Now ALL the power is behind the transom and high,,,,,,, The CG has to be a mess.
Id bet it runs good. Shifting the weight back gets it on the pad and well and packing air nicely.

Im curious what it’s worth. This is one of the most desirable hulls to repower IMO. Someone with an old school straight bottom could put their drivetrains in there and pick up 10-20mph.

But that potential has been damped by the OB setup.

Someone in the carribean might snap it up though.

Im just thinking about my 2 aging higher hour OBs, couldn’t imagine worrying about 4 that aren’t new.

Yes,,, in smooth water. I am wondering more when you start running it like a offshore boat in rough water and flying it.

What you said is the same thing me and another friend said off line, most people are running in pretty smooth stuff or if it gets rough they go in or slow down so for how they use it would be great.

Thats pretty much how OBs run in the rough, just like you described. You could counteract that with some seriously long tab, but there’s no room on the transom of that boat for them.

Wasn’t on CraigsList. But saw this gem heading out in Boca Grande yesterday.

I can almost overlook the wrap ^^ in light of him having the correct guy:girl ratio.

She looks stronger than the boat.
