I'm pretty sure that that boat has been sold and the website hasn't been updated. That boat was the "In Denile" boat that was re-painted.

If i recall correctly, the boat was on ebay a while ago. It's just another T/S Gun that you can't buy for under 200k :rolleyes:

Ummm, the ad says $169,000 :confused: :eureka: :drink:

Re: Good Deal on a T/s Gun
 

Another thread had several owners quoted that TS guns were 225-240K boats all day long despite being 325K boats new in 2001! :eureka:

They have been drinking the Kool-Aid......or they are way upside down from financing it for 20 years! :eek: :D :drink: :evilb:

Re: Good Deal on a T/s Gun
 

I almost bought that one back in '03. Owner have "just" installed Vortech blowers and Imco outdrive on it. It had 7 hours running time since install. I backed out because I didn't want aftermaket blower motors. Back then the price was $225,000.00

Boat was in "ok" conditon back then, but needed LOTS of cleaning. Smelled like mildew in cabin.

Uhh Bill the boat listed is a 2001 so would have been a really early production model in 1993. :D

Brain fart - 2003.
Post is corrected.

Re: Good Deal on a T/s Gun
 

I asked today at work and as far as I know that boat is still available.

Re: Good Deal on a T/s Gun
 

hrmmm..from my experience with 2 strokes nickle/chrome pipes 1100 degrees will do it, but over time, for that much coloring that far from the combustion chamber, it was hot for a while either that or it suddenly got wayyyy hot, although way hot usually has more blueing to it, a gold pipe (first 6~8 inches on a 2 stroke is usually indicitive of a well running properly jetted motor running exhaust gas temps aprox 6" from the piston face of 1200~1250 degrees at WOT. no way in hell should a water cooled exhaust be running this hot. especially 10~14 inches from the combustion chamber. like mentioned could be a cracked water jacket on the elbow or a bad hose, either may have already been fixed..have the motor runnung up to temp and a bit of a load and shoot the elbow with one of those laser thermometers to see if its running the same temps as the others

The transom has been repainted as well. The transom used to match the dash.

Re: Good Deal on a T/s Gun
 

It is all about quality! A well maintained ,like new Topgun will bring all the money. An abused, worn out, tired, non-maintained boat is hard to give away. Like they say, "you get what you pay for".

Re: Good Deal on a T/s Gun
 

What was meant from that was a clean, low hour 2003 TG with no stories will still bring $225k-$240k. 2002's are going to bring in the low 200's.

You've got to get the facts right ;) and I wasn't the one who posted it originally.

Re: Good Deal on a T/s Gun
