I am going to play devils advocate on this one and say it is not that great of a deal. I looked at buying a playboy before my Gladiator (last february) and at the time there were 3 for sale that could be had for $95,000 to $104,000 (the original black one, the white one, and the white/blue one that was traded in on the formula 400ss). What was the cost between buying one with 496's or 500's when it was new. I bet you it was close to a $40,000 upgrade for the 500's.

I agree 100%, the boat is worth 70-80K in todays market

It may not be a great deal anymore, but I still think its a good deal if the boat is nice.

Yes Mercrusier started putting them in boat in late 2000.

Still being devils advocate, I will say it is a lot of boat for the money.

75k deal 90k no deal

but in the sub 100k market the diff between deal and not gets a lot less

15k between deal and not

where at 200+ its probably not even a deal breaker
