Anyone know this boat?

I don't know the boat, but I would not mind building the custom interior for it since PQ is no longer around.

Looks like a weekend project for Boatnt.

I think the price is very high for that project. You should be able to find a 260PQ complete for less than 20k. Just as an example the one in the link below is asking 22k and looks nice. You will have at least 10k into that 9k boat before you are done.

Looks clean, but with 338hrs, just in time for a top end, so add another $2500 on top of that.

338 hours is nothing for a 454 MAG. Unless a leakdown test shows otherwise, that motor is good for many, many more hours before opening it up.

No reason why you cant get 1000-1200 hours out of that engine,,,as long as its left alone/stock and regular oil changes...

That motor is Bulletproof and needs nothing but oil changes & filters .

Yup, 700 + hours on my stock 502 MPI MAGS which should be comparable service life wise to 454 mags. I never had them opened up and they run as good as they did when I got them at 230 hours. Just normal maintance. I'm sure there are plenty of people that " Freshen there engines prematurely and have more issues after the fact if it's not done by someone reputable. jmo

It was for sale all last year. Imco extreme drive, whatever you want for power. Buy it for $7500, put another 10-15k into it and have a brand new boat for 20k. If you have the time and resources it would be fun
