I have 24' motion with twin 300xs. I really like it, you do need some seat time to learn how to drive a true tunnel. Mine settles down above 90 and is like driving a car above 100. I fresh water boat and have done 110 mph in fresh water. I would like a few more mph.
Good luck, that is a beautiful boat.

he sold it to this fellow as a demo 22 months ago. I just spoke with manny and he said its a 140-150k boat today and that 80k is decent on it. Im thinking im an owner in the 70s if I can find someone to go check it out first that knows what they are looking at.

Does anyone know of a service that checks fast boats out? or if anyone here is close I will take care of you for your time.

I got quoted 7380 on a trailer with brakes on my first call. all stainless and aluminum tandem.

I got in touch with larry goldman about a PPI and found a trailer loaded up for 6k. Perhaps we will be motioning soon.
