Looks pretty nice man! If you don't mind me asking what did you end up giving for it?

"The seller mentioned something about it being propped for quick planning/pulling skiers, so im not sure if that affects the top speed, plus it was pretty windy out and choppy and we were going against it."

This will definitely limit top speed. It can also cause it to overrev so keep an eye on the revs when going to WOT. Props are an easy change, and will most likely take care of the speed issue. Then again, you may decide it does fine as is, and enjoy the quicker hole shot. Either way, it's a beauty. Have fun.

Not claiming to have gotten a deal by any means, if anything i may have overpaid. BUT with how clean this thing is, and all the nice little extras it came with I am very satisfied with my purchase and I will still get a few nice weekends of summer to enjoy it before winter. Im sure if I waited a few more weeks I probably could have gotten a better deal.

He had it listed for 8,900, I offered him 8,400 and he accepted.

That sounds like a very fair deal to me. Congrats on a beautiful and well maintained boat.

I know what ya' mean. Sometimes ya' find that one that's super nice and ya' gotta' have it! Been there done that!

So it's suppose to be mid to upper 80's and sunny this weekend, where ya' headed? Were talking about either going to Salt Fork or Tappan this Sunday. Either way the boats getting wet!

I was out on that same boat yesterday! I thought it was a great boat, handled well, had a fair amount of room in it, very docile in the water. I think you made a really good choice.
Congrats! (keep watch on your depth.. almost guaranteed that new boat owners smack a prop 1st/2nd time out)

Re: New boat purchase, pending, New hampshire questions

45 seems a little slow since my 3.0L 19ft will do 43, did you have the trim adjusted properly?

Old....what prop/pitch are you using?
