I haven't found them to be noisy, except once in a while on plane when a wave hits the hull just right. I've run a 58' and a 62' quite a bit back in the day. They're wet boats and they don't ride great. Perhaps for a 1990 boat they rode OK. They also have a tendency to kind of fall off and on plane and the cruise speed bounces all over the map. No adjustable trim tabs so no way to adjust for that. Then there's the stupid fuel tank design......3 tanks centerline with a manual valve. Everything draws off of the center tank, but then if you want to drain the aft tank as much as possible into the center you have to be at hull speed, drain as much as possible after 15 minutes or more, go down and shut the valve.....otherwise when you pick it up on plane the fuel all rushes back to the aft (cockpit tank) and you're stern heavy, then to drain as much of the bow tank as possible you have to do the opposite. If you leave the valves open, on plane the boat gets stern heavy and at hull speed the boat gets very bow heavy. Then you had the sea chests, and the a/c sea water pump drew off of the port seachest, it would clog heavily with barnacles and was a royal pain in the rear to clean. The sliding door they put was another nightmare, there was nowhere to hold onto at sea. So running across the mezzanine deck or up the 2 cockpit steps, there was nothing to hold onto except the door handle itself.

I've heard this boat is in Long Island, NY.

James, I did run the Sweet Revenge many years ago. Mid 2000's I managed and ran that boat.
