Came across an 03 292 with 109 hours. It's got 6.2's in her with a LR Trailer. Their asking 84K, seems to be around the going average of 292's I've seen. 109 hours concerns me with no warrenty. Opinion's?

I'd pay mid to upper 60Ks at most. Most of the ones advertised in the 70s and 80s have been for sale for months, some were on the market back when I was looking in January/February. An '02 in New Jersey sold in the 50s without a trailer recently. With a survey 109 hours wouldn't bother me at all, I would consider that low hours for an '03.

Last fall I paid $61,500 for my 2003 with dual 6.2 MPI's, on a painted triple axle trailer. Boat had ~130 hours and was very clean, loaded with all options except Imron paint and Bimini.

It went on the market in Spring 2006 at an asking price of $90k, then price reduced a couple of times, and was at $69k when I made my offer and took it home.

IMO I got a great deal and probably would have paid the $69k if the owner was unwilling to negotiate, b/c the 292 is an awesome boat

If it's an 03 it should have remainder of the 5 year warranty if it is the original owner.Older boats can be transferred one time,06 and up can be transferred unlimited times.

Would not worry about the hours if they were taken care of 6.2 can run a long time I have 74 hrs on my 06.Its a great boat for its size and they are not real bad on fuel

Came across an 02 292 with 78 hours on Black 377 Scorpions. Their asking 83K, I feel it's a little much. 73k seems more appropriate?

The ones with Scorpions are tougher to predict, not many of them available so it drives the price up a pretty good bit. I didn't consider them since I didn't want to be stuck with 93 octane so I never watched the prices that close.

I assume you mean the blue Scorpions from Mercury Racing ?

NO, the ad reads Black Scorpions. Could be a typo though.

The black scorpions are tow (ski) sport engines.
