    Anyone with personal knowledge of CA 2+2 listed on BBC?

    I spoke with the owner. He has only had it about a year. He bought it from Eufaula Lake, Oklahoma area.

    Anyone familiar with this particular boat. Only one picture for now and owner feels it is a solid 8 of 10 condition.

    This year motor was a lower rev limiter and 91 octane required, correct? What l/u would it have?

    Any other info or things I should consider?

    LOOONG trip or BIG transport costs from Cali to Alabama.

    Thanks.

    Get lots of pics so no surprises. Have him take it to a mechanic of your choosing to go over the boat. You pay the shop. As for the pics, I asked for a couple from crazy random spots just so I knew he had the boat and not just pics from somebody elses boat online.

    Yes on lower rev limit and 91 octane. Better be a sportmaster lower unless it blew and they stupidly put a tm on it. Definitely confirm that.

    Where was it advertised when he bought it? Might be able to find the old ad and see what it said since you dont seem to be getting much from him.

    If you drive out find a REALLY good friend willing to spend some serious time in a truck and make sure they can drive towing (made that mistake once dude couldn't tow) and make sure to use a crew cab truck so the passenger can sleep on the back seat.

    Me and a buddy drove to Zapata, Texas to pick up my Ally, it was 16 hours each way. What worked best for us was for one of us to drive while the other slept. We swapped out every 4 hours and only stopped for fuel.

    I would almost plan for a hotel in the middle. I took a parts motor to hydrotec to trade for hop up parts left early one morning.
    my neighbor was in for the ride and drive some. he drove about two hours out of 23 hour round trip
    I was struggling the last three back. small Nissan truck was not the best idea for comfort

    If you could drive to the Bay Area you can check mine out before you buy it. I bought mine sight unseen, never even seen an Ally in person and had it shipped from Florida here. PM if interested, I believe you're in Bakersfield right? If you make the trip to the Delta I'll be there Thursday - Sunday fishing the Snag Proof Open.
