What is a 88 Bullet worth
1 Attachment(s)
What is a 88 Bullet worth in fair condition for a boat that age. It has Bravo drives and 502's with 280 hours on them. Does come with a newer trailer. It appears the boat has sat for the last 2 years.

That looks like the Cig that sat Just south of the GG bridge for a LONG time for sale.(2+yrs) Is it back up for sale, are you selling it? Would be a good project boat from what I remember last year when I wasn't looking.... I heard rumors that it sold and what the price was, but was never confirmed.

Do you know any of the background? If it is the boat from the lake, I heard a few stories, basically it was a "breakup" that put the boat up for sale, but it sat there a long time.... I bet a thread on MWBP would get you tons of background. If I remember correctly it was priced around 39K (asking) at the time.
Basically, what ever you can get it for is the going price... |
I took a very good look at it for a buddy a few years back. It was rather rough for my taste. Lots of dock dings, dirty etc. Back then I thought it was a 20-25k boat.

You may need to put a "anyone know this boat?" thread on there. I think your offer is in the right price range. I guess make the offer and see what happens. The set up in the boat is pretty standard and would be easy to fix along the way. Restoring an older boat could be alot of fun. With the few threads out there right now, sure has given me the bug...

We need more information. Freshwater? 500hp or 415hp? Exhaust? What kind of shape are the transom assemblies in? Has the dash been upgraded? Have there been any upgrades? Was it stored outside? Does it have external hyrdaulic steering? Could be anywhere from $20-50K using your description. My 28 Apache is for sale here on OSO and might be close to what your looking for and within your budget. Its turn key with 40 hours on new 502's.

I wouldn't go any higher than 20k. A lot of unknowns with this boat. If your serious about it get a survey. A 20k boat can turn into a 50k boat in a hurry. Ask me how I know.

not even sure on making a offer for 20 after seeing the motors.
|
Yeah most of the numbers guys posting seem pretty close, but then again I've seen people sell them for around $20K with no power.............so not sure the owner will sell it for that. I sure wouldn't. If it was me selling I wouldn't take less than $30K. Sure the motors look ruff, but they may need just as much work as a good running bullet with 4-500hrs and I've seen those listed for $40-50K. There are just a lot of seperate components on these boats. Those motors don't really scare me. I kind of like the crusader blue, but if they have sat they will need to be gone thru. There are a lot more seperate components on these bullets that need to be fixed from time to time.

Tell that to all the cigarette owners on this forum with boats for sale for years. Say this boat might be a good choice for you, I gaurentee you won't need to buy three in one year. Then you wouldn't be running around like a moron with a 88bullet screen name while you own two pantera's. Might want to get that fixed.
sorry for the hijack bullets are great boats. kinda slow but they ride the rough stuff awsome |

First thing is to rename it!
Doesnt look like its in that bad shape. You should be able to do the cockpit upgrade all at once over a winter & then pull the engines to get them painted a better color. :) |

That will be a standout boat at LOTO next to all the Baja's, etc. |
Morgan did sell a few Bajas at the lake.
