Well I think its time to move on from boats and get into another project, I think im going to put my boat up for sale

its a 2001 sprint 22.5 but with a new hp 525 installed, the boat is a sleeper for sure has 70 hours on hull and 15 on motor, has xr drive and full hyd steering boat has been taken care of real well, i know this year sells for 20-25k but with the motor pkg i was hopping to get 45-50k let me know what u guys think

the wheels are updated i havent taken any pix of them yet

How does that hull handle the extra weight and speed of a 525?
I'd think your price is reasonable considering the cost of that engine as an option is $35k.

I own the newer 22 Evo and constantly dream of the day I can afford a 450-500HP small block.

To be honest, I road like **** I think the big block is to much weight for for the boat, I was worried about spending the money on trim tabs because I wasnt sure if it was gonna work, the boat was insanly fast but at 85mph it deff made you white nuckle

I just bought a bare hull heat and going to put tje power plant in there, ill be looking for a small block to replace it with

Yeah that Heat should handle that engine MUCH better.
I test drove a Sprint with a 454 and it also drove like crap. It was like a board, it was terrible.
The new Evo with the small block is the best riding boat I've owned, that's why I'll keep the small block and just increase the HP on the little engine.

the funny part is when i bought the boat like 5 years ago it had the 454 mpi in it and I thought it was the coolest thing.. didnt really pay attention of how ****ty it road cause i was so excited i had a new boat.. The boat was in great great shape but now i knew why the 2nd owner sold it in 3 months... People always got into the boat and complained of how bad it road even on smooth water, but regardless I still love that boat cause it was deff a hot rod with that 525 but now im happy i got the heat

Not to spoil your hopes, but in this economy it'll may be hard to sell @$45k. I had my 02 Rage w/ loaded & a new 500+Whipple listed for months & had to let it go for $46k. I was happy with that in these times & I didn't take a loss.
I'm also in Utah where powerboats are a narrow market. It sold out of state.

I know i would never get that for the boat i just put a number up there you never no i may get a sucdker like my self to buy the sprint with a big block lol
