Thanks, I hope so, I didn’t notice the dates til after I replied. Sucks to learn that the dealership I bought it from lied and told me it was a 1 owner boat and that the owner paid over 900k for the boat. I know that’s what it sold for new but apparently the guy that owned it before me didn’t pay much more than I did. I had even told everyone that I really liked them and thought they were super honest. Apparently I was wrong.

Sandyh,
Since you are a new member, and can't send PMs, I sent a PM to Mac on your behalf asking him to check in on this thread.

On a different note, as I scrolled up and saw posts from Carey from years back...
...I have to admit it shook me a little bit. So many of us miss that guy like crazy. ;(

Bad service and lies from PBC?! You aren't alone there brother! Don't get me started but hopefully your $hit at least runs when you get it..

Very cool boat though congrats!!

Plane flying over Miami with “buyer beware performance boat center”?

Boat sales I’ve found parallel used car tactics and hassle.

I think Torrente likened it to getting married…

Definitely not a one-owner, and it was for sale at 149 at some point. I used to dream about that boat.

if I was you, I’d go enjoy it and not worry too much. I don’t think there has ever been a “story” with the boat so at worst you may have overpaid and put too much faith in a salesman. I’d go polish it and drool over it if it was in my garage or lift.

if you want to trade even for my tiger I’ll bring it to you this weekend!!

I don’t think you’d be happy with that trade since both engines were bad, Performance lied about the engines, said they were fresh and that they had gone through them. One was leaking water through the head and the other had a cracked crank. I’ve never even put it in the water. I’m at least 30k into parts so far and thankfully my husband owns a machine shop so there’s no labor but I hope the entire world knows what I did not, NEVER buy anything from Performance Boat Center.

Hi, I have tried to reply with pics or post pics but it won’t let me because I haven’t made 10 posts since I’m new. I had it wrapped the day after I picked it up, with the intention to paint it this winter but I’ve lost all summer because Performance lied about it and the engines were both bad. I’ve never even driven it yet, thankfully we went through it before we put it in the water and found that the engines were shot so luckily we didn’t grenade them at speed.
