Hull was designed by Michael Fitz and custom made by Clenton Thompson of T&S Marine in Gainesville. Hull is 3/4" divinyl cell cored from keel to gunwales, entire boat, commpletely hand laid with 8 layers of glass in the bow and keel. It is the tightest, most solid boat I have ever ridden in (runs very flat and rides like a Yellowfin). Zero hull flex. 24 degree deadrise. It gets up on the pad, with the motors trimmed up - ran 59+ with 3 guys and 220 gal fuel yesterday. Motors are in great shape, very strong, low hours, the cowlings have some fading on top but not sides. The hull is in great shape externally, beautiful finish, and the inner liner and ring deck are the same. Boat is being detailed right now. Motors just serviced with new plugs, filters, lower unit oil, etc. New ECMs under factory warranty last year - 250 hrs overall, and less than 20 on new ECMs. 50gal live well with 2 pumps, plus 2 bilge pumps. Custom T Top by Marine Specialties - no flex - very strong. Trailer is Owens and Sons double axle (tortion bar) aluminum with double bunks, so it loads very easily. New brakes and carpet on trailer ($1000) 2 weeks ago. Boat overall is in excellent shape, replacement value is $80k+. Boat has won $100k++ in SKA and other tournaments.

Hi Gary: I'm a bit confused. Is this boat a 2003 model year? Does the boat and engines have 250 hours?

Looks like a nice ride. Also, please what is the fuel economy? Is this your boat? Maybe we can set up test.

Thanks very much.
