All BS aside, does anyone know anything about this one? I am sure there is a thread somewhere. Not much gets past this crew.

Jeff, I could be wrong, but isn't that the old Rice Hauler? Don't know what kind of shape it's in now but it was sweet at one time.

Your boat will be worth less than 100K GUARANTEED!

The only thing we could disagree is what point in time that will occur. Your boat was redone with Phil and it will add value but a stock 99 "original" TG is been knocked below the 100K mark. If someone was going to dump money into a boat to restore it why would anyone bother with a straight bottom when T/S TG's are starting to get cheap. This boat would be an excellent boat to redo with fresh power since it has a lot of hours.

This is my favorite straight TG: http://www.offshoreonlyclassifieds.c...o18879-en.html

I liked it better 18 months ago when it was 190K from the guy who restored it, this guy bought it, used it and relisted it for 250, now 210K. Real money is about 1/3 less than asking but he believes differently which is why he still owns it.
