Isn't that Reaper1's boat?
I personally like the bottom on those boats...a good compromise between speed and handling.
How are they? I havent heard to much about the rigging...there priced right for what they are...I was looking at this beast...older models go for a bit less..this one is going for $70,000.00 and hits 100mph+ :220v:

what do you mean the company has problems?? with the rigging, wty, or just financially??

Lets just say that they've gone through a couple owners over the past few years. The words "jailtime" and "fraud" are never good in the boat business...
As for the boats themselves, I believe they used the old Talon bottoms (very proven hull)...with no issues on the boats themselves.
I tested one of the deck boats last year; basically an exact copy of a Conquest layout. No problems with the boat, it just they weren't too easy to deal with. For example, no paint in gel - had to go with decals. Only white; Built in Texas. I've seen a couple of them at Havasu -both for sale...
I would buy it in a heartbeat. Nice boat. Here's a pic of mine I sold last summer because I'm going offshore V. I've not been in a better riding, handling cat yet for it's size. As for company issues, thier selling as many deck boats now as they sold 2600's a few years ago. The trend is that way I guess. Mine had 700hp and went a little over 100mph in middle of summer. I tell you if I was buying a cat I would be all over that boat.
