Well said and all true.

Is there a link to "links" boat, I would love to check it out, sounds incredible, but, I have to be honest, for the asking price Richanton's boat is probably the nicest I have seen in years, and WELL worth what the asking price was, like most people in this economy "If I had the money".................

Like I said, liquidator is for sale at 129k. Betchya 100-110k takes it home. I have seen it up close. Well maintained and nice boat with decent power (900 sc) and #6's. Can't argue with the facts. Sorry. The days of buying boats with 6's and big power for in or around 100k is here. Like it or not. Are there tons of them? No. But look around for a while and you will find deals. I know several people who did and scored great boats at this price point.

Not to mention the 99 with trip 1100 cobras with 6's for 147k (not apples to apples comparison but you get the idea) or the other stilleto with 850's for 114k.

To clearify, the Liquidator boat is in nowhere near the condition Ted's and Rich's boat are in, although the interior is fairly nice. I'm not going to publicly trash this boat, but there are some reasons why it never sold at the higher asking price. Also, FYI that boat does not have 900 SC's in it. It might be a good value for someone knowing it probably needs some money thrown at it, but it would take a lot to get it looking anything like the other two boats in question and it would take a hell of a lot to get it to run with Ted's boat! With that said, it's still a 42 at a decent price.

Also, please show me where the #6 boats (especially OL's) with big power and in reasonably nice condition are for $100k, especailly the one's that don't need a decent amount of money thrown into them... A fire sale might pop up every so often, but $100k is far from the norm!!!

there is a 37 with 850's for 114k. I am unaware of the condition but at that price you can spend 20-30k and still ahead of the game (price wise compared to the others posted).

i always get a kick out of owners who post there boats for sale, they dont sell and wonder why...either there is no market for it not wanted (due to age, length, look, hardware, etc) or its over priced. pick one. if a boat is marketable and priced to sell, it will. **its a buyers market, no one wants to realize it**

its hard to provide examples of 100k #6 boats as they are a rarity and pop up every now and again. i have seen a few every now and again that appear to be in descent shape. just my 0.02.
