Figured out how to post pics (Thanks Jigsaw) sooo here's afew

one more........

boat looks like it has been taken care of. 25k for the package is a good price. Have a survey done,that 25k could easily turn into 50k.

He claims there was a survey done in '04 or '05 and he's going to send it to me. He just replaced the engine stringers when he installed the new motors. I appreciate any other comments.

More pics and also what's been done recently...........Two new 425hp engines, Two engine couplers, Two Eddie Marine Crossover systems,
Two Sea pumps, Two high torque starter, Two marine alternators, New bilge pump, Two sets of new spark plug wires, Two Thunderbolt distributors and coils, Two exhaust manifold systems, Two High performance oil systems, Two new fuel pumps, Engine Mounts, New power steering ram, New gimbel bearings, One Bravo One Outdrive rebuilt, New anodes (magnesium), Pioneer Stereo System, New Control cables (throttle cables), New bottom paint, Drive unit pumps rebuilt, Two mirage props, and Many other miscellaneous items too numerous to list.

Cast iron block,forged steel crank,forged aluminum pistons,piston rings,hydraulic roller camshaft with .510”/.540” lift and 211/230 degree duration at .050”,single roller timing chain.cast rectangular port heads with118cc combustion chambers,2.19” intake /1.88” exhaust valves,valve springs,1.7:1 rocker arms,8” harmonic damper.All parts are performance parts.oil pans with windage tray price per engine block alone was 5500.00 per side.

Can ya tell I just learned how to post pics?

Looks like he poured a lot of money into it. However, the bottom paint would kill it for me and a huge portion of the performance boat-buying market.
You should always think resale when purchasing, and any offshore boat with bottom paint is going to be a hard sell to discriminating buyers. It also scrubs off valuable speed. I'd also look for a boat that didn't have to go through a stringer replacement.
If it were me, I'd keep looking.......

Educate me if you would (for I am truly a newbie) the bottom paint thing....people don't like it because????? I noticed in the water pic you don't really see the bottom that's painted and to be honest with you since I am new and this will be my first boat, is it really going to matter if it scrubs a little speed off? My guy says its been GPS'ed at 65...I'm really not looking to go 90 in my 1ST boat. Please explain..Thank you

My understanding is he painted the bottom so there would be less maintenance and I've noticed several in my search that have been painted.
