Talking I got a new boat today!

Finally closed the deal. Heres a rundown of the boat.

1983 Formula 402 SR1
Kevlar Hull
Twin 600's
Huber 1200 Trannies
TRS
Stellings exhaust
Gaffrig Air mufflers
Full HYD Steering
A/C
Generator
New autometer gauges
Garmin GPS

Boat was kept indoors, overall very clean for the age. Paint in awesome shape still. Maybe in a summer or two it could use cockpit upholstery, not tore up, but 25 years old. Should make for a comfortable ride on the lake.

Boat supposed to run low 70's. X-dimension is very high, unusual for trs boat. Has labbed maximus 26p props. He said he tried 28P bravo's but midrange suffered and hull was wet, tried the 5 blades and it lifted the boat more, better cruise speed, and top end lost .5 mph.

Mark, I know you run 5 blades on your cig right? Im just worried about the TRS/5 blade combo eating my lowers for breakfast.
