I know that boat really well, It was the brochure boat from what the owner tells me, It is a painted hull and I think it had a black stripe originally and its got purple and red now. At first glance I thought that was the brochure pisture but its not thats john running the boat and it does looke like its a newer picture, (damn I phone) It was also one of Kenny mischs' boats and at one time had very big power as I remember.
It has a purple and red sutphen on it, and it has a small area of damage to the right side where it got into a piling at claudios not a big spot but its there, the owner is a mechanic and works on it as needed. Its got little issues like the silent choice doesnt work because a rod hangs up on the through hull area.(super simple fix)
It has twin 502s that seem fairly stock and reliable to me, had a bad manifold last season and was repaired and it went out after that for a few runs to LI, so it all seems to be fixed and running fine last I saw it.
Needs to be cleaned up in the bilge area, but everything for the most part works and it goes out often. It was kept next to our boats for years and has been used on a regular basis, the interior was redone recently and I really like how it was done, the seating has a ton of cushion in it and is comfortable as hell. (id have mine doen by the same guy)
The trailer was pretty nice as I remember, It was one of my top 3 or 4 boats I was looking at when I bought mine and for the Money IMO you cannot go wrong with this boat.
If your looking for a super clean original boat its probably not for you( sea2jet would not have been a good match) LOL
But if your not afraid to live with some minor flaws and put in some elbow grease for a lower "buy in" to the sport this is a great ride!

Sure looks like John's boat to me too. Jeff covered it pretty well. About the only thing I'd add is that it has TRS drives and overall the boat seemed mechanically sound last time I saw it. It's not a "10" by any means, but it's a solid boat that can likely be bought for a decent price (< BIN $). It is a great riding boat, I was super impressed with the ride when I was on it years ago.

Does anyone have a number to call, if it's still John's?
I had his number when the boat was nextdoor to OP, but it has been misplaced.
I have tomorrow free, and would like to go take a look.
If the owner is viewing this, call me 203 687 6688.
Thanks,
Chris
