Do y'all remember the guy who pulled his new R5 with a early 90's Road Master (I think) station wagon. This looks like his boat. Now I have to go find that post.

Oh, and I'm not an R5 owner, but for that money there's absolutely no way I would buy a base engine.

I found it. It's not the same boat. He has a 350 in his and no tower.

:D He posted that he towed it 750 miles to get it home and got 8 mpg out of the ole LT-1 with way over 200K miles on it.

Loce that roadmaster.

I say used but not that one. That advertisement has too many red flags for me.

I also don't have 100K clams to drop on a boat RN so it doesn't really matter... I mean... It's not a bunch of rocks and a pool in your backyard ;)

I'm questioning where you could buy a new 2020 R5 for $100k. Unless it had 300hp, no bimini, carpet, and no sales tax.
