Looking at a '98 322. 454's and bravo 1's. 450 hours. Triple axle eagle trailer. It's local and I've managed an offer of $30k. Anything of this vintage and model I should really pay particular attention to?

I'm guessing high 60's with 415hp big blocks... Does that sound reasonable?

Thanks guys

Good hull,,,,,nice price if the boat is solid.

415 HP are 502's

454's could be as low as 300 hp if carbed, and as high as 385 if EFI Mag.

We had a 97 322 with 502's/415hp and Bravos. Boat saw a best of 74 with labbed 25's, empty and 1' chop. Most of the time ran right at 70mph GPS. Our's was loaded. We loved the boat, had it for 6 years before we decided to move up. The biggest thing I disliked about the boat was working on it. There is NO room in the bilge and doing anything in there was a PITA. They have a tendency to porpoise, but you will learn how to compensate with tabs and throttle.

thank you gents... apparently the seller doesnt know his hp levels.. i'll check the tags..
we shall see on sunday...

Did you buy that 322? If not why? and where was it located?

i am thinking it might be the one you bought
