    1995 235 persuader test drive....wtf. :(

    yup. i agree with most here on this subject Ok, First, I wasn't try to imply my buddy is qualified because he owns a big scarab. I had confidence in his opinion because he has owned a number of high speed boats from 19' to his now 33'. I'm pretty sure the problem probably is the gimble...

    gimble... "With it being loose, it will make the boat feel scary. When slowing down, does the boat pitch or turn to one side sharply??" Yes. That would probably be a very good description of how we felt. I'll pass it on to the owner and let him do what he'd like. Thanks fellas, you've...

    1995 235 persuader test drive....wtf. :(

    Ok, I must report. I tried out the 95 235 persuader today. It ran great, it sounded great, it looked great, but boy it was a scarry freakin' ride. Two things maybe contributing to this, but still. No trim tabs, and it had a 5 blad prop on it. It just did not feel safe. Seemed like it wanted to...

    1995 235 persuader..

    ah Nice. That looks very similiar to the one I JUST PURCHASED :cheers Assuming sea trials go well tomorrow, we settled on 17.5K. I kind of wanted it for 17, but it is in such clean condition, I figured what's 500. Thanks for the advice fellas. I'll be back soon assuming it's on my...

    1995 235 persuader..

    persuader Jeff, Thanks. That's kind of what I thought too. Any 24' mid 90's boat with a big block in excellent condition seems to be high teens to low 20's. So even though 19k doesn't seem like an absolute STEAL, it doesn't seem outragious either. I think I'm going to make an offer of 15...

    1995 235 persuader..

    Hi, Just wanted to get any thoughts from the experts. I found a 1995 persuader, 454 fuel injected, 280 hours, very clean. Can't find anything wrong with it what so ever. With the exception of I haven't been for a test run yet. I'm seriously considering making an offer even though it's the...
