Default A little help?

I have located a 2001 35' Flame fresh water only use with twin 500 EFI's. The boat seems in good condition with 190 hours on the motors and hull. the bravos were just gone through professionally. The owners asking price is $65,000.00, This seems like a good price to me but, I am not clued into the boat market like some of you guys out there are.... First question. Is this a good price? secondly, if not where should it need to be priced in the current market to be a "Buy"? Thanks!!!

Kevin

Your probably looking at the one on KSL. It's been on there for a long time. Seems like a good deal to me, but I'd have the top end gone through. My 500 EFI gave up at 300 hrs.

I had heard that the 500 EFI's had some valve spring issues... was that the nature of your problems with yours? If so what was the fix? FYI- That is the boat!! Thanks for your thoughts.

Looking at the NADA Boat guide it's only priced about $5K under low retail... I would think in this market that boats closer to wholesale would be the "Good Buys".
