Thanks for staying with me on this...:)
According to the site, it is still for sale. I will try to get by and look at it next week on my way back to East Tn. Decided to stay in KY a few extra days. I never did get any info back on actual hours. I'm still trying to digest burning 330 gallons of fuel in one season. I have not burned that much fuel in 3 seasons. Then again, my 3.0 Merc does pretty good on fuel consumption.
Your really only going to burn through the gas at WOT throttle which you don’t do a whole lot of. Either because the passengers aren’t comfortable going that fast or the water being to ruff.. At normal cruising it does pretty well..

Yes I know him and the boat very well :D. I will more than likely be moving to a dedicated wake boat. I just cleaned the hell out of the boat top to bottom, inside and out. Shot some video for the sale ad going over the boat real good with the GoPro. I plan to make a for sale post soon.
So are looking at maybe a Moomba or Scarab? Or just moving to the X series?
