What would it cost to finish?

(Something that would be a dependable, not to loud, bullet-proof, weekend cruiser. Maybe even pull a skier once in a while.)

Thanks ahead of time!

I would put a couple of outboards on it if it were me. The boat can be rigged w/ IO or Outboards.

THEJOKER,

What size outboards?

Twin Merc 300xs outboards on a bracket with hydraulic jackplates?

I would recommend getting the factory to install interior,then cost of rigging depends on how exotict rigging job you are looking for,hydraulic steering? k-planes? indicators?lab prop? quality of gauges and controls,just like building a house the options start adding up.I do have a low hour(130hr) complete merc 500efi,merc its and xr sportmaster package that would make a great,reliable package for that boat,would make someone a great deal to install and rig complete boat,would make a nice boat that should run 80 or so and be extremely reliable.Dave 410-956-5381

Rick Turmel or Tyler Crockett would be my choice for rigging. There are many other qualified people on this board that do great work though. We can handle seats , interior or anything else you need. The MDG Perf 500 efi would be a great pkg. Miklos set the kilo record in 1998 in a 26 at 83 mph w/ a 500 Merc carb.

Just looking at the ad in the classifieds, do I understand it correctly? The 26' no power is $22,000 and the 28' no power is $48,000. It just seems like the 26' is a MUCH better deal unless the 28 is wwaayyyyy more boat. Just wondering.....

DirtyMoney

It is alot more boat. Wider beam, more freeboard, cabin, and bad a$$.

Sorta like the difference between a 24' Pantera and a 28' Pantera??

And by the way, whatcha planning on doing with those "Apache molds" listed under your name? hehe

The 28 Joker is a big deep boat...unbelievable rough water boat.
