LOL! That's probably quite accurate!

I have a feeling that inflation is going to hit us before 4 years this time around. Remember, the spending started two years ago with the bank bailout, and you can go back before that to the Iraq war and lump that spending in there too!

I also think that there's going to be inflation and it's going to be bad. That being the case, we're not fools for owning boats!!! They should be better than holding cash, we'll just have to ship them to Europe to get anything out of them....

I have $140K in student loans, I can't wait to pay them back with a weeks salary that won't buy bread...

Like BillR, I know the owner, have since we were 10. I've been on the boat and have helped clean it too. I'm not going to comment on the price. I was a Formula owner and I'm not qualified to answer the value of a Cig

I DO know the condition. The thing is hard to walk on, it has been waxed so many times even the detailers have lost count. The detailer has a boat lift, several times a year the boat is lifted off the trailer so the hull AND THE TRAILER can get a coat of wax!!!! Price is whatever you think it's worth but the condition is above rediculous.

Thanks Tank!

Boat will be in Long Island so I am sure I will see it from time to time. Let me know of any good deals you hear about.

If it's officially sold and the money is in your hands, a big congrats to you and the new owner... it's a beautiful Cafe, by far the nicest I've seen!

The market always comes back and it should come back good for used boats as new ones are being made at a snails pace. This should drive the value up on nice used ones. The big problem now is banks won"t give loans for performance boats, when this changes i'll be looking for a nice 35 mistress. Good luck on your search Frank.

I suspect the guy is listing it for sale to satisfy his wife or something!

Honey, I haven't gotten any calls, I guess we'll have to just keep the gun and fore-go that cruiser you want!

What a beautiful boat, but with avg power there are too many boats out there that can be had for quite a bit more than a paint job cheaper!

The owners wife told him to sell the boat ... so now he shows her the listing and tells her he has done what she has asked !!
