I'd like to start out saying hi to everyone I'm new on the forum,
I have been Boating probably since 1993 on Lake Erie, I am looking at a boat it is a 32' 1988 Aero-tek (Yes the aero from Sarasota Florida) twin 454's,TRS drives, It has low hours it's mechanically sound and in good shape. But my question is I can't seem to find a value of what the boat is actually worth I was wondering if anybody could give me any more information.
Thanks....

No name boat? I would say it worth between 10-15k

Welcome aboard. The TRS drives are good, but the transmissions can be a weak point. It could have either the MercTrans or the Velvetdrive. The Velvetdrives are ok, but the MercTrans is weak and tough to get parts for. The use Ford A Matic clutches, but the gears are not available.
Good luck with the boat.

Agreed, but being a 1988 I doubt the trans are the old Merc/Ford,more than likely they are C72 plug in trans that are pretty reliable up to about 550 HP.

The Aerotek is a pretty decent old school boat. At 20 K that's a little strong, 15 K is a better bet IF it's running and in good shape. Buy it for fun, understanding that resale will be a challenge, I've owned 5 Cigarette's, a Coyote, and a Sanger drag hydro. I don't regret any of them, they've all been a blast and a great learning experience. Good luck!

all I can tell you about Aerotek is they were built down the road from my shop in Sarasota and a very good friend of mine worked there for a while, in fact his father was a manatee county deputy and was the one that served the warrent on Bob Zanine. Bob was notorious for robbing peter to pay paul and on more than one boat ran out of resin half way thru and bought the cheapest stuff he could find to finish the hull. not saying they are all bad but make sure and have a good surveyer look it over.

looks like an excalibur 31 not an aero-tek, All the aero-teks that i have ever seen / been on ,have a fairing not the windshield, and different feature lines on the deck.
