Two sales techniques...

1.) List it high. Way higher then 1 & 2 sold for. But wait it's a better boat. Then continue this logic. A few years later think, the market will come back, a couple years later dump it for practically nothing. But you do get the fun of storing and maintaining it. Along with the once in awhile serious buyer to play with.


2.) It needs listed for 269K. Then hope to get 225K.
And end up at or slightly below 200K.

But what do I know....

They would be lucky if they got 200k out of it. That asking price is a joke. That boat has been through the wringer.. It's been wet, fell off a trailer, God knows what else. There's a reason the interior has been replaced. I saw AMIII at TNT right after we had AMII delivered to there. Couldn't believe the poor condition it was in, the boat had been rode hard and put away wet, literally. And thats not a CMI exhaust system, it looks like Stainless Marine, not that there's anything wrong with that, but the add is wrong. I'll stop there...

Soooooo basically what I'm reading is this boats overpriced by 200k, the ad has integrity issues and the boat has some untold but not unknown history. Hmmmm. Good luck on the sale.

You and I were both standing next to Elway on the dock in Key West when it was taking on water up the stringers. Wasn't it you that said "Hey, you might want to turn the bilge pumps on"? Then it was all over the net when that thing fell off the trailer, onto the road, and I think that was down in the Keys as well. And who knows what all happened after that. When I saw it at TNT in October, I almost didn't recognize it. Boat's had a hard life, just saying.. And to have a dealer ask that kind of price and talk about how "clean" it is?? How can you post an ad like that and think people aren't going to talk? What did they just spend 100k on? Besides the interior and a new exhaust system? When was the last time the engines, tannys and drives were gone through? Good luck on that one...

Yes, I do believe that was me.

At least Kelly was nice enough to buy Elway a drink while watching his boat nearly sink.

Heard it had an issue at a dock once too. Something about sitting nearly sideways in the water....

lol She did buy those guys a drink John and the guy in the bilge.... I don't even know if the current owner/owners even know about that.

Ahhh.. Good times, good times..

Hey, I have a photo of it!! GREAT TIMES!!!

Anyone know where AMI went and how much?? Looks like its sold.

don't know, but that ones ugly too, I hate the dash layout in that boat.... I cannot believe how much better AMII looked over both the others..
