Just test drove a boat I'm buying from family friends. Bought new by them, stored in lake all summer since new with covers, winter storage/all maintenance by the same marina.
It topped out at 43mph GPS at 5000rpm on cluster tachometer (speedo reading only 35mph, tilt/trim gauge not working). I maybe could have played with tilt trim more I suppose but felt I was trimmed up, now I don't care if it goes faster just want to make sure this isn't a sign of an issue. Started great, idled/ran fine no matter what. Some gel coat surface cracks/sun fade and the radio doesn't work but it's a good deal from my area and a known entity.
Unsure of prop but I'm assuming it would be stock.
Last thing is that at rest the boat was ever so slightly tilted to the right based on the waterline (I'll post pics later). And there was water visible in the ski locker - any signs of issue?
