the tough part is going to be finding the guy with $100k cash that is going to spend it on a boat that old, its as simple as that. dont forget also that most of us on here are truly enthusiast's. Most of the guys I know dont even want to know about it if it doesnt have 500's or 525's. Some people cant get it through there heads with boats that sometimes less is more. When you look at stuff sometimes a big power blower motor boat will bring less than a stock 525 boat cause the audience for a big power boat is so much smaller. Ill take the big power over stock though.

Gotta agree with 302 Sport. Both boats are beautiful rides.

Sign me up at that point, I'm ready to buy! 
True. I have to agree with you on the power thing too... I have no interest in 500's and only minimal interest with the 525's. I guess that works out well for you and I as buyers since it seems that's all everyone else wants.

It may not sell at the asking price, but he should sell for more than the majority of the others. If he were to sell it for $60 or $70k for some reason, the people with lesser Guns for sale may jump of a cliff even though that would be a unique sale to itself, & not what the entire market is.
Thoss guys dont have to jump on account of me.
There is some nice stright bottom bravo Top Guns out there and I hope that every one get the money they are asking.
IMO that will only help get the money that I am asking,I dont think a bravo boat and a #3 boat are apples to apples.
I dont expect to sell the boat to someone that is looking for 500s.

Noone could duplicate that boat for anywhere near that kind of money. It's truely a "one of a kind" and for that matter, you can name your price. Remember, you get what you pay for, and you're correct on that bravo Verses SSM's are'nt apples to apples. Could'nt give me a bravo boat with 525's. LMAO

I must say that it would not have happened without Phil Lipshults.
Mid 90's with the current set-up but has run in the upper 90's tuned up.

Thank you guys for all the complements. When I pull up somewhare new and no one has seen the boat i get so many complements. I never get tired of that. Those are the times that I say that I will never sell it. when I did the Miami to Key West runwe stoped a Gilberts and I was standing near the boat listining to some guys that owned some high end cats and they were complementing the boat, they did not know that I was the owner. What a great feeling.
