Time to sell the 222
Hey guys... I just bought a Formula F-242LS so it looks like it's time to let the Stinger go.
Any idea of what I should be asking for an '86 price-wise? The boat has a couple areas that need attention, but otherwise is in great shape. Good drivetrain, etc. I plan to take my electronics (GPS, stereo), but everything else will stay.
I was thinking maybe $6K?
Thoughts?
Thanks!
Tom

Engine:
350 w/Vortec heads,
GM LT4 Hot cam
Z06 beehive springs
Performer RPM Vortec
Holley 830 DP (DRC&I ... built for my 385 Brodix motor)
MSD ignition
GLM manifolds
SEI Alpha drive with 1.47 gears, drive shower, 21P Laser
The starboard stringer was repaired back in 2006 by a local guy here in Hampton Roads. I don't know the details of the repair other than the fact that guy did good work. I didn't own the boat then.
The boat does need some glass work right under the blower vent as well as a new rub rail. The previous owner had installed a ski tow eye in that spot and it pulled out (should have never been put there). The piece is back on the boat, but only temporarily. I haven't had it fixed yet.
The boat has been 77 on GPS with the 385 in it. Currently, it'll run about 62-63 depending on conditions. I have done nothing to really tune this motor (I'm sure it's jetted pretty fat, but it's safe) so with tuning it'll probably run mid to upper 60s. Maybe even 70.
The only reason for selling is due to the newer/bigger boat. I don't feel safe taking my kids on it (not enough seating, low freeboard), and needed more room. The Formula takes care of all that now.
