What do you guys think of this boat? Sounds like a lot for a 92.

It's been discussed a few times. Apparently the boat is unbelievable and looks brand new - except for that annoying flat bottom, and full cabin.

If I remember correctly it was origanally priced at 229 or more. He has come down. I think if he knocks another hundred grand off it will move.......

Personally....I'd like for him to get asking price. But that isn't going to happen. There's an azz for that seat, but it's a tough one to find!!! We all know what the guy paid for the boat and it's not going to bring that $$$ now. It is a beauty!

Where's Dreamer, he could tell us what it's worth!

I was looking for some old treads on the boat and couldn't find any.

Do you remember what he paid for it?

I have seen that boat up close and personal a couple of years ago, and by the pics it still looks just as good.

It is truly a work of art. VERY expensive compared to the year/brand/price guide, but this boat should be in NO WAY compared to any other boat in the NADA guide. Pictures do not even do it justice.

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 would be hard pressed to find a newer cig that looks any less detailed in shape for thousands of dollars more. Besides almost everything was replaced during the resoration anyhow.

Bottom line, if you want a real head turner it is the boat for you!

Yea, it's a looker but how do you think it would run. The owner claims 90 top end.

If it's set up correctly, close to 90 or 90 is possible. Are they wet or dry sump #6's? Probably more believable if they've been converted. Being a '92, it's probably much lighter than my '88 kevlar TG as they were laying them up light in that era so they would run with 502's and Bravos.

That boat was advertised by the last owner for I think around 200K and sold quickly. That along with what the current owner is asking should give you a good idea of what it sold for.

Just my opinion, I'm not trying to come off as some douchebag that think that he knows everything, but I remember the boat well. Although it's nicer than mine, it's somewhat of a similar boat as mine and I'd love to see it sell for close to what he's asking. I'll see if I can find any past threads on it.
