Its a cool old boat, but I'd think that a 77 Super is a heavy sumbich.. the #s he's claiming (hp and speed) seem to be on the high side to me... like really high
I have a race layup 24Super with a procharged 454 making around 650-675hp, and am currently running low 90s with the stock non-coned bravo fairly easily... not saying it doesn't require driving the boat, but really it isn't too bad (imo).
I've talked to Jeff (JC Perf) about the 102mph Super... I think it was making 750hp or so- if I remember right? I know its the fastest 24/7 on the planet so far.
It does look clean in the pics, but I think that 11K is on the high side. More like 8.5-9K maybe?? Lots of old hardware on that boat... brings the price way, way down for me.

The neighbors didnt think that was too cute... Prob cause theres no snow yet!!!! Oh well.......
