Well, you take a) straight bottom boat = small buyer market, b) big power and 6's = even smaller buyer market c) stagger, smaller cockpit = even smaller buyer market. These boats take a special buyer. Before we bought RWTD I'd gues there was maybe 5 people in the country (and that's being generous) that were actually interested in buying it. Not to mention (as you are painfully aware of) the purchase price is just the admission ticket. The real spending comes once you own it. LOL Not a lot of people down for that.

You told me that and I thought man this thing will never sell or take forever , theres only 5 people in the coutry that would want a Top gun .. Flat Deck has to be even less . I was making plans to leave at Performance after the Randevous..

I put the boat up for sale and 2 real buyers, full asking price and 8 hrs later the boat is sold.
lol

Count your blessings, you found the 1 buyer in the country that had to have a flat deck #6 boat. LOL. Just sayin. I know of 4 #6 guns that had been for sale for over a year. 3 are still for sale.

This boat also used to be super clean, well at least it was when I saw it in Key west a couple years ago. The owners of lock and load and this boat were good friends and I sold them a pair of 6's on extension boxes that I had.

That was a great thread watching them work on L&L and Zero Patience. They seemed to have a lot of fun doing both boats. That thing still looks super nice. Been for sale for a long time. I think the color(s) are the hold up there. Killer set up with the chiefs and dry 6's.

I would be content selling my boat and buying L&L... I really like that boat, tastefully done. Such a good boat for up here in Erie.

And way cheaper than converting my boat to 6s. Maybe I'll ask Phil what a trade plus $ looks like.....

pretty sure Phil won’t take a trade on it. But that would be awesome if you ended up with it. You and Tim could run em together.

although your boat is insanely nice. Overall nicer I’d say than L&L.

I’m glad you had a seamless sale brother. It worked out awesome. After watching 4 #6 guns sit for sale for well over a year for not too much more I guess I’m a little pessimistic about the ease of selling these boats and believe the buyer pool is very shallow. But whatever, I’ll keep ours until I die if need be. It’s all good. I did hear zero patience just recently sold too finally.

On a related note, we’re heading to havasu today and go run the boat and bring it back to Cali for the summer.
