130mph would certainly be respectable in a basically bullet proof package. My next question would be whether it was propped for top end or something more user friendly.

Nice Pics Jay!

I actually looked at the boat yesterday at LCM. Although i'd been told 130 the telltale and the guy who ran the boat there both indicated 125. Didnt look at the props but i believe the dealer said 16.5 x 37.5 Herring 5 blades. ($7500 ea)

I stopped by LCM on my way to the Poker Run & looked at it briefly (didn't uncover it) & it looked immaculate as did the trailer. I never inquired about the speed. It didn't have props on it while I was there & I'm not familiar w/ the cleaver prop pitch's & what would be considered a good all around prop vs. a TOP SPEED setup. I'm aware of the history of the boat, it's owner etc but think the reason it's remained on the market for so long (1yr+) is the fact that it is a 4 seater & conservatively powered for the likes of the average Skater enthusiast.
