Bought this one about a year after actually. Even though I was shopping for a center console. [emoji4]

Nothing like a cold rainy day to make you think about boating. The boat is tucked away indoors as usual but always ready to be shown. There must be a lurker wife out there who's confused about what to buy her husband for Christmas. This is it!

Happy New Year!

Found my new boat and I’m not keeping two.

Is this eBay or RDP? :)

I’d be happy to show the boat, take a prospective buyer for a test drive, and entertain reasonable offers. Feel free to call and discuss, I love talking boats.

I’m not a v hull guy, but damn that is a sexy boat, they really hit a home run with that hull design, wasn’t it the fastest v hull ever tested back in the day by the magazines?

Thanks for the compliments! Heading out into the big blue with the next boat. LakePal is on the money.

It was the fastest for a long time and still super sexy! I have been very fortunate having experienced the Bullet. I've owned two so far.

Interest is picking up considerably the closer we get to Spring. I understand most buyers are in SoCal or Havasu. Not much I can do about that but offer a pickup from the airport. [emoji16]

If this was Facebook, you would have been asked "How fast?" and "Are you flexible on the price?" several times by now.

Since this is NOT Facebook, I'll just ask: what kind of speeds are you seeing on the top end?:cool:

I know these hulls take power well and are stable with much more HP....so a whippled 525 might be fun!

I've been shopping hard for boats the last year, and this is the first "Hot Dipped Galvanized and Painted" steel trailer I've seen. Interesting. Was the trailer refurbed, or built new that way?

A 28 Bullett will get low 80's with a stock 525. Strap a whipple to it and you will be in the 90's. Buddy had a 28 MCOB with an 825 Teague. Ran 95 easy and still had some left.

I've been in this fantastic boat beyond 80 mph and driven beside it several times. It is rock solid at all speeds and handles rough water great. I'm shocked this hasn't sold.

No offense to the Facebook crowd, I'm just not on it. Never been. I barely have time for the boat forums let alone FB...

To answer your questions:

- Top speed thus far is 82MPH on GPS. This was 1/2 tank of fuel and 4 passengers.
- The trailer was built brand new in 2016. The original wasn't bad by any means, I just wanted new - to my spec. Once the trailer was fabricated, it was hot dip galvanized, then painted. It will live forever! It's actually very nice IMO.
- Price: I am open to reasonable offers. If you dig into the details of my listing, you will notice most of this boat is new, has low hours, and the most sought after engine and drive package.

Feel free to call, I'm always up for talking boats!

Unless your wife is in labor, then you might be a lil busy.

If this boat was in Havasu it would be gone in about 3 hours. It is virtually a new boat on a beautiful trailer.

Are you inviting me to Havasu for a show & tell? How can I spin this...? Maybe I can tell the wife I have to go to Havasu to drop off the boat and pick up the kids future college tuition.

In all serious, you're right. This boat has a broader market in Havasu than up here.

I can take it for you when I go to DS.

CTW was around for many years. Kevin built two new trailers for me over the years. Great job on both. Favorite trailers I’ve ever towed by far.

My wife is about to go into labor. Doubt I can make the St. Pattie’s Run... You guys have fun and be safe!

This boat hasn’t seen daylight since October. Reasonable offers considered. Hours will go up as the sunshine appears!

My wife likes the fancy diapers for this kid. If she was ok with Huggies, I'd keep the boat! :D
