The guy that I got it from is very anal about everything he owns, which I am happy about seeing this boat is from '86, you sure wouldnt know it from looking at it. (In person)

My uncle use to have one about 5 years ago with only a 150hp Merc on it. When he would slam the throttle down, the nose would "wheelie" and you would be looking straight at the sky. It was pretty sweet. This boat should do that no problem.

Also, the guy I got it from maxed the speedo out at 90mph with the 26 pitch prop @ 6000rpm. Redline is 7500. Should be fun! :D
