Cigarette 31 Bullet

[ElitePerformance]

What do you think about this? I'm considering it....but I have to check the real conditions:
http://www.extremeurope.com/index.ph...roducts_id=114

Translating from italian:

-2010 Bravo outdrive ( "re-new" or something like that, so I don't think that they're brand new)
-2008 2 x Magnum 383 MPI 350 hp (300hrs)
-Bam Marine valve exhaust (open/close)
-2008 full Graffrig gauges and controls
-2008 new elettric wiring
-2010 new batteries
-2008 new upholstery
-2010 Pitcher 31 propellers + other two (they don't specify the type)
-bimini top, stereo, tv
-they claim 60mph (clear water), 55mph on rough

The price is 72000 euro (97000 $), negotiable.

350 horses spins 31 pitchers ??
price is to high. and don´t forget the transfer-cost from italy to usa.

How much in American money? Not spinning 31P props with small blocks, and the boat should be faster in rough water.....

My '88 runs 62mph in chop with 454 mags. I would think with small blocks that it would run much slower. And it would definitely not be spinning 31's.

There are a couple in the classifieds now that look good. For almost 100K you could have a nice Gun???

The speed is very questionable with 350hp per side, also to spin 31's on a Bullet you would almost have to double that HP...

You could buy 2 bullets for that price.

I'de sell mine for a lot less than that.

For 72000 EU I'll deliver my Cafe, Trailer, And Truck anywhere in the US by March 1......

I would underline the fact that I'm italian, so the boat it's just around the corner ; ))
So, that propellers are too big for 2 x 350hp? they give another two propeller ( maybe smaller) so I can change it.....but, what would be the problem having too big propellers?
I would also say that here in europe prices of american boat are higher than in US.....just to give you an idea look at this: a '97 38 top gun for 130 000 euro (176 000 dollars). http://www.yachtbrokers.it/barca18339.htm
This boat is on sale since ages, because it's a little bit overpriced , but a top gun from middle 90's in europe usually costs around 135 000 dollars, more or less.
I want a boat UNDER 10mt (32,8ft), because here the boat longer than 10mt have to be registred, but sometimes some models can be registred "as" under 10mt, even if they are a little bit more.
Talking about price, this 35 cafè racer from '91, refitted in 2007, costs 108 000 dollars : http://www.mondialbroker.it/detail.taf?B=48638

I would seriously look into shipping costs from the US, add a few thousand for airfare and come over here, check out several and send it back home. You would probably save alot of money.
