Not impressed...
 
With the amount of A/T's for sale in the classifieds!:whistle: Where did they go? Only 2 right now!

Would like to hear or know about some Pat built 28's or 32's. Mainly looking for 32's. Either way where they hiding?

Craney 05-11-2014 11:32 AM

There's a Nice 32 on e-bay.

drivrswntd 05-11-2014 01:08 PM

Yup that 32 on eBay is a nice grab!

If one came along at the right price, I would be ready to buy. I completely understand what you are saying about people kicking tires. I was testing the waters to see what's out there or what "could" be?

It was also a joke to get people excited about a thread titled "not impressed"...thought Mother's Day would be slow, so was trying to add some excitement.

In all seriousness though...I would be interested in a "clean" savage with no power or "clean" '98 or newer 32 with center entry cabin and turn key power...preferably 500efi and I would prefer a 32 over 28 (thanks Brian) and to have mine sold before I buy, so if anyone is looking to move at the end of the year or for next season, I could be your guy. If the price is right though, I could be ready to buy before mine is gone.

Sick Stinger 05-11-2014 05:53 PM

Please don't take this the wrong way but when some one says "At the rite price" they are looking for a low ball price and don't want to pay a fare value for the boat. Heard it so many times I'm sure RS knows the drill

rssteiny 05-11-2014 05:55 PM

Side entry cabin make;s for more cabin room and cockpit room just my 2 cents. 32 and 28 are not comparable 32 all the way much bigger and twin power is pricless. The 28 is awsome boat but 32 is a much bigger and more stable ride by far. Good luck with whatever you get, but stay with a thunder!!

rssteiny 05-11-2014 05:58 PM

Yes stinger we all hear that but i wont even think about giving mine away it would take every penny its worth to me to even think about selling.

DRP 05-11-2014 06:13 PM

Sick, I know what your saying, I was saying right now it would have to be the right price/low because I still have mine. In defense though, a lot of people (in general) say clean and it's far from it.

RS, I wouldn't give audacity away either! It's an awesome boat!!! For me though, a center entry is just more what I need.

Thanks guys!

Sunrocket24 05-11-2014 06:28 PM

The 32 on Ebay is a ridiculous low price. You could buy it and sell the current power. Then buy some nice low hour 500 EFI's that you want and still have extra cash in your hand.

Griff 05-12-2014 02:09 AM

I've had a half dozen people tell me they would buy my 32 if their boat was sold. I'm still waiting:boat:

I won't do any serious shopping until mine is sold.......probably:D

I kept saying I wouldnt buy until mine was sold, but I changed my mind last week.. Lol.. I close on the upgrade this weekend :D Then back to trying to get the Tantrum sold

rssteiny 05-12-2014 08:23 AM

Sweet what are you getting!!

I was ready to buy. I had been looking for a used 30-33 boat for a while but couldn't find available what I wanted at the time. Let's not get started on why center entry is better than side... Clean, turnkey, reliable, updated, etc, so I ended up building.

Just picked up a 31' Cigarette Bullet. I'll have some pics up in the Cig forum after I close next week. Took care of the bank stuff and securing my lift at the marina this past weekend. I've been working with the seller since last summer and has been a great guy to deal with. Ended up making a good friend out of it actually.. He lives right down the road and the boat is pristine.

Gordo 05-12-2014 01:50 PM

Why are there no Active Thunders for sale?

Because once you own one, you don't want to let it go.

That is why I'm looking and looking early to hopefully find the perfect one for me because I can't ever see getting rid of it after I find one. I sometimes every once in a while have too much to drink and find myself looking at different brands...but then I sober up and I'm right back at A/T!

Like when you have too much to drink you start looking at fat chick's...then when you sober up, WTF was I thinking. .lol

Pwraddr 05-12-2014 06:50 PM

I was in the same position of looking for a 37, although I never posted. I just looked until I found one I liked and bought.......and yea, my Powerquest is still for sale.

People know when you are serious and typically they treat you the same. It is best for both parties to get a deal together.

Maybe you should get into why a center entry is better so Remedy gets it just once more! :party-smiley-004:

katywompus 05-12-2014 08:54 PM

When I was looking 2 years ago for a 32 or 37, there was nothing available that I liked in my price range (under 100K.) I was very interested in Audacity, but he wasn't willing to sell at that time. Wound up getting a Formula instead (probably should have waited) :lolhit:

Don't feel bad. He wouldn't sell Audacity to me either before I bought my current 32:lolhit:

Know this feeling all too well. All the key words come out that scream bs come out when talking to someone that isn't serious. Thats why I jumped on what I just did. No telling when that 1 real buyer will come pick up what you are selling.

rssteiny 05-13-2014 04:02 PM

Problem was there was no 37 i wanted when i had buyers, That is the biggest problem trying to sell and get what you want all at once. Unless your willing to have 2 boats or no boats it is why most cant sell or buy.

Exactly! That is why I was trying to test the waters to see if anything "may" be coming available? I don't mind not having a boat for a year but any longer and I may go off the deep end and order a 33 that I can't afford. I'm sure that a certain Florida person would be happy to oblige.

I just wanted to know that if I sold mine that I could find a 32A/T so I wouldn't have to buy a 32 sunny or fountain:bong:

There will always be something that can be bought. How "right" the price is to you will be the real factor.
Don't expect to get a firesale deal on something that is not listed for sale or just got listed. That does not mean you can't find a nice boat at a reasonable price.

Well you would say that since you are stuck with a center entry. Maybe someday you will sober up!

1980Condor460 05-20-2014 04:18 PM

Mine will more then likely go on the market next week..... new interior, gauges, stereo, flooring and carpet is being made. Probably shouldn't post pics until it is listed.

rssteiny 05-20-2014 06:22 PM

What year and what power.

1980Condor460 05-20-2014 07:22 PM

1999 Brad Smith 555's. 620 a side.

rssteiny 05-21-2014 07:22 AM

What kind of top end are you getting.

1980Condor460 05-21-2014 07:26 AM

Mid 80 ' s with some bastardized 31 ' s that cane with the boat (ton of slip). I will be trying out the brand spanking new bone stock 32 's this weekend.

rssteiny 05-21-2014 09:28 AM
