Default 2004 29' Fever - Any information on this boat?



I put a downpayment on this boat. Before I complete the transaction, anyone have any information on this particular 29 located near Harrisburg, PA?

Thanks.

Don't know the boat but I hope you did not pay anywhere near the asking price.You can almost buy a 35 EX for that

Looks like a nice boat, I don't think the price is off, has a 525efi that boat will move out.
Let me know where you can buy a 35 for that, a 35 is going to run allot more and the 29 will be just as fast if not faster.

Actual price is less than listed. Also taking my 22' Scarab in trade which is convenient for me.

Some 35s can be had for money not too far off from this. Not sure if I want one though given my lagoon isn't the deepest, maintenance now for two engines - not one, etc. Plus my truck only tows 7K lbs. which is still a stretch with the 29.

Nice boat, but it does seem a little expensive to me for a 29.

that list price is about right with a 525. Any other engine and take 10k off. Seems that 525-powered 29's are not that abundant either right now.

That dealer offered me that boat back in February/March for ALOT less than the price listed now. Was listed for $79,900 for a long time, not that that really matters now. He took it off the market for a while because someone put a deposit on it, and then never went through with the purchase. Can't remember specifically why, but I decided to pass on going to look at it. Matthew Smith sold a freshwater 2003 or 2004 with 575 SCI with really low hours on it, on a painted Myco trailer, not to long ago, for $69K. There was an 05 with tear away flag graphics on a myco in TX, with really low hour 525 EFI, that just sold too, with asking price in the mid/upper 70's. Don't know what it ended up selling for. I'm not a big fan of the patriot graphics and I think they are a harder to re-sell, from what I have seen. Just my opinion, though.

Bob, tear away graphics are preferred over the patriot version. No more tear aways around though that I can find. The 2005 you mentioned did sell for a good price and runs 81 mph on the gps. Dealer seriously laments on the other deal falling through. Supposedly the agreed upon price was in the 80s. The ill-fated deal may have given the dealer a false sense that the boat should bring bigger money now. I don't think he's checked to see what the Dow has done recently. If you think of anything that you'd like to share about the boat offline, please email me at [email protected]. Thanks.

Im the one who bought the texas boat with a 525 /xr drive with 41 hours & got it for 70k delivered .And its an 05 and the graphics look nothing like that . The tear away graphics I think look decent / better than the cyclone . I'll post up a few pics tomorrow .


Looking @ your pics they are virtually the same boat . Does the steering (hyd) go all the way to the helm ? I already removed the cabinet & removed the cooler and put a solid top on it . I thought the cabinet looked kinda N*g*erly if you know what I mean .

There is a really nice 29 on craigs list in Cincinnati for less then half the money that is very clean. It is a a little older but a very clean boat.
