It also had (2) 35 gallon tanks, so I literally filled it up once or twice a season. One of the best boats I've ever owned. I think I paid $12K for it. But the joker who sold it forgot to tell me the drive had bad gears. Didn't find out until I really drove it good. So that was $3000-3500. But we used the boat for 3-5 years then sold it for $16K. Great boats, but hard to find now.
I agree my 84 bahner 20.5 with volvo 350 144 blower big ol 290 outdrive was not the quality of my hallett, but it was the most fun, 65ish mph, a bullet out of the hole, and toss it around all you wanted and never brake loose with that big Ron hill elephant ear prop.
We'll my families 75 16' outboard with the first merc v6 200 on the west coast was a blast too.
