Liberator Rapid Craft Tornado with Mercury 300R

Description

2020 Mercury 300R installed last winter. Motor has under 30 hours and warranty is good until the end of 2023. options for the motor include cambered skeg, 20 inch shaft, 1.60 gears, standard midsection. If interested in the motor and controls I will separate for 24k. Boat with trailer for 12k.
This model is nearly identical to the modern liberator tunnel hull boats sold by Randy Corson new around 65k.
Fusion Marine head unit with built-in amplifier and pair of 8 in kicker speakers were just installed. Three bilge pumps all work. Battery replaced early this year. Dual axle trailer is in great shape. Because of the light weight of this boat, I'm able to pull it easily with my minivan. These boats will 300r motors easily hit 100-110 mph with the right prop. The stern drive prop I have is the wrong size but I'm still able to go over 80. Hydraulic steering mated to the cambered skeg means you can just set the wheel where you want it and it stays indefinitely.
Something to mention for those who've never experienced a tunnel hull boat; they ride incredibly smoothly over rough water. As someone who has had a few V bottoms, I was blown away to be able to run over 2 ft chop at over 50 mph and not have my back hurt.  The two tunnels that run under the boat narrow as they run aft which lifts the boat out of the water creating truly air ride suspension!
Some areas needing attention eventually;
There was a hot foot pedal with the previous motor setup and four bolts were drilled through the bottom of the boat but it is since been patched. The patch is very amateur however so we'll need to be redone eventually. There is some rash to the middle of the skeg from brushing up against a ramp at idle speed. Padding on the front seats is shot and they should be replaced. Rear bench is good. Dual 27 gallon aluminum fuel tanks. Port side tank leaked so I ran it dry. Aluminum tanks are repairable or you could swap it for a new one for around 2 to 300. There is a toggle switch on the dash to go between the tanks. Range is around 150 miles per tank at a modest cruise.
