IF I buy a Bullet it would mean a lot to me to have it turn key the way I want it. Updated dash, guages, bilge, and swim platform would make the sale for me.

Appreciate the feedback, was hoping I could let it go at a reasonable price & have room to do what they wanted. Kind of like buying a house...the 1st month your in the demolition starts. Took me all of about 3 hours to remove the compnets and much work ahead.

What is the absolute "Must Sell" bottom line on a boat like this???

Seems all the cigarette's selling are "drastically reduced" Must Sell boats........

I'm just wondering too??????
Offered the boat @ a steal to a few members here that sparked an intrest. At the point where I just want to get my $$ out of it and move on the the '88 I've owned "forever".
Market price on these boats mid 40's up pending what they need. Some may aggree/disaggree but the Bullett is a great boat. When it does go someday I'll sure be depressed about it.

The bullet is a great boat, I agree.

Opinions do differ and from what I can tell mid 40's isn't market value on an 89 bullet or the boat would have sold already.

Nada comes in at $34,850 - $42,000, for what ever that worth...

Take into consideration the updates the others on the thread are asking for................and what is a good price to sell it for???????

Just my unprofessional opinion......good luck selling

I'll be launching the boat real early Saturday and take some pics at the beach parking lot when nobody is around. Besides, I've got to stop & gas 'er up before the mad rush.
I forgot how many screws there was holding everything together. Much easier taking everything apart rather to tape up. Makes for a better job & rewarding once its together
Here's a pic of the trailer I finished a few weeks back. Used some stuff called rust bullet. Supposed be way better than por15. I can tell ya that it's sure tough to get off skin. I looked like the freakin tin man after I was done.
