Probably average boats in average condition. Still not bad , depreciation wise.

These are pretty nice, I didnt think they were just average.

I'd rather have spares, than glitz.

You don,t know untill you look at them. The second one is a lake boat which is good.

I know of 2004 TG with 525's that can be bought for $210,000

And you might have to spend another 20-30k bringing it back. For instance, the Pirelli floor cannot even make it one year in Fl before it turns yellow and needs to be replaced. There are alot of details that need to be looked at if you want to make the typical 04 salt water boat a "10". Of course , there are always exceptions, but I am just talking on the average.

The '07 in question is a "NEW" boat. As such, the factory, and Mercury, will back the product. Try to get that from a used boat owner. Also, since it was the OSO boat, it has been OVER maintained. OSO has everyone in the biz as friends, so it is never an issue.

Sure it needs paint(if that's what you like) but the little dress-up items are not that expensive and I am sure could be worked into a deal.

I've been on this boat several times and it runs like a raped ape. It is approx 800bs less than an equivalent TG. I have personally seen the care and maintenance given to this boat.

Besides, you can not compare that boat to an 04. 04 has old deck, old style interior, and old seats.

If anyone has questions about that boat feel free to call me, I do not own it but I ran it for the entire time.

Reason its still for sale, time of year and economy, there have been quite a few nibbles from what I hear.

Paint job 30k, that is retail price. You can get one done for almost half that with the right contacts.

If whomever buys the boat, wants it painted, let me know. I've got a hook-up.

Watercolors cannot be used on this boat.
