I have one here in the middle of Kansas, bought it in June 2006. It is a 1991 2200 Cuddy 570 Volvo Penta 290 DuoProp.
The exterior is dull, but this one runs great. I tuned it up and rebuilt the carb and put on new filters and belts last year. This year I put new B5 props on, the old B7's were in terrible condition. Hits 47+ at 4600rpm by the speedo, last year with the old nasty B7 props 42 was about it. We do mostly watersports towing and light cruising on small lakes so the B5's are perfect. Lots of low-end grunt, and perfect cruising at 35 mph at about 3500rpm. This year I put on drive bellows, ujoints, outdrive raw water intake neck and hose, impeller, thermostat, and installed an after market water temp gauge as I did not trust the stock one. Temp is steady, and the engine and props are smooth running. Planes fast, turns flatter than flat at speed. Great boats.
I found this one thru iboats....it was at the Lake Perry Yacht and Marina in Perry, Kansas, kind of between Topeka and Lawrence. Very good people to deal with, up front with the condition and they did make sure it was seaworthy. Good price, but lots of work needed on the interior. The cabin was in ok condition, but the folding seats were unusable, the boxes fell apart so bad I could hardly find a place to hold them and lift them out of the boat! I mounted 4 Recaro buckets on plastic boxes back to back, imitating the foldout seat arrangement. I had to reinforce the engine box. I also reinforced the bottom of the jump seats with the plasic deck "wood". Pretty solid and comfortable now. I found a convertible top on ebay for $20! We really enjoy that add-on. With this style of top I can leave it up while cruising at any speed, it makes lot of difference for the sun-sensitive driver (me!) out on the lake.
