It was a good boat and was fully restored when I bought it with a new 2004 DF 250 for $10k on a trailer. It was an offer I couldn't refuse and certainly played well for me as a capable dive and family boat.

When I first took it home it had a full transom with a 30 inch bracket. It was fast but in my younger days of wave jumping I broke the bracket and ended up notching the transom and mounting the motor on a 10" jackplate. The handling of the boat greatly improved with the motor closer to the transom. It was a rare boat and I wish I would have kept it for a different project. Have never seen one since.
