    A great boat. If it is a 150 Ficht, just plan in replacing the motor soon. If it is a 150 Intruder, then it should last a long time. The only complaint about these boats seemed to be a weak transom. Kept inside and well cared for it should not be an issue though.

    I had an LS175 with an intruder 175 for about 15 years, being heavy was my only complaint.

    Also had an LS175. Great boats. Kevlar hull if I remember correctly. Intruders/Faststrikes are as solid as they come, albeit thirsty.

    Put a 6" plate and either a 25 Renegade or 26 Raker and it will run 68-70 mph

    We had that exact boat a few years back. Ours had a 150 Fast Strike on it turning a 25 renegade. It would run right at 60 with a 6" plate fully loaded. Its a fun boat to drive, and rides great.

    I had a 95, sold it in 03 and it probably had 1500 hrs on it. Great boat, not great on fuel.
