It is stored in a completely enclosed garage and is professionally detailed on a regular basis. It has all the right goodies and is a lot of boat for the money. One of a kind Kevlar reinforced hull with extensive bottom blueprinting. Upgraded Mercury Racing HP 500 EFI has less than 75 hours since rebuild and dynoed 550HP. This combination gets better than 2 miles per gallon, even during poker runs! (I reset the trip odometer on the gps every time I fill up to verify this and to keep track of fuel remaining.) Less than 75 hours on Bravo XR with dual ram full hydraulic steering and HD Gimbal. Custom factory paint with airbrushed accents in good condition. Interior and full cabin also in good condition (no shoes allowed!). Lots more: 280 K-plane trim tabs, Garmin 188C Color GPS w/ fish finder, electric bolsters, drop-in carpet, custom chromed billet steering wheel, Sony CD w/ XM and upgraded speakers, several labbed props to choose from. Also includes custom-built powder-coated aluminum trailer with torsion axles, aluminum wheels, spare tire & wheel, 2 spare hubs, tool box, disc surge brakes, and LED lights. This is THE boat that set the F-1 kilo record in 2002 @ 83.95mph! This boat has proven that it is the fastest single of its size with stock power. Make me an offer!!!

Last Name: Vossberg Company Name: Company Website: Phone: 352-406-1351 Phone 2: City: Umatilla State: FL Year: 2002 Length: 29 Model: 290 VR1 E-mail: Click Here to E-Mail Seller Additional photos Handles great during poker runs... even when trimmed up "on the pad." The VR1 has a much lower center of gravity than the 290SC so you don't get the side-to-side rolling when on the pad.... makes for a noticably more stable ride for the passengers. This boat is CLEAN!! It has been used, but not abused. It gets washed after every use and is stored in an enclosed garage. This picture was taken 40 miles west of Key West after running down from Homestead the previous day- 190 miles from the boat ramp, by ourselves!! What a great way to spend a vacation. The trailer tows like a dream. It is easy to manuever in parking lots and boat ramps, my wife even backs it down the ramp! One of a kind paint job.... impossible to miss! After all... isn't a performance boat supposed to get attention?! Business end: Dual-ram full-hydraulic steering, 280K-planes, Bravo XR, integrated swim platform with ladder, retractable tie downs & LED lights on trailer. The 500EFI runs and sounds great. No expense has been spared on the running gear in this boat as I regularly make 150+ mile trips with no other boats. This package has never left me stranded and is easy to work on (shop manual included). Interior is in good shape and is quite comfortable. I have done poker runs with 6 people, but 4 is better. Custom billet steering wheel, Garmin GPS chartplotter with fish finder, Gaffrig/Livorsi gauges: RPM, speed, oil pres, oil temp, water temp, volts, fuel. Also has trim tab & outdrive position indicator, radio remote, depth finder, fire extenguisher indicator. The cabin may not have much headroom, but is plenty big enough for 4 people to get out of the weather when needed. Has a built in cabinet with sink and a porta potty for the ladys (which seems to be important to them when buying a boat, but they never seem to use later on!).
