He took a huge hit selling it but he said the lesson learned is that there is only one person who loves fast boats and that is the driver, not the passengers lol.

Yeah hauling ass is anything but a comfortable ride lol. You spend 80% of your time going as fast as a nice deck boat does. My grandpa acquired his via a similar situation. Guy bought it for himself as a retirement present for 80k in 91/2 ish. Was taking it to party cove on LOTO. Got caught by the wife with a 20 something he picked up back at the cabin. My grandpa bought it for 40 in Feb of 95. Definitely don't get into something like that to make money.
