Default What do you guys think of this boat?

I am tired of my wake boarding boat and think it may be time to go fast. I don't know what has drawn me to Motion but it's what I like. I definitely want outboards and don't want to go over 30'. I plan on equal parts lake and ocean use and I want something that goes faster than 100 mph.

I don't want something more than a few years old and it must be in perfect shape. I stumbled on to this boat and welcome any opinions on it.

Heck, I guess I welcome any opinions on anything. I think I would rather spend under 100k and do not like buying brand new.

Thanks in advance guys.

Guy wants 80k with no trailer and doesn't have any better pics. I will call motion direct tomorrow he said he paid 119k for it 22 months ago.

So what's that make it worth today? 22 months old with 70 hours.lift kept with just a canopy cover somewhere in Miami?

Can a new trailer be bought for 5k-ish?

I think his asking is reasonable. I'd call Motion and ask who they have build trailers. Might be continental but I have no clue.

I got so busy today that I didn't have time to do any research. How fast do you think this thing is?

Well over 100, iirc weldcrane's went 114. I know 94 on the way to dinner one night was effortless!

Weld, did you have what was basically the same boat? How do you feel about them?

I have a mastercraft wakeboard boat and have had some quick jet skis and even a death trap of a hover craft and I'm ready to go fast.
