Re: Why so cheap?
Huh?
I think it is an ex-race boat that has been in a few "incidents"......
I would still(and may) jump on it. It's sweet ride, always been one of my favs.

I'm not sure about a roll. I actually think it's never been over, just pitched about everyone that has run it hard.
That being said, I almost bought it from D-Hlaw, and I might try to buy it again. It's a bad mofo if you give it respect. I don't plan to make too many hairpins with any of my pleasure boats.....

Re: Why so cheap?
Bob has completely gone through that boat. It has a brand new interior that allows it to be driven from one side, stereo, back seat, etc. He did a really nice job. He also had the stock 500's redone by Innovation and turned up to 560hp. It probably has less that 20 hours total since Bob bought the boat. As for the history.... Tres had the boat built and ran it for half of the season in F2 which he and Todd won. The boat had never rolled but had spun at lake X, but that is to be expected in a new boat that is testing. Tres never spun that boat in a race. Boat was sold to Kevin King. He and Gil Lieber raced the boat in GLSCS and damn near got killed. Boat rolled and sunk in fresh water. Boat was returned to Martin Offshore and completely refurbed by Tres and was perfect. The boat was then sold to Dave Edelstein who raced the boat in OPA P3. Dave and Val had an incident in OPA but the boat did not sink it just broke off a drive and took on some water. No prob, Pro Roc took care of the issue and Dave ran the boat for many races without incident. I bought the boat from Dave and raced in 2 races resulting in a spin and partial roll in Marathon ejecting myself and BK1. That sucked. I traded the boat to Bob for the super V. Bob is a "no expense spared" kind of guy. I would not hesitate to buy that boat. It is one of the best balanced and fastest boats I have owned. It just needs to be respected in race speed turns, period. Tres had it figured out, Dave had it figured out, I didnt. Somebody is gonna get a awesome deal. Greg, you would be nuts to even delay one minute in calling Bob. That will get snapped up quick!!!
