That's a 496HO/B1X with stock steering and Bennett/Quick-trim tabs that you are quoting right?

This boat has a 525EFI/XR with external MM hydraulic steering and K-Planes. There is a lot more boat to a 28AT than a 26Outlaw. I see your point, but the boats are in different classes. The no longer made 25AT would compare to the 25/26 Outlaws.

Agreed, maybe not a good comparison, but here is a very good one

So same everything and a very nice trailer included, from a dealer for only 6K more??

I stand by my opinion, repo with a "Who Knows" history for 69K is no deal.

But hey we all have opinions, I remember when you thought Sonic was the best boat in the world

Sorry I missed you at SML, I was running the VA Beach Run.

I know that boat well. Its a year older with 230 hours, and was traded in for a new 33AT, and the guy who just bought that boat traded in a 25AT for it. Both deals were done through our Factory Rep. in New York.

I wish everyone would quit posting these boats before I've got everything together to get serious. These two were towards the top of my list if I can't get cat insurance.

It looks like someone might be seeking a surveyor for this one in the general discussion area.

I think the problem is people hear the word repo & just want a he11 of a deal & I don't blame them. I have been on the recieving end of bank repos & I can tell you, you wouldn't believe the things people will do when they know the bank is coming for their boat.

It reminds me of the stories of all the scumbags defaulting on their mortgage and trashing the place and gutting everything valuable. A neighbor of mine did it and every bit of respect flew out the window.

No wonder repo-men have to be sneaky and not let anyone know they'recoming with the way people are.

My point exactly, we have purchased repo boats and cars and it is a gamble at best what you are getting!!!!!!! A few years ago we looked at a repo Cabin cruiser at the bank in "great shape, low hours" drove to FL, yea F%^&#$%^ boat had been sunk in salt. Oh and you think the bank will tell you that, they will default to "were a bank we don't have any idea, sold as is"


I am not picking on this AT, just making a point with any repo boat, I have a theft recovery at my shop right now guy thought he got a hell of a deal, well now he is buying all new power and it doesn't look so good!!!!!

Buy it Rob.....

I sold mine for about the same price and it was well cared for. At 69k you can wait and spend about the same and have no worries...$40k would be my initial offer. I had a 26 Sonic by me asking 40k and my offer on it and it was a repo was 25k and they laughed at me I think it was finally bought for low 20's lower than my offer, but it was dirty had a small hole in it's side and the top was faded be careful of repo's

Offer should be contingent upon test ride....if they don't agree, the deal is off the table....55k is a very fair, middle-ground first offer. In great shape it's worth 70k, but I'm a little biased when it comes to AT's.....
