will porpoise until at certain speed (typical).

It's really not going to be worth the money or time unless you find a rare boat that you want to keep for a long time. Plus factor in that 6s cost a lot more to maintain and freshen. I know you thought you would keep your very badass Baja for a lot longer than you have, so most likely the next boat won't be your last. Just enjoy it how she comes and maintain it, they all end up costing more to maintain then we want to admit! Lol! It's hard to swallow but sometimes having a spare bravo and freshing them as needed makes a lot more sense. As you know none of the SCX options are perfect either. There's just really no good drive options that make sense, we can try and tell ourselves whatever makes us feel better but they all have pros and cons, and every setup the cost is a major con LOL!

Since this will be a nice step up from your current boat just enjoy something that has good resale value and plan for the next boat.
