Dave, that describes my ex girlfriend to a tea....

Does look good for the money.

 

[RNGRDVE]

I agree it looks good for the money but I don't get why a boat in "imaculate showroom condition" only has 2 low quality pictures.
My parts boat was 18,000 less and had more/better pictures.
What year is this boat? He forgot to add that.

 

[Budman]

Looks like the Gen V HP500. So maybe 1994?
I wish mine did 78 mph. Didn't they change the hulls a little in 1997?

This was up for sale at the end of last year. Before I bought the Pulsare, I asked if the boat checked out for me would he take $16,000. He said yes at first and then rescinded. I believe he's had it a long time and knew the boat well but I didn't really get a great vibe from him but I didn't think he was dishonest either for what ever that is worth.

Nice boat. Did I miss what year it is?

The years not listed. Its another example of a bad ad. Not enough info or pics.
I can see its a gtx and am gonna guess 92 for the year. Im thinking maybe work on the interior since I dont recall any haveing the headrest type back seat. I also think hes giving it an extra 5mph but who knows.

 

[ezstriper]

I agree on the speed....need more than 500hp to run that in a 251....been there...nice looking boat though...damn..just noticed it's at my marina !!! in the boatel there..saw it a few times..

I agree, probably just a speedo reading.
I just ran a 72.4 gps, 78 speedo, yesterday and would need a lot more hp to get to an actual 78.
But i don't think the HP500 was until 94 unless it was put in the boat at a later time.

thats also a galley boat by the windows, about 400lbs heavier than a std from what I was told...

 

[JCS]

I am flying up to DC this weekend, I will call the guy and go take a look.

That boat was for sale all last summer that I had noticed. Either the owner doesn't want to move on the price or there may be something up with the boat. It does look nice in the limited pictures though.

What does a galley boat include extra?
