Ok so its happening, I'm selling the boat. I hate to do it, but I'm getting married and the extra money will help. Anyway bought the boat two years ago and have put over $10,000 into her. Shes an absolute beast for her size. Runs in the crap like a much bigger boat. Cruises at around 23 kts at 3400 RPMs. Tops out in the upper 20's. Engines have had oil changes every 40 or so hours, and tune ups at the beginning of the year. The port engine needs to be repiared, quoted price at the boat yard was $2500. Starboard engine runs great. Here is the list of upgrades:
Electronics:
Furuno Radar
Stereo with IPOD adapter
I have done a lot to the dashboard wiring, new connectors wires etc.
-New cushions in the v berth
-New Battery charger this year
-2 new batteries
-props dyna tuned last year
-new bilge pumps
Hold 230 Gallons of gas in two tanks (full)
30 gallon holding tank
10 gallons fresh water
Crash Pumps
Tower with controls and remote command mic
Outriggers
Remote Spotlight
Fighting Chair
More pictures to come

Reason: SOLD
The starboard engine had a seal go at the end of the summer. Until then it has run perfect, very smooth and strong. The port engine has never had a problem. I had a survey done 2 years ago when i bought it. Came back with no real issues. Hull was dry and in good condition.

We figure we get around 200 miles safely. Have never had flowscans but from the research i have done i feel comfortable saying 200 miles. Obviously that is having plenty in reserve. (60 or so miles)
Sorry thats the yards trailer.

I bought the boat from a guy who lives in Wareham. I think he might have kept it in Onset. He owned it for 6 years i believe. He bought it from The Carolinas. I have all the info and surveys done on it at that time.
We were figuring just over 1 mile per gallon.
Yeah its a block for the wheels.
