Posting for a friend who's up in Richland WA ... :cool:

22' Daytona, all Carbon Fiber layup ... purchased boat and trailer then worked with Paul Walner (Bullhead Bully) on final rigging. Less than 50hrs total ... 120MPH on GPS asking $89,500 obo.

From the seller:

I purchased the new 300xs 20" Offshores in September 2009. Engines have less than 50 hours on them, no issues no alarms. The SportMasters have the upgrades. I change the gear case oil every weekend I used the boat. I only run 50% 100LL Av Gas mixed with 50% pump premium.

The trailer is triple axle with a ladder in front and platform in back. Maybe 2000mi on the trailer since it's just 5 miles to the Colombia River where we boat.

I have the factory Bimini, Vessel View Race Edition, Livorsi gauges, Mike Nass Alien Cowls with carbon fiber plenums, incontrol foot throttle, bluetooth stereo, Lithium starter batteries, with Optmi house battery.

The power switches all have LED bezels that light up when on. The bilge is lined in Aluminum, I hate mounting equipment to wood.

We love the boat, but we don't get to use it much. I travel with work way too much. The only thing didn't figure out are the Livorsi analog tachs, other than that there are no issues with the boat, always stored inside.

Me likey, and its in my hood.

How do these handle rough water? He's running it on the Columbia which is sloppy at times, so it must be decent?

There was a blue one like this that would run Havasu and they gorge. They would fly by most people is pretty sloppy water.

Garage will take 28ft. Would take some trailer mods to make it work. Also not sure about the tri axle trailer setup. I know thats popular west coast. Probably not in the cards. Really nice boat and setup!!! GLWS!

Always looking, BUT I have an agreement with past owner to give him 1st right of refusal IF I do.
I currently use 2 boats (23ft bowrider) for our family needs. Trying to figure out if the speed, and family needs have to stay apart, or if there is a 1 boat solution

Hard to fit a family (with 3 grandkids) in the Argo!

Not into open deck boats. We have boating into the evenings (bars - restaraunts), fall and early spring that we need to be able to get out of the wind/cooler weather to enjoy boating to the max. Keep the bowrider on a lift behind the house so its ready whenever opportunity calls. We can close the front access off in it

Nope runs great on pump gas, two reasons for the av gas. 1. I have a hanger at the local airport and 100LL is $4.58/gallon, 92 octane no lead ethanol free pump gas is $4.34/gallon 2. Aviation fuel is so clean. I have used it for decades on motorcycles, lawn mowers, etc, every time I have disassembled a motor that has been run on av. gas they are clean on the inside.

I purchased the 300xs brand new for a Motion 25 I had, only used them for just over 20 hours and sold the boat, but kept the motors. I had three boats at the time. I love the 300xs so I didn't want to get rid of them.
