30 activator value
 

Any thoughts on what a 2005 30' activator w-525 xr drive is worth?
Custom paint and has a theft recovery title with a new H.I.N.

Well the asking price on the "new" 30's is/was $89k with 700 hp/IMCO drive. I suspect a used 30 with a 525 (w/XR and no ITS?) would be around the low 60's, high 50's. There was a real nice newer 27 where the asking price was around $50k (and sold for asking) with newer power (about 700 hp), so maybe use that as a gauge.

I love that 30 though.

45k tops 6 yrs old!Buy a new one!

Give us a call. We can work something out on a trade for a new one.

What's this boat look like

The boat was painted by xtreme bodyworks by Chris, basically the same color scheme as the talkin trash skater owned by Jimmy winters. Boat is currently in Suffolk county impound lot since December of 2009.

Are you going to buy your old boat back?
What's the auction starting price?

Depends on what they are asking for the boat, if I do not buy it they have to buy the trailer the boat sits on or deliver it back to me.

How do you know how it has fared over last two years?

Was it put away for a two year sleep properly?

boat was winterized, and thats about all i know. do not know if it has been kept inside or out, could be faded like dog**** if it has been sitting outside all of this time, probably a cabin and cockpit of mildew as well

I guess you have to take a look at it and go from there

When you go to sell it, these two items may cause you grief and a sale price you wont like.

Does anyone know where the boat is I would like to go by it today.

The boat is sitting at Suffolk county impound lot, has been since 2009, if you are local to that area and know the pd just ask anyone of them, they all know where it is.

So was this your 30ft that was seized and now you are trying to price it out to buy it back?

Yes, the boat was mine for 8 months before the authorities showed uo at my front door with a valid warrant and presented it to my wife while I was at work. Needless to say they took the boat, and trailer, that was dec. 2009. Now that the case may be ending I have been contacted to see what if any interest I have in the boat. Loved the boat, had a great time on what I thought was a legit 2008 activator. Well now we all know
It is in fact a stolen 2005 activator that was once all blue. I highly doubt
I will make any effort other than these posts to buy it back. To much drama that I do not need comes with that particular boat.:bsflag:

Did you at least get your money back on the original purchase?

So you unknowing bought a stolen boat. SUCKS.

yes, I unknowingly purchased what was presented to me as a 2008 activator with 62 hours on it. The authorities in suffolk county had already been watching the boat for some time when it suddenly disappeared from the OPA circuit. That is until I bought it, paid taxes on it in New Jersey, and registered it. They watched me for the entire time I owned the boat to be sure that I was not involved in what has been discussed in the Cardshark threads. The gentleman I purchased the boat from assured me that he had no idea it was stolen, and that at the end of the day he would do right by me and my family.
Well thats all well and good and reads like a fairy tale, when the F$$K is the end of the day? It has been going on for 3 years now, I can only hope that the justice system does the right thing, everyone who is charged hires a lawyer, everyone who is charged can be indicted, everyone who is indicted is allowed to read the discovery used to indict them.
after reading the discoveries you would think that those who are charged would do what they could to do right and reduce the amount of exposure they could make for themselves by going to a trial. In the end who knows what they will do or plea too.:bsflag:

What a crock of chit.

From who? It's technically the insurance companies if it was recovered after the first claim was paid out.

A new 30 Activator built from Mark is selling for over 120,000. The 90,000k orange one that sold was not built by Mark and was not brand new. If you were to have a new 30 Activator built now from the factory it would cost over 120,000. Ther are a few 30's that are a few years old that range from 70 to 90, but you wont get a new 2012 from the factory at that price.
I have a 2007 and mine is listed for $ 84,000 to give you an idea, there were only a handfull of 30's built by Mark( maybe 10) and maybe 5 by Angelo and his crew.

The activator sitting in the Suffolk impound lot should be available from amig INS. Co some time in march if mr. Winters case finally settles. His case is the only one left to release the boat. The D.A. Just faxed me a property release for the trailer it sits on, and they want me to pick it up. Apparently AMIG does not care about the vessel and that's why the D.A. Released it. I personally have no interest in that boat and want to put the whole situation it has caused for me and my family in the past. Someone should be able to pick that particular boat up cheap and either put back in p5 class or poker run it.

so when will this boat go up for auction or will u be selling it.

The boat will go up for sale from AMIG INS. Co. Seaun McGee was the watercraft specialist who is handling the case. I could post his number but until Jimmy winters figures out what he is going to do, or his case is dismissed the insurance co. Will not speak about the boat or numbers at this time. I think after 3 years and a whole lot of heart ache it was time for me to give up on that particular boat.

any one ever hear anything eles about this boat?

Boat was picked up and taken off trailer 2 weeks ago. Amig will be selling it. The trailer is mine and for sale for 3500.00$

did the insurance company take it back i guessing dont need a trailer sorry .. pretty crazy story i must say

Boat was transferred via private shipper to farmingdale n.j. For auction. When it left Suffolk county the drive and lower was their. When the auction house took pictures the drive and lower were there. Now the most recent pics show the drive and lower gone. Hmmm does the drama ever end with that boat?

where are the pics and info for auction.

Type in salvage direct for a search engine. Qsa broken toys/watercraft. Boat is not up for auction yet.

sucks its been sitting i called them they cant even say if it runs no drive no trailer paint looks like the sun got the best of it looks like the chrome is comming off the gauges ect

Only 16 hours left to bid on the activator. Price is at 30k and climbing. Whoever ends up with it, if u need a trailer contact me. I have no use for the trailer that boat was on. Happy bidding

The boat sold for $39,200

i felt like that was a lot for that boat no drive or steering rams no trailer etc maybe im wrong but my thought

39,300 and no drive or lower unit? Maybe they found the lower unit and drive from the hauler who took it, probably in a box like the gauges. If whoever bought the boat wants some pictures when it was pristine and had a dash pm me, I also have the touch screen GPS that belongs to that boat.

I was the high bidder on this boat but can’t come to an agreement with the auction. The drive is now confirmed to be gone. With unknown motor/header condition and the scratches and cut up dash the boat was almost worth 44k with fees. Without a drive no way. They are being shady about it. Some pictures have the drive and others don’t. Why they didn’t just list that in the add and pull the drive pics is just plain deceiving.

I am guessing the boat will be back up for auction again. To any future bidders make note that there is no drive with this boat and good luck.

This pore boat has a black cloud following it.

thats to bad,something definety is not right,save your money and call mark at rage he will find you one.
