Value of a 42' Baja Boss?
 

Saw this boat on ebay - gorgeous and probably too much for me. I have a good idea on pricing of 25-38' rigs, but this is a little out of the norm.

Here


Might be a maintenance nightmare with 3 s/c engines. But at low HP shouldnt be too bad. I wonder if this could be towed with a new F250 powerstroke?

Thanks

That boat has been on ebay for months now. $250 grand is probably what they want out of it. There is one at Big Thunder Marine on LOTO ;http://bigthundermarine.com/boat_vie....asp?boat_id=8
that has 30 hrs, HP500's and is a 2000 and no trailer. They want $229k for it.
Your f-250 don't have enough poop to do the job correctly. The boat is 14k empty, no trailer.

Beautiful Boat.

I have looked at it online and also the one up at Cumberland that Lake Cumberland Marine has on their site.

AWESOME boats. The cuddy is every bit as nice or nicer than any Black Thunder I have been on.

Just a slow boat. With 575's it might break 70 MPH.

As for the F250 "HELL NO" I would not tow it with my F-350 Dually. It requires a REAL truck like an F650 to really handle it safely.

Our 36 Outlaw drug the F-350 down the hill on the wet steep ramps of Cumberland last weekend.

Happy shopping.

Dock, that boat will break 70 with the 575's. I would guess 71 or mabey 71.5! Ha!

Thanks guys. I'm probably gonna stick with a 38' or so. Something I can trailer to the lake/river, but also keep @ the ocean.

The boat with trip 575SC's runs 75-76 according to Baja test before it left the factory. They only built 2 with 575sc's. It runs 74 with 525's.

Baja testing missed the boat on this one. My friend who just took delivery of these very boat the other day was running right 85 @ 4800. Original owner stated a mid 90's. All stock motors. He didn't want to open it up just yet.
