You don’t hang around the marina very much do you. With a boat like this, the “headlights” are in the cabin

It has already been discussed with the owner IF this is the same boat I am aware of (location is similar). Last discussion with mechanic was a fresh rebuilt S4 engine was going in to it (3-4 months ago).

Regardless, the price is outrageous.. BUT, if I was a billionaire I would buy it in a heart beat.

I guess mariine hours aren't the same as land hours, but even so I doubt it has anywhere near 5000 hours which is what most 20 year old 928's would have.

Here is some photos that could be the same boat (not sure when these were taken. Judging from the size, shape and lightweight construction (and lack of appointnents) I have no doubt it will do 70mph.

Right here! Right here dammit!

You can go ahead and start a collection. I'll contribute the dock in Fort Lauderdale, complete with OCEAN ACCESS for the keeping of the official Rennlist boat. It is located about 25 miles from me up in Boca- I'll even pick it up!

Trust me...I'll keep it really clean for y'all!

N!

Pretty wild. In the ebay pics it looks like a long sleek race boat. In DR's pic's, it looks more like a, well, it sure as heck DON'T look like a half a million bucks. Maybe the guys in the ebay pic are midgets?
