Clay,
I'll paint the dash but the gauges are out of budget. Just finished up painting the trailer & need to update some pics. Replaced all wheel bearings/seal/brakes/brake lines/brakes/wiring harness/lights ready to make a long trip.

I also have internal hydraullic helm steering I'll be installing as well. Nothing like latham/marine machine but a cut above the merc stuff.

Had it listed on boatradder for several months, ebay a few weeks back. It's listed somewhere on OSO but cant seem to find it.

Re: Opinions Needed
 

Dash & shifters painted white...Paint the grey Red...Check SS Comp for guages....Alot of people just cant see beyond flashy paint.And..Take better pics !..Pull it out in the sun with a nice background !...It all seems silly but...It sells ! What they call "Curb" appeal. Hope some of this helps ! That boat should have sold along time ago

Re: Opinions Needed
 

Birdog, I may just do that. When you say paint the grey red, do you mean the transom or the outer grey stripe ?

Re: Opinions Needed
 

I would do the stripe & transom....Mine was painted that way from Cig....Looked very good..Transom is still red....
Red = BLING !!! :D
Talk to Bob at SS if you decide to do guages, He will treat you right !!..Or...Just do White Dash & panel with red bezels ?
Fred can hook you up with Bezels...A little "Flash"

Re: Opinions Needed
 

May do just that, will call Bob as well. Seem's like the gauges will be time consuming to say the least. Not too bad of a price from what I see on the web site. How do them gauges hold up?
I never installed bezels but assuming the guages need to be removed ? If thats the case...hmmm.

Re: Opinions Needed
 

Bob will give you an education on guages...He did me.......
Time consumming marking every wire not hard tho....Spray your panel white...Bezels & guages & Ye-Haw ! :D
First Impression sells em everytime !! :D

cig1988...

You and I talked some about your boat too. The things mentioned above are what turned me away from being interested in the boat. Dunno, maybe it's just me, but I could justify mid 50s in price if things had been updated like a newer one.

IF I buy a Bullet it would mean a lot to me to have it turn key the way I want it. Updated dash, guages, bilge, and swim platform would make the sale for me.

Re: Opinions Needed
 

Well...............now I'm wondering what is market price on a 1988 454 bullet???????????????????? with the needed updates or without???

Some other bullets have sold recently, carter31 bought the mich bullet......what is the deal with these boats????

What is the absolute "Must Sell" bottom line on a boat like this???

Seems all the cigarette's selling are "drastically reduced" Must Sell boats........

I'm just wondering too??????
