Unfortunately, no I don't. The ONLY 340 with 500's I've found in my 1.5 million hours of internet searching is the one in classifieds on here. Appears to be real nice shape, but having a battle with myself on the idea of the old hull design. He only claims 72! I took an 01 with HO's for a ride recently, 80 with that one.
Almost has to be prop issue or not trimmed right, not sure what to think. $ a bit high too.

I had to yell at the old lady to come over and read this, I told her "see, I am normal".....lol
A newer model with blue motors would be sweet!!

Yes I sure did. Just had the maiden voyage. It is absolutely awesome. Went for a blast with the family tonight. I had 12 people 3/4 tank of fuel cruising around Higgins lake for a sunset tour. I couldnt stop smiling the boat with all that weight 10 adults and 2 kids would go 57 mph little more than half throttle trimmed up about 3800 it was a blast! First boat besides fishing boats and pontoons that I have driven even. I Love it family loves it. Bring on the Summer! Boat has 28 bravo 4 blades on it, with less people it is going to need 26 right? 496 ho's........

I bet you'll be smilling all summer long!!
As far as props go, the more people (weight) you have in the boat the less pitch prop you will need, so the 26 you're thinking about you will not need.
If you were able to get on plane with that many people with the 28's, you will be able to get on plane with a lighter load with the same props.
