Engine is in, boat is completed!!
Finished the install and sea trialed the boat today.
Conditions: 38 Degrees, light snow. . . Seriously!!!!
Ran great, only took it out on a small lake was hitting 65+ at mid 4000 RPMs with a 25P Mirage. I expect that the boat should be in the low - mid 70's.
Boat will be completely detailed this week and ready for showing.

Re: Engine is in, boat is completed!!
It's been in storage for the winter. Just got it out 2 weeks ago. Not one person has showed up to look at it. I'm sure one of the first to actually see the boat will buy it.
It is in very good condition and there is nothing that isn't right with the boat. I just emailed 9 people who have inquired about it recently to let them know that it is ready for viewing and testing.
I'll give it a week before it goes on Boat Trader. I just don't want every knucklehead out there looking for a boat calling me. These are true offshore boats and not something that most novices should own as a first boat in my opinion. I try telling people this when they call, but they don't understand.
I'm sure it will sell it's a very good price for a great boat.

Re: Engine is in, boat is completed!!
Thanks for the support and input. The 502 was definately the right choice. I think I'm asking a reasonable price for the condition the boat is in. My wife says to bump it up, and I really should. I'll let it ride for a week or two and then decide, if it goes on Boattrader.com I might bump it up to a better asking price of $ 36,900.00. There is nothing on this boat that wasn't done top notch, alot of time and $$ spent making everything right.
I even re did the hatch ram. I didn't like the force it put on the hatch mounted the other way. That is the only thing that I did not care for from the factory, everything else is top shelf!!!
