Hey mate they are one awsome boat. I actually new the fellow that brought them into Australia. He had that one plus 2 other smaller ones. One now is a guide boat on Cressbrook dam. They used to be guide boats for "Ranger Big Bass Tours". The fellow that owned them used to live right next door to cressbrook but i dont know now. I would love to own it though. See yas

Mmmm... be OK in the hands of a responsible owner...
just because you can doesn't mean you should.
100 mph is going to equal a whle lot of hurt for someone one day.
Like having a jet ski with rod holders

looks good though :)

my 2 cents worth

Brett now lives on an Island at Toogoom, just outside Hervey Bay.
The second boat went to Alf Stessl which he gave to his son.

Sharkbait - Yes you do get the prop

Thought Gundos rig only did around 82MPH. 100MPH for a Bass Boat is like a mystical figure they all try and achieve but not many do. Check out http://www.strokerboats.com/ to see some of the top end custom rigs that can crack the ton. $50G is probably allright money for Brett's rig. I know that first year he bought them in and was selling them at the boat show he was trying to get $100G for the big one.
