What 45SS is refering to are where the windscreen meets the gunwale. They all cracked there but it is a gel coat crack nothing more. The gel is actually too thick there and cracks because it can't flex.

The '98 31 has Procharged 540's

I have not seen any stress cracks on mine, nor did the surveyor when he checked the boat out. But now I am gonna go look very closely and see.

Mine had NO stress cracks.
Fastest I know of:
Beccas- 575's with chillers 95?mph
Dano's- 575's with chillers (he no longer owns) 98mph
Carrboys old boat- 525SC's with pulleys 90?mph

My old 31SS did 99mph once,

bigboat28, I was on the end of the house boat rentals tied up to the gunsmoke boat. The motors are the 425 hp. Love them turn key and go. I don't have one complaint.

I agree, a good day of boating is coming home on your own power :)

496's are solid

I bought mine this year and love it, the ride is great no more listening to the wife complain. Also the walkway around the boat is great.

Jim did you buy the white one from Active Thunder?

45SS 09-10-2008 05:22 PM

NO! He stole it. I owned it origanially, Jim got a great price on that boat.

I tried for 2 months to get them to take my trade on that boat and they wouldn't do it.
