Ck it out, it's time for it to have a new home.
a link for the ad would be helpfull...lol :sifone:
Haven't gotten a call, I don't think a link would matter at this point.
Maybe it's not worth what I would like to get for it.
I'm always open to a reasonable offer though.
I have a spare engine & trans also.

Great boat.. I drove it for the previous owner in Point Pleasant.. It won a lot of races.. We took second that day.

Thanks Jim
Look at how much of the bottom of the boat is in the water.. Not much.
That's why they go FAST with not a lot of power.
When this boat had the B&G big engines which were about 550 hp it ran 93 mph.
Now to be able to handle it @ 95 is another story, but Bill G is absolutely the best there is.
It has a 2 454's low hp. It is set up to P-5 class specs from 2004.
I think the breakout speed was 70 mph. With the props that are on it it runs 73 wide open. I have used the boat this way for 4 years now with very few problems.
Priced lowered - $29,500. Ready to move on another boat!
Boat needs to go to make room......ALL offers considered.
Just serviced & ready to go.
Car Or boat trades considered
Need to cut a foot off for the perfect class 5 OPA boat......
Are you sure it's 31'?
It has been a perfect pleasure boat for my family & I for 5 or 6 years.
Not a lot of frills but a blast to run & holds 6 people comfortably.
When you pull up to your favorite bar or restaurant on the water the people just go nuts over it every time.
It is a true piece of offshore history & still 95% original the way it came out of the factory & in great shape.
u couldnt run it in 5 OPA or 4 SBI now anyways....only single engines allowed !
but in class 4 OPA it would run awsome with some bigger power..85 breakout !
so twin 500 HP or even more..would be the ticket to race it in OPA !
other then that .i think its a great pleasure poker run boat for LOW $ !
GOOD LUCK with the sale !

Gary Hartman @ B&G in Point Pleasant NJ. built them & throttled for Gazell a bit & has done 90% of the work on the boat during its racing days.
Gary is a friend & was in Fl last week. He serviced & went over the boat for me.
maybe go the old farts meeting next weekend and show it ..it may sell there !
Just an idea.. i will try to make it there too !:party:
