Forget the condition, that boat is ug-a-lee.

The kicker is the actual price. The seller may have mentioned that he would take $100k for it, but once he talked to a couple of dealers he raised his asking price to $125k. The price we had agreed upon was less than $125k, but a lot more than $100k. I think the seller said he had two other offers....one of which was $125k. I figured it needed $20k in paint repair, interior, gauges, cockpit cover, swim platform repair, trailer repair, etc. Who knows about the engines and drives. It showed a lot of saltwater use and overall neglect.

Jawbreak, don't buy it if you are not happy..you have plenty to choose from and you will eventually find something you like...take your time..theres one out there for you...just be patient and you will be part of the CIG #1 crew soon..:ernaehrung004:

Thats what kind of T/S gun you get for low $100's.

That boat has always been lower on price than the rest as well. I remember when Martin Offshore had it for sale years ago, and it was a good $25-$30k less than the comparable boats for sale at the time. I saw it in person a few times back then, and it looked just as good as the rest of theirs as far as the condition.

You'll find a better one! :drink:

Like the old saying,"YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU GET"..:ernaehrung004:

So, if a tired, old, salty, worn out ,ugly Topgun is still worth $100K, what,s Blumes like new 05 Gladiator worth now?

I'd say a clean 179k..easy!!!!!!!!!

you shoud buy that boat if its such a great deal!:party-smiley-004:

get rid of the sterling\ durberry (sp) power... then the boat will sell..


or the dirty word, "drop the price"... :food-smiley-007:
