Did I Get A Killer Deal?
 

1996 302/OS paid $19,250 w/ 2009 Aluminum 3 Axle trailer, surge brakes.

Compression test done 454 MPI's 160's (1), 170's (2), full survey done issues below.

In addition to the options in the link below the boat has pop up cleats, shore power, new batteries, flush out potty, 271 total hrs. on hull and 1 engine, 30 hrs on the other.

It needs, horn inop, 4 engine tab solenoids, trim tabs. inop., 12v bilge pump & float switch, Refrigerator, rear seat structure is soft/vinyl good, headliner is stained (replacing), cabin carpet is stained (replacing).

Other than the vinyl work I get all the parts at cost incl. fridge and a buddy who is a boat mechanic by trade and I do all our own work. Even at retail look like $5k worth of work.

Doesn't matter what we think. You already bought it and seem happy with it. Follow your plan and enjoy the boat.


BTW. The 454 mpi's were 310hp if it matters.

Fix the leaks that prob disturbed the old liner , if your pulling it out , .vortec mpi's arent barn burners but start good use a bit less gas than contemporary carb sub 20k twins , just dont let em freeze.

Seal the bench to the floor and toss in a drain if its not already there then seal the seat if subs are there will sound worlds better ,alot easier when its apart. Sounds like alot of boat for 20k

It kinda does to me as being a 1st time boat owner I'd like to know what the more educated on the subject feel. The engines should push it into the 60's which for the majority of the use being river and intracoastal will be plenty.

S. Florida, no freeze issues, thanks!

Drain in the cockpit floor or under the seat? Thanks

congrats, pictures of the boat please

It depends, we need him to clarify. 454 mpi is 310, 454 mag mpi is 385

Let's see some pics

How do I tell the difference?

The boat will not be in my possession for 2 more weeks. Its going directly to the upholstery shop 150 miles away to get freshened up.

7.4 MPI 310 hp
