Yep, I know EVERYTHING about it since it's mine. Runs 65 mph or so in calm water with a 26 Bravo 1. Boat is super clean and unmolested original. Call anytime even if ya just wanna chat and possibly kick the tires !

3rd post down is a post about it or them (my 97 and 98 Tantrums) depending on how you look at it.

I miss my 28 and your boat is really nice, but the speed is not enough and a painted trl. In salt water left my Superboat sitting on the side of the hwy. years ago. It is a nice boat though. Vic

as clean as it seems and unmolested, I'd sell the steel trailer buy an aluminum one and maybe upgrade as you wish. Boat seems to be priced well also

Default Well priced and clean

Just want a done deal with no work involved, I bought a 28 savage with a 496ho, by the time I upgraded to a 525 and other work I was way to far into the boat. Your boat is real nice, just looking to be in the high 70's even mid to low 80's to really enjoy the boat. I have been down the upgrading route way to many times. I was figuring that boat was faster.

Its kinda funny bout the trailer, the aluminum one on the 98 was gonna get swapped with the steel one on the 97 until I figured out how to keep the damn thing sunk on the ramp. Was a major pain for a while but I got it worked out, all in all the steel trailer carries the boat better and its the original package. Good Luck with your search.

I put dumbbells on my old Rocket aluminum trailer. It took 200 lbs. the first time. After I redid the trailer, I was able to drop it to 100 lbs.

Searching " floating trailer " here on OSO. You will come up with lots of good info.
