Probably gets a lot better mileage than my boat too!
I've been seeing them in the $200-$220K range, similar age with 525's and other N/A gas motors. I think the boat weighs about 13,400. They are outfitted REAL nice though, genny and other stuff for comfort.

He's claiming 2 MPG on another classified ad, that's just about unreal!

Now then, if I could just double my household income I would be able to get into something over 34 or so foot.

94 Freedom 235........I've been trying to figure out where it was made. Freedom bought the Mercedes molds, and was manufactured in Spokane, Wa. till 93 when they shut down. The only boat I've been able to find like mine was in Germany. The 94 seems to be kind of a gray area. If anyone has any info, please let me know. BTW, Wellcraft makes a darn good boat. One of my favorites.

I always want to go through this post everytime I see it, but it just depresses me since I don't have a boat yet - I just keep telling myself it will come....

Yeah I don't think there is anyone I really trust enough to do that with that doesn't already own a boat. Except family, but my brother isn't in a position to help with a payment and we live 2 hours apart. Once the truck gets paid off I will be in a better position to finance one myself.. it will probably not be brand new, but a couple years old...

I have to ask, whats with the "I have fake stacks"?

Well when I bought that boat and took it out the first time all the soot actually went under the cover and got all over the interior so I put a diverter on my truck and also have rear exiting pipe for when i pull the boat. Anyhow I was driven one day and had the rear exit on and some guy follows me to a gas station all worked up that I have fake stacks and proceded to tell how he dident like that so I tell people I have fake stacks you should see the looks strangers give me.

well guys, i told youll early on that i would post some pics up from this summer. i was scrolling thru hundreds of them when i came to the realization that not a single one would be appropriate. just about everyone of them has me highly intoxicated, 2 girls making out and more, topless shots, or me in the middle of a terrible dance move!

sorry youll but i let you down. i will make it my mission to take some PG pics before the summer is up...
