If I had the cash I would look myself but... same story different day. :traurig001:

I saw that one for sale there a week or two ago as well. For some reason it seems really familiar like it's been for sale for a long time.

Does anyone know more about it?

It was discussed on the SW AT forum a week or two ago. It was originally sold out of MD out of APMBoats.com; who are friends of Active Thunder. The boat was in the Washington DC and Annapolis Boat Shows of 2005 IIRC.

The paint REALLY suits the boat well, and with the 525EFI, it will turn mid 70s.

This one?

That poor boat looks 20 years old, not 3. What a shame. Just needs some TLC!

Definitely the same paint, and it appears the owners were in MD were I think it's repoed? Would be nice if the old thread mentioned the power, if it was a 525 it'd be even more likely.

It does look kinda dirty in the new pics, but the pics are pretty crummy.

Yep, one in the same.





Repo'd boats are not often received in very good condition. I know of a guy who completely stripped a 2 year old 26' Sonic, and sold the materials for scrap/recycled metal. Then he yanked the hull off the trailer into a field and sold the trailer. The bank never came and got what was left of the hull as retrieving it would have cost more than it was worth.

Assuming this one surveys well enough, what do you think would be the right price to make it worth a risk on a repo?

$69K is actually a really good price.

$60-65K depending on IF the hours are true (repo ad says 49 hours; needs to be checked with scan tool AND make sure the S/N of the ECU is right with the S/N of the engine/drive via Mercury), and the overall condition of the boat.

A full hull survey and engine assessment would also be needed. (Engine leak down, compression, and test run; also have the Bravo drained and checked for gear chips, and remove the top cap for upper inspection. I'd also suggest having a mechanic cut open the oil filter for inspection. Check the scan tool as well for time at what RPMs. 49 hours on the rev limiter, is a lot different than 20 hours at idle, 27 hours cruising, and 2 at high RPM)
