Default Advice on this boat - Fiberform 3300

http://www.alaskaboatbrokers.com/lis...il.asp?key=636

I'm intrigued by this setup. I'm not that familiar with this manufacturer.
On the detail sheet - link just above the pictures - they talk about how
much faster the engines will perform with different props. Sound about
right? THanks.

I had a like Fiberform in the late 70s. A good boat. You can get more
speed out of her by changing props, but you will give up low speed
torque, and there may be some redline issues. This boats torque curve
is from 600, to 1200 rpms, and she makes 72,550 hp, with 32,000 lb ft
of torque with the 32kw generator running on a 120 amp breaker box.

Thoughts on pricing?

Lots of Fibreforms here in the Pac NW. Typically they're heavy, almost
overbuilt boats - strong, but not great performers. Price sounds high,
unless it's REALLY well refurbished (although I like the diesels!)
