The boat was bought in good shape running strong roughly 4 yrs ago for around 80k in Lake Norman. The guy took good care of it but in the end had motor issues and let it go to repo.

Im sure the reason it didnt get on plane was do to the motor issues, if they have since been rebuilt, im sure its good to go. With 2 running motors, the boat gets on plane fine, and although i never rode in it, i have friends who did, and i believe the boat will run 135-140mph

When my Friend was looking at that boat he contacted the previous owner in SC, He said the boat ran 140.When we test rode it here in Ga, the owner was Very Arrogant, I asked him how much boost the motors pulled, he replied we don't look at the gauges when running in the Ocean...Wtf, he said you guys here in your pond (Lake Lanier) might, but we don't. He then proceeded to drive the boat over the concrete ramp,gouging the #5 Skeg and bent the prop.....I was laughing my ass off!!
