60-70 is about right if it surveys as clean as it seems, and drivetrain is up to snuff.
Problem is, if you can only afford 60 for the boat, the upkeep is gonna be tough if you're not doing it all yourself.

Again thanks to everyone, I really don't think the owner would turn down a serious fair offer. As for the divorce analogy, I like it, get what you can and move on to the next T/A.

Jesus - is that corrosion on the upper casing cap on that left outdrive???

Just spoke with previous owner on Motors, they are built more than I knew. Dyno over 700hp they also have intercoolers. The previous owner also had extra clearcoat put over paint to ensure a glossy finish.

BY U BOY

Was the transom repainted at some time?

My guess - it was a TRS boat converted over to Bravo.

That section you see is missing paint/glass from the re-glass.

The more I look at those drives the better I feel about mine though that is for sure.

I'm still curious about the hours - if those things have 0 Hours that could be a killer boat - if they have 450 hours then, no matter what they dyno, they are a huge liability....

Those engines are a liability anyway. Those blowers are way to small for those engines. In order for them to work, they are spinning them very fast. They had to put the intercoolers on as a bandaide IMO to keep the air temp down from the blower spinning so fast. Terrible design IMO.

You would need to take the belts off and spin the blowers. You can tell how old the engines are by how worn out the blowers are. Not a rule, just a guideline. You could pull the plugs and stick a bore scope in to see what kind of shape the enignes are on the inside.

If those engines are really 572's, you should be able to make 700 without the blowers, which means they are a bad design, or built cheaply.

My point exactly any of these boats at the 50-60k range will need 15-20k to make them right or you can buy one done for the 75k range.

Holy crap your right! Maybe it is only worth 60k. That definately makes me feel good about my boat.

Any updates Will after a month on the market?
