Low Hours - had it out 2 times on the river last year, and maybe 3 total times the previous 2 years. It's clean and has either been stored inside the garage (especially during the winter) or out in the driveway covered up.
 
just to clarify 85hp each or total?

I was really looking for a decent bass boat, but I'll keep this in mind.
 
Top speed is 50 mph - maybe a little more on a calm day.

No performance mods - 100% stock although I've looked. Top 2 mods are impellers ($250 x 2) and milled head ($75 x 2).
 
good price...

I want one of these things, but i am lookin at challengers because they have the "bed" on the back

good luck with the sale!

Swim platform? Mine has that.


The challengers are a little under powered with the single 110hp engine. Definitely stay away from the single 85 hp version....

exactly why i wanted to confirm that 85hp each.

the 85hp singles can't get out of their own way.
 
These are great little boats. I used my buddies a couple years ago. I took it Up North. I took it out on Lake Michigan to jump the big wakes from the Beaver Island boat. It was a blast.

Good luck with the sale.
 
man you have some nice toys, you want another quad for the boat? lol

My wife would probably kill me.

I'm actually thinking of selling my seldom ridden YFZ450 too.....brand new long travel suspension, built motor, gussetted and powdercoated frame....very clean.
 
$4K will take it away - Houser +2 LT a-arms, Elka elite front shocks, Houser +2 anti-vibe steering stem, Lectron 44mm carb, ported head, 12.5:1 piston, fresh powder coat, gutted wiring harness, FCI intake, 2007 SE hi/lo comp/reb adjust rear shock and linkage, and there's probably more.

Hasn't been fired up since complete rebuild Jan 2008.
