Probably the best thing to do is search all the major classifieds. Here, powerboatlistings.com, boattrader.com, etc..power boat swap shop on Facebook can be handy also, a friend of mine bought a mid 90s 27 ft fountain with a 502 mpi for $23k which I thought was a good deal. I'm not sure what your experience level is with performance boats or how much time you have spent in or around them but Find a few that you might be interested in that are local to you and drive to see them. Every manufacturer built their boat for a slightly different purpose/ style. Here in the northeast there seems to be several checkmate, baja, fountain, formula, and a few Donzi. Find out which style you like most, that will help in that you won't end up buying a boat you won't be happy with.

But will consider others. I have a max budget of $30,000 something on the east coast will be better. Shipping from out west will cut into my budget. Send me a P.M with what you have.

Thanks Kirk

Hey this boat will work also just like the other 30 or so i think he private message you and ask if you would consider selling without power he already has a guy building a 500 merc but might consider it with motor in it if your lucky So what the hell talk about shipping it but first can you send pics YA lots of pics please MIGHT EVEN WANT TO BUY IT AND FLY DOWN TO TEXAS TO SEE IT SOUNDS GREAT Can you ship him the boat first then if he wants the motor if its 450 dollars less than the one some guy is building for a year now YOU can just ship the motor later OK HURRY THIS MIGHT BE THE YEAR

Florida is a snap he can swoop down from canada to texas then over to florida and I'm sure you got a lot of wiggle room on the price like 50 percent off worth a 2 week stroke session
