A soft gust of wind would flip that at 52 in a second if you steer it to that speed.... Jon in NJ Many other boats and outboards in my boating history The Whaler is the one I like the best!!!

IF the buyer truly expects this boat to go the advertised 52 mph on the GPS and it doesn't, would he then have grounds for a lawsuit? Any lawyers in the house? Seems to me his ad is very misleading at best and a outright lie at worst. He claimed to have raced offhsore boats, so if this is true, he should know better. Or the boat actually does 52 mph and this is some sort of factory freak 40 yammy that has about 35 hp extra lol
