Here is another one that could be a good deal if you have some engines sitting around!

Other than that, it's a sharp looking hull, I really like the graphics.
Powerstroke........ I hear ya, and I could'nt agree with ya more. All those little things that you mentioned are the little things that don't show up in any pics. You're right, there's no reason that anyone should let all that cleaning maintenance get that bad, does'nt matter how old the boat is, it's not that hard to keep what ya got clean. If people are too lazy to clean their boat, it makes me wonder how much other maintenance was left alone too.
Thanks for the update.

Damn, it sucks to see that boat like that. Just a few tidbits. It is set up for BIG power and #5 drives on boxes. It has had every single piece in the hull replaced in the 03 and 04. And all the work was done by Art Lilly at his shop. This was his best customer. With 750 blower motors and the 5s it would do 90-92. When I last saw it the paint and interior were flawless and those graphics are all vinyl. If you bought it the way it is, it would require a lot of rigging stuff, but it is still a 4 year old boat in some ways. But it is still a big heavy boat and takes big power to make it go. Oh well, last time I was on it was for Miami to Key West with FPC, see ya Wired...
Would'nt be a bad deal if it only needed engines, BUT, I'm sure there are no headers, trannys, bellhousings, coolers, all the pumps, brackets, and lines. Then, I doubt there are any drives on the back, if there were, they'd post a pic of the transom. So, now you'd need Speedys, transom plates and gimbles, trim cylinders, tie bars, props, etc, etc, etc, and the list will grow. Is there any steering on the back?? I doubt it. If ALL it needed was "engines", then it'd be a decent. The way it is, it needs complete rigging, then when you're all done, what's it really worth compared to what you've invested into it???
Other than that, it's a sharp looking hull, I really like the graphics.
