Hi all, anyone familiar with the 280 listed on ebay, hard time believing 81mph. I figure more like 73-75, or have a clean one for sale. Thinking about buying another one, sold my old 1999 a few years ago.....Thanks!

No its not a 81mph boat. I believe Boatnt on here bought the boat from out west, had it shipped to Illinois and did the dash paint, interior and engine work. Contact him and he will tell you anything you want to know. I believe Tom sold it for about $35k 2 years ago. I'd offer 30k

Thanks for the info...I'll try and reach out to him.

I would say 71 mph is more realistic in that package

I think tom saw a best of 75 on it

Were hp 500's still carbed in 2000?

You could get a carbed 500 in 2000, yes
