I know the boat very well. Clean, kept indoors, what do you need to know? Owner has purchased another boat and is blowing this one out so he doesn't have to deal with it over the winter.

It also comes with a much better trailer than what you see in the pictures.

He had a loose wire on the primary side of the ignition that has since been fixed. Give him a call, he is easy to talk to.

I looked at this one before I bought mine. PM i'll give you some info or call the guy, as Ron said the guy is super nice, its stored inside a large garage/pole barn when not in use. HP 500's that have been changed to carb I believe and are almost 600hp. That is cheap money for this kind of boat. I only know of one other that can be bought for that $$$ and its a '97 with 500s.

The green IMO looks a lot better in person, and is different. Me, I can't get over the two weld grain dash panels.....which could and should be easily painted over or wrapped

Overall the boat is well above average condition, and he still has all the stock 500 efi stuff is someone wanted to convert it back.

A carbon fiber wrap on those two "wood grain" panels would do wonders for the boat. Like I said for 59k it is a heck of a boat. A few thousand to update and repair a few minor things (none of which need to be done to use the boat) and the boat would be mint.
