I bought this boat last year for $2000. The guy I bought it from had repainted it white- with a Wagner power painer! Needless to say, at the sea trial before I purchased it, most of the paint peeled off the hull. He was asking $2700. A friend and I stripped the rest of the hull to reveal the old red paint. The motor was de-rigged, and the boat was custom painted maroon red. Re-rigged plus motor rebuild & new control box. I replaced all the old gray upholstery with white and had new vinyl seatcovers made for the bucket seats. With it's 21p SS prop it runs 56 mph. It is rated for a 140hp.
