I would say $25,000-$27,500. Based on the pics, it looks like fantastic. It's a buyers market when there is a lot of similar boats If your looking for something that is hard to find, the seller has more leverage. If it looks that good in person with a good survey by someone who specializes in these boats, not sure you'll find one much better. I would recommend if you could find a 29' your happy with, definitely go that route because of the little extra room, faster and resale. Searching for a new boat is a great feeling, good luck!

I have a buddy that rebuilds older Cigs as a hobby. He uses a different bank than I do with the same results. No issues.

This is fairly consistent with the performance I saw with my 99 29 Fever with a 525SC. We swapped out the pulley for a smaller one and put on an IMCO -2 shorty and would touch 80mph with a 30P bravo (not a good everyday prop though). My only issues with the 525SC are that it does not have a lot of low end torque and the pulley shaft on the blower is a weak link (broke mine twice). Other than that, it was a good but thirsty motor.
