Ya, someone who buys it is getting a nice turnkey package. Couldn't build it for less than what he's asking.

Rode in one once with big power....Nope...some of you will know what I mean.:eek

I'm a terrible passenger in anything fast.

Totally agree. When they were designed they ran way less power; 115s and 135s. They are tiny boats, I'm a bad passenger too. This one probably does close to 100.

Friend on Long Island had a Hydrostream Viper(15ft.) that had a 2.5L dumpster motor(that's what he called it). Thing would go like 115:eek or so.

This was back in the early 90's, he was running a 2.4 Bridgeport my friends that ran Champ/Mod U played with....that thing started moving around somewhere in the 90's and I wanted to be any where else in the world.:eek
