I'm 99% sure those drives are regular Bravo ones. Xr drives came out in 02 or 03 I think. If you buy it plan on keeping a spare drive on hand for non stop boating. Good thing is they can be had for low $$$$.
Still a great deal if you can get it done for mid 60's

I drove down there in early July of this year to look at this boat, and from what I seen it was not properly maintained. The interior was filthy, then when you rubbed your hand across the bow it was like rubbing your hand on a very dirty chalk board. The cable on the starboard K-plane for your indicators was broken. The oil filters read 04, stereo did not work, a bunch of loose dangling wires in the port storage area in the cabin. To me it looks like it has sat outside in the elements for a few years and nobody cared about it. The boat did have regular Bravo ones. This could have been a nice boat if it was properly cared for, but with the condition it is in, and the hours on this boat, it might bring $50,000 on a good day. I'm not trying to stir any trouble just giving the insight since I looked at it first hand. AND I WAS NOT HAPPY, BECAUSE I BURNED UP A WHOLE DAY TO GO LOOK AT A BOAT THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, THAT WAS NOT EVEN IN FAIR CONDITION.

Yep, I heard it's still sitting outside, ripped cover, rusty water coming out of the bilge drain, etc. It sounds like it's in bad shape. I believe there was another thread regarding this boat on here and on TBM.

Make them send you recent pictures, not the ones from when they first got the thing. I have found from previous experience of buying boats is to just show up, then you really see how they take care of it. But coming from that far away (Baton Rouge) is a long way to just show up. If you have a nice boat now you won't be happy with what your gonna see..
