I have my 1994 Cigarette TOP GUN for sale on offshoreonly.com for 1.5 years. I've had one phone call. That's it. The market is not good with the economy.
That boat for sale has a lot of hours. My 1994 only has about 180 hours on the boat and less than 50 hours on the new engines. When I purchased the boat, the motors only had about 140-150 hours on them and they were SHOT. I had to pull them and I even had to replace the BLOCKs because the blocks that were in the boat had Helacoils. So, that indicates that the motors have already been rebuilt with that few of hours. Pistons were worn. It was a mess. If you buy a boat that has engines with that many hours, assume engine rebuilts and don't be cheap.
Replace everything that needs to be replaced.
Plan on spending between $25,000 - $30,000.
I had my B&M blowers rebuilt, Carberator Rebuilt. The only thing that I did not replace on the engine internals were the main crankshaft and piston rods. Everything is new. It cost me about $28,000 to do both engines.
