    How do they run in Havasu? Do they do okay or are they under sized? What power and drive should I look for? The IMCO 4x4? or the SSM 6 and what power? 800 plus? Plus what is the best place to find a used one? I am looking for a pre-owned one. If you have one for sale you may send me a private message or e-mail me at truefriends22@juno.com
    Thank you for the input.

    all I can say is drive them all, and see what YOU like most. we had our 26 out this weekend in pretty rough water and was very impressed! Never pushed it for we had 7 people on board.. 3 being children. up on plane at 50-55 mph it was soaking up the CRAP water very well. Drive inboards and outboards to see what you prefer. After owning a twin outboard.... I'll never own a single motor high performance boat.
    bottom line, it comes down to your wants and WALLET

    This one is for sale and has a TCM800 carb its 95 and he is motivated
    Me personally, I would do outboards. I have no clue where i get that from, but Elim is also a great choice, it comes down to preferancehttp://***boat.com/forums/showthread.php?t=119319

    I like this boat but I spoke with him in private message and it is sold. He has someone that has the loan and already rode in it. Very nice looking boat, with a nice set up.

    Each has their perks...I suggest that you take test rides in each and decide. With a TCM 800 or equivalent, outdrives could be a problem, even with the 4x4. You will not find many, or even any with an SSM#6. It's a soft market right now, so it's possible to find quite a deal!

    That is a nice boat but I don't think I would want seating in the front like that I would buy a pontoon boat or production boat. I want something that is faster then boats I've had, so putting people in the front wouldn't be safe at a 100mph I wouldn't think? Plus it just looks bad, to me.

    Wow I have reieved a couple of e-mails on boats forsale this morning. Thank you, keep them coming. I think your right the market is slower/softer and from what I have seen there are some deals out there.

    I have another question about this boat. It said in one of the owners statements that he would keep the boat and sell it for more next year? Do these boats appreciate some how? Or would that just be banking on so many people loooking for boats at the begining of season that there would be a shortage and he could sell for more? I didn't understand that, never heard that before and these twin v's are new to me.
