Here is my 96 top gun i bought a month ago. Old pic with coyete racer on it and the new pic with the new paint! I am very happy with my purchase and got a good deal on it. Just keep looking and you will find the right one.

I did look at the 93 your looking at and its a good deal and I think you can get it under 50K if thats what you want. The TRS are a good drive and shift smoothly, but you will eventually have to get parts for them or replace them. I would suggest finding one with bravo's or xr's! One thing to think about is resell!!!! It depends on your price range too. Good luck:drink:

2nd that. Its a LipShip gun with more potential and newer.

I'm not knocking. Just want the buyer to be informed. I thought the previous owner of the one that sold in Vegas said he replace the cracked blocks with used motors. Then had issues with them after the install. I looked at that one back then but was scared away by those comments.

I am not sure what your long term plans would be, but having converted a TRS boat to bravo (Boxes and IMCO's), I wish I would have stuck with the TRS so that I could run Konrads. If you are happy with 500HP then I don't guess it matters. The old 38's need 650+ to make things interesting.

Here is a picture of the boat when on Texoma.

Keep your money in the bank and wait a year or so, you will be able to buy a TS for 80K , if you need a gun now Tanks is the one to buy !!

Thanks tanner (and Rob)

Tanner, you really think TS guns will be 80k in a year? I was thinking they've hit the floor (hard) in pricing.

IMO we will not see to many T/S for 80 K over the winter and next year

As it is now the only ones you see under or at 100k are BEAT! and will take some serious $$ after the purchase to get em up to par.

Guys thanks for all the information and comments!

I have been talking to Tank about his and looking at a couple others too.

I'm fortunate to be in a good position to be able to buy in this depressed market...there are some good deals for sure. I am patient and am learning a TON on here so far...great comminity for sure! I have learned more over the last week than I ever knew about Cigarettes...lol

Anyways, keep the comments and discussion coming...and thanks again to everyone!

Does that mean non T/S will be worth under 50k next year? Might as well wait till next year.:eek:
