The price point on them are low. In other words, you're going to be waaaaaay more into a total restore on one than it'll be actually worth. Just my .02
Likely decribes thi boat, but it ha Bravos according to the sales rep.

Is it a twin or triple engine setup? If it's been sitting like that hanging off the back of the trailer for 9 years I'd check the hull out for a hook

Good point. It's triples, and has been on a lift of some kind, probably bunks, so...

Owner isn't likely to appreciate any offer I'd make him on this project.

Owner 'isn't' likely to appreciate any offer? Is that a typo? If not, why are you going to offer anything?

5500-6000 worth of engine work.... by whos estimate? Just my opinion, but i would double or triple any of those estimates. Also paint should be the last thing as what good is a beautiful paint job on a trailer. There is also a reason the revolutions werent a huge seller, its a love or hate design, same as the bubble boat. Unless you specifically want a unique boat and are prepared to invest in it and own it for a quite a while, i would steer clear of it.

Exactly, what does 5-6k do, that is 2k a motor. That doesn't cover much more then oil, plugs, cap rotor. Even doing it yourself. You may have enough left over to buy a case of beer.......alright maybe a 12 pack.
