I'll talk to him again tomorrow. He reallly dosen't know what his boat is worth. He just bought 2 new SC900's and they are still in the box. so he's a little confused. I'll get somemore info for ya tomorrow.

ScalpTaker,

His boat is only worth what someone is willing to give for it. We all know how much something should be worth but, the fact is MONEYTALKS and you know the rest.:)

Battle,

I agree with you. Just hope that Wild buys something. Summer will be here soon.

Off to Miami I go!!

Scalp

ScalpTaker,

There are alot of pretty good deals right now. The reason is that some people would like to sell inorder to roll their money into something else. The deals are OK. But buying a $250,000.00 boat for a $100,000.00 is INSANE. It can be done if you want to devote your life to boat purchasing.

Wild,

I have been watching the 41's ever since reading the Apache/Name thread last summer. 41 footer's seem to bottom out at about $ 110k and they wil ALWAYS need work asa the universal description of a boat says, a hole into which you empty your wallet. Truth is what you need to look at is a 38 Top Gun. Many available for 75-85k. But you want an Apache and I understand as I do to. There are more 41's availble now than I have everseen indicating a buyers market. There is a 45 footer for $ 90k ex race boat- no head-1/2 cabin. Not as plush as a full pleasure 41. I say all this as free advice and worth every penny, but it's the market as I see it.

Good luck hunting and keep us informed.

Wannabe

Wannabe, I appreciate the advice, but I can not find and 38 Top Gun in that price range that are nice or have good power or drives, even 1990 38s are still in the low 100k range.

If I have to pick between a 1990 38 TG with 420s and TRS or a 1989 Apache with #3s and 800 hp, That is a no brainer for me. Others may disagree.

I am still on the hunt and weighing my options. (some need a trailer, all need paint, some need interior, etc.)

There is a guy in Canada who has a 41 with 900 HP Eikhards (hope I spelled that right) only 5 hous on motors & drives. The boat is like new I saw some pics of it this morning when I was in florida with Bob & Eric @ Apache. The interior is like new or might actually be new. It comes with a Myco Trailer. The guy is asking 125K for the boat. I think the guy got hurt or something and can't use the boat anymore.

Call bobby saccenti for more info.

Basically it is between the cheif and the one in canada.

It will come down to price.

Randy, sorry for the delay i am sending the info out today. Thank's Ike.
