1987 Marathon 22' Boat. Hull,trandsom , floor ,carpet in Great Shape ! Has running 3.7 POWERFULL 4cyl . Alpha outdrive , stainless prop . 50-55 on water .Cuddy is in good shape , Back seat & tanning deck alittle dry rot . It does need clean ing and some interior work . The trailer alone is worth 1000.00 . Looking for SERIOUS offers . Must go

This is an ad on the local craigs list. I checked NADA and the boat weighs 3300#. With a 165hp 4 cylinder I/O they state it will go 50-55 on the water, yeah right.
What do you think, maybe it was 50-55 feet per hour instead of miles per hour. Some poor sap will buy this and actually think it will go that fast.

a 3.7 is more than a 4 cylinder, but I still don't think it will go that fast. In 76 we bought a brand new 18' Mark Twain with a 302 (5.0) and it would run 60 but that is an 8 cylinder.
