I had one I loved it. Mine had twin 260s and alpha ss drives would run 70 all day. I took it on many long trips and she handled everything that I put it through. Congrats and good luck

Thanks a lot guys,.i didn't get it yet,so I'm hoping everything is good,it has a bravo xz drive an a 509 Ritchie Zul motor,I'm hoping that she is all good,the guy selling it seems like a great guy,an has been very nice throughout the process,I should be taking it on her maiden test run tomorrow,.im not to worried about speed because I'm sure it will do atleast 75,I just want a good reliable boat,I had a terrible season this year an basically been boat less an spent a ton of money for no reason after buying a checkmate for top dollar with a bad motor,"the guy saw me comin"..this is N older boat that was built in 04,.i just hope she's nice an reliable,that's all I'm praying for

I got the boat,an I love it,I bought it from the guy on here named sickstinger,real cool guy an was straight up about everything,..I'm so pumped,.i don't know how to post pics here,or I would,..but I'm not to skilled yet in driving with these huge 380 kplanes,an this gigantic drive that's on it,but the colors of the boat are sick,the cam sounds crazy,.an she shoots about 150ft rooster tail,.i ran 79mph was my fastest run an that was at about 4800 rpms with a 28bravo...there's a couple of small things ide like to change in the office season,but other than that she is a great boat that I really think I will enjoy for the next few years,.😬

What is neutral on your mechanical indicator? I doubt you should be trimming that high.
