Yes the old "pedal pusher" boat, has carbed 572's and #4 drives. Also has 5 bolsters with drop away seats which would be awesome for poker runs.

Thanks for the kind words Rob! I remember your boat, I think I have a picture of us tied up there

How much does a 33 PP with twin IO like the boat on Boattrader weigh dry?

The used prices have steadied and maybe even risen some in the past couple years. If only I could go back to 2010 when all the killer deals were around!!

AJ sell your 33 to Alliecat and buy the 38 in the classifieds: http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o58035-en.html

I love the 38 PP but the 42 Chief at 159K is also a lot of boat for the money as well!

If I had a serious buyer and a way to come up with the difference then I would in a heartbeat! Believe me the gears have been turning but I'm not refinancing my house to buy it lol (although its very tempting)

Ya the boat is about the perfect all around size for towing and still going on the great lakes... But really I think I need 750hp a side and scx's.... I know- never enough

The owner of the black 38 drove an identical 38 PP re-rigged with Merc 700's and NXT's and he said the boat was absolutely perfect! Boat was tapping the door on 100 mph and was still being dialed in. Boat is a one owner, navy hull/white deck (same idea as black boat but navy blue) with less than 200 hours. The factory 525/XR's had like 150 hours on them when it was re-rigged.

Black boat had 525's (they were brand new back in 2003/04) and a nice upgrade over the 500 efi.

I could do whipples and stage 3 bravos from all-american outdrive but still lookin at 30k right there... Not including probably gen X headers at that point... Just want to be over 100, hard to do in a straight Vee
