I've got the same exact setup and will vouch for the 28mph cruise. Nice ride and good luck with the sale!

Thumbs up
Well now, i can vouch for this boat !!. i took another trip out and came back in in some snotty weather. This is one nice riding boat, Treated with the up-most care. NOT run wide open but at a reasonable cruise. Anyone that would like to hear more of my opinion feel free to PM me.

Don

The radar is networked to the 3210?
Sorry, I'm not up on e-stuff.
The boat looks great BTW.

The Yamahas have had regular service? Anything major to the motors? Have you had compression checked?
Thanks!

The Motors are regularily serviced at a local marina at the start and end of every season, the only issue in 4 years that I have owned it was an overheat alarm that turned out to be a bad sensor. I have not checked compression but it is at the boatyard for winterizing and can be done easily, I have a tool for that as well. These 130's are really effecient and bullet proof...

Way to stick to your guns, VT. Hopefully that person can come up with a couple extra $1K as the boat is definitely worth it. Good luck

How many gallons does it hold? Does it catch fish? Let's see it dirty with tuna blood!

Look at the tuna blood and the non-skid in the cockpit. One thing is for sure, if you go barefoot on these boats, your feet may be a little sore, but you will not slip, all things being equal.
