Beautiful, Rough Water, Boat.

The #6's are the new style dry sump. He said they were new in 05.

I put Whipples on my Checkmate many moons ago and loved them.

The only weak thing on the boat that I can see is the Velvet transmissions. I'm not sure if they were beefed up or could handle more HP even if they were beefed up.

Thats a great looking TG, trannys are not that big of deal. I have one for sale for 1000 plus HP for $2500.00. My tranny guy in Grand Rapids can beef up the ones in that boat for not a lot of money.

The trans are not stock Velvet Drives, they are beefed up 72C's I believe they are Huber trannies.

This is the boat I referred to in the thread about #6 boats. I've been around this boat some and my jaw drops every time I see her. The paint is incredible.

Can you give me a link to that thread?

The only bad side of this boat is if you need financing and then getting "value" insurance because they go generally based on NADA, so the percentages are harder to justify.

You hit it on the head. The book value of the boat is $46,500. The financers will go heigher based on the added value but nowhere near what he's asking.

That shouldn't be a problem since he won't get anywhere near what he is asking.

Unfortunately (at least in my opinion) no matter HOW nice the boat is, people in that range can get a T/S gun or tiger that is damn near new, is faster with more reliable power, does better fuel wise, and will be an easier resale, and can get some financing for it..... This boat at any price he's probably willing to accept, appeals to VERY few people - namely those that are dying for a brand new feeling cig, have cash, and have a vested interest in having the full cabin with enclosed head.

Yea, there’s plenty out there with XR drives but not many with #6’s in that price range. That’s the draw for me. I've spent way too much time limping home on a busted drive.

The owner is a very good friend of mine. He docks it right behind my boat. I have been all over this boat and the pics really do not do it justice. Yes maybe high dollar for a "92" but one really needs to see the boat in person before passing to much judgement. And in does sound real nice from the rear at some 12 feet away!
