not listed for sale.... if i buy a new boat... ill be poorer and probably no happier than what i have

but i got an itch for big and fast

Dont rule out Oceans 35 yet. It only has 122 hours on it. The owner invested alot of money into the motors and drives. The boat is probably worth 160k maybe a little more. It is a 2002 twin step Cigarette and very fast. By the way it has not blown outdrives and there's no corrosion on the drive or tabs or anything for that matter, so it didn't sit in dirty salt water for too long.

All I gotta do is off the SCARAB and then Dreamers boat is the one I'm comin after :evilb:

Tank and I talked about your boat a few weeks ago, I never want to BS people, once the SCARAB is gone then I can have money that talks...I hope its around in the next few months :cool:

Dreamer, you gotta great boat :cool:

Yah, don't rule it out untill you do the survey on it first......Maybe this boat doesn't blow drives or maybe I was just thinking about the other 35 all white Playboy from Ocean with Pro-Chargers. I get so confused. Sorry.

They have no knowledge of any blown drives so.... You know, boats are made to go in water even sit in it too. What do you have against the boat and Ocean any ways???

Not to get in the middle of your guys rant towards one another but lots of people have issues with boats that have even been in salt, let alone left in it.

I personally boat in the pacific ocean more than lakes and I've never had a salt water related problem on a boat. properly maintained and you'll have no problems.

Chris and I have had some issues, but since have made ammends. And, in no way have I said anything derogatory about Ocean on this thread. I like Chris and applaud him for what he has accomplished at Ocean.. I simply am stating what I know about this boat from two people very familiar with the boat. I even stated that it was maintained , hauled and cleaned with an open checkbook....But, when a member of this forum seeks info on a boat that I know of, I tell what I know, good or bad. It's up to the potential buyer to make his decision. I even posted the name of an excellent surveyor who would be impartial in his survey. And as far as a boat sitting in the water, these boats are not made to sit in saltwater for months at a time. You know that. Anyhow, I give you credit for trying to be the proverbial salesperson. Let the potential buyer and the surveyor make the final decision.

This one was properly maintained so there are no problems. It really hasn't been run in two years and has only been maintained by Ocean Performance. So it really only had a couple of months of sitting in water if it did.

The asking price in January 2007 was $229,000 did the seller decide to lower it???

(For a few bucks more you could get a late model mint 38 Gun with 525's.)

Why would anyone keep a boat like that in salt water, what was the owner thinking...........

The starting price is 199k, open to any offers.
