been for sale for at least 6 months.

what i was told:

seller is second owner.
motors havent been started for 1.5 years.
trailer is 5-6 years old.

the pics of the motors and drives look like its been used in salt its whole life. lots of corrosion.

red boats are tough to sell and they like to oxidize.

if you havent seen the boat in person i can forward you a bunch of pics.

the one Lucky Strike is helping to sell would be a better value depending on what he will take for it. imho

Nice price! That should sell fast.

This is the boat I would get if your in the market. Something smells fishy with the one your looking at. Unless you have deep pockets you may be into the for the price you pay X 2.

RED ??? Thats gotta hurt.

looks like the lucky strikes bullet is good walk in turnkey great shape the you can update as you see fit
as it sit will prob run in low 60 range 62-63

great boat

did you buy one?

Haven't bought one yet. I'm not in the biggest hurry due to the season. I'm trying to line up my friend (a mechanic) and a surveyor to go look at it. I'm still thinking on what to offer.

With Starboard engine not started and not put in the water buying it "AS IS" I'm thinking 22-23K. If he gets the starboard engine finished and we take it out and it runs good and only needs TLC, I'm thinking around 28K.

What do you guys think? Are those fair for both parties? He's been "sorta trying" to sell it for quite a while for 35K.

Some here think I should stay away from this one, but I'm like a kid wanting a new toy. If I can't get a Cig for low to mid 30's, I may have to settle for "gag" a Scarab or a Formula or some lesser boat j/k

There are other brands out there, many of them good, but I really want a Cig.

if you buy the one that needs help, you always find more that needs fixing. I would take a serious look at the one lucky strike posted. If you can get turn key for low to mid 30's that would be the way to go. if one of the motors in the other needs to be redone, than that means the drives do as well. whatever you do, get a SURVEY...

Only if the engines have good compression and leak down.
If not, stay away.

OK, I finally have an update. In the last couple of months there have been several Bullets for sale. More, in fact, than usual. I really wanted a Cig, but I have a beer budget. Anyway, the CHEAPEST Bullet was one down in the Bayou that had sunk (sorta) from the hurricane. That one was less than 20K, but needed the drives and engines totally gone thru and probably had a problem with every electrical connection on the whole boat. 2nd cheapest was the red one. 3rd cheapest was the one posted here for $38500 but with no trailer down in FL.

I've checked out the red one carefully, had a mechanic check it and have heard it run, forward and reverse, tabs and all mechanical systems except the head (toilet) work. I've put down 5K on it and only need to get a sea trial to close the deal.

I KNOW it needs lots of work, but it is useable as is this year. I only plan to clean it up this year and maybe get some vinyl logos and/or graphics this year. I plan to get the upholstery done this coming winter and work on the inside and to completely repaint the following year after I decide on graphics.

After carefully checking the hull and deck (which was recently painted horribly, but it is shiny), this boat apparently came from Cigarette as a totally red hull and deck. I am not an expert, but I had never heard or seen an all red larger Cig. I do NOT plan to keep it all red. I'll probably have a white deck and hull bottom and probably something in Red/white/black on the hull sides.

Next will be to name her.....I'm psyched!!!!!!

congrats and good luck
