why is this boat still for sale...
i've been looking at this one for quite a while now... i wonder why it is still for sale? does anyone know anything about it? is it the TRS drives that are holding it back?

Re: why is this boat still for sale...
Sean, for one... the pictures suck. Not even pics of the cockpit and helm.
And i guess the TRS's put some people off, but you personally know it really shouldn't.
Without seeing the actual condition, since the pics dont show it, I'd rather be in your Cafe.

Re: why is this boat still for sale...
I was looking for a Top Gun about 18 months ago and this was one I considered. I really wanted the Lucky Strike 1991 Top Gun and used it as a comparison for others.
My impression was this boat was overpriced.
No swim platform,old dash panel. prefered the flat railing vs tubular.
Actually liked the somewhat plain paint job. Couldn't sell my boat.
Another one I wonder about is the white and Blue gun that has been for sale at Dollar marine for a long time. It has 3a drives, no platform, cover girl cabin and 650 per side I think.

Re: why is this boat still for sale...
as a casual observer the first things I noticed are age, under-powered, TRS and price..

Re: why is this boat still for sale...
I think $90k for a 16 year old boat with TRS and no hydraulic steering is part of the problem. For a few more bucks, you can get into a really sweet ride. Not to mention the fact the premium fuel is already $3.20 and it's only April and insurance, if available, is outrageous as well. The oil companies and the insurance companies are pretty much taking the fun out of boating.

Re: why is this boat still for sale...
Bottom line... It's overpriced. You can get a better boat for less money. I feel like I did. 
Lower the price and it will sell.
Just my two-cents...
