38' Cig, Why hasn't it sold ??
 

38' Flat Deck Cig

I realize it's older, but it's one of the cleanest ones on here, not to mention some nice Hardware.

So what's the boat worth in todays market?

i think you should add a picture of the full boat... :cool:

Re: 38' Cig, Why hasn't it sold ??
 

I agree.

Re: 38' Cig, Why hasn't it sold ??
 

I like it but I know my bank wouldn't lend on it... they cut people off on a boat that is older than 15 years...


Good luck its nice...

Its easier to get F&I on newer boats .you need a guy with cash :(

Re: 38' Cig, Why hasn't it sold ??
 

So what's it worth then? $$$$$$$$$$

I realize there's newer boats, but obviously for it's age someone was very passionate about it and the way they took care of it and maintained it.

Lot to be said for that, it's hard to find boats that have been taken care.

This is just my opinion, but I don't like it. The sundeck is totally non-functional for laying out. The black dash looks dated. And, I really don't like the exhaust.

Sorry...

I had a reatoration myself on an older cig. The age in my opinion is not a problem. Some 7 year old boats are junk from neglect. It's all about the condition it is in now. Just hold out for the right buyer. The question on financing is not a big deal. Most people that buy a boat like yours have good relationships with their bank or will pay cash. The cheapest thing about your boat is buying it. If you can't affoard to buy it then you sure as hell can't affoard to have fun with it. I suggest trading it in. That's what I'm doing with mine. Saves the headache and frustration of potential buyers. My boat...

Just my 2 cents...

It's not my boat :D

I'm just curious why it hasn't sold, cause it looks perfect.
And That's also why I ask What the OSO people feel it's truly worth?



Thanks

Very nice boat, the total power and drive replacement cost alone is well over 100k.
You really need to find the right cash buyer or trade her to a large dealer that can put your big power and or drives into another rig that they can blow right out.
Just like my 97 that I am giving away compared to other comparable rigs with over 200k invested all my perspective buyers are trying to finance as well!
I think in this market with all the new stuff currently on the auction block, it 's going to take extra patients to find that solid buyer.
Good Luck!

the boat is super clean, the dash looks dated in black, he had #3a's on it and had #5's also. he was thinking of parting it out last i heard, i think he sold the #3a's and installed the #5's.

Re: 38' Cig, Why hasn't it sold ??
 

Very nice boat, but the exhaust ? Is that because of noise regulations?

Re: 38' Cig, Why hasn't it sold ??
 

It's been for sale for a looong time... Yes the exhaust are for quiet exhaust at idle. GLH run these type (almost) on his Tiger.

Re: 38' Cig, Why hasn't it sold ??
 

I know the owner of this boat and have boated with him several times. The boat is absolutely the cleanest used boat you will find out there and his ask price is less than what the boat is "worth". All you have to do is take a gander through the classifieds to see what PSI blowers, comparable motors and drives are selling for. The exhaust is practical and in my opinion doesn't look that bad. It passes all the noise restrictions where we boat and doesn't provide any HP loss...better than you can say for most mufflers out there.

Gary take's vary good care of his boat it is clean I was thinking of doing the same exhaust in my boat Minnesota is 86db and 82 on Tonka right now I have switchable tip's and Hpi muffler's and turn downs and I'm still at 88db with twin 800hp I have a few pic's of Gary's the hole boat

You may want to talk with Quiet Storm here on the board about that boat. I understand he made a trip to look at this boat with serious intentions of buying it.
He can be reached through the Chicago Powerboat Club section.
