I don't hate Phil, I don't even know the kid, I just showed him what happens when super cocky in the beginning and I am not the type of person to kiss ass and jump on a bandwagon, I will give him credit for doing the boat, might look real good, no idea, I do know that I would have done the interior more simple, and really made the engines bling if your not going to rebuild, at least make them look sweet, that's a big deal to buyers for top dollar...
if I see the boat sell for a cent over 35,000 I would be extremely surprised, sorry its still a low power not rebuilt Café.... I could not get 25,000 for mine with 600's I bet and my boat is in great shape, these boats are getting older as newer ones are being had in the 50-80,000 range these days....
and yes, sorry Phil, but get rid of that hitch that's gonna bite you one day.....

I will however give Phil credit for having transom straps on the boat, even though I would use the bigger ones lol SOOOOO many people don't do that at all... so dumb...

I'd suggest you have some glaring issues with that boat at that price. The trailer looks like crap. In one of the photos it looks like the cabin interior has carpeting on the walls. If that's correct it's a no go. You went blingy with the seat upolstery but old school with the dash, that conflicts. I admire your energy. Another thing I'd suggest is be very careful in your wording in your ad, the language can help the sale or kill it.

Phil, not trying to bring you down but I have similar questions as Interceptor.
So you paid 19k for boat?, trailer still looks like crap, paint looks decent, cockpit interior looks good (how much did that cost you to do from a guy at LOTO with all your gas money getting it there and back). How much did you pay to have 88Bullet rig it for you, and gas money for transportation to his shop and back? looks like you got a lot of loose ends to finish on the boat, looks like you have never touched the cabin on the boat, looks like you just pulled the engines and drives cleaned them and put them back in (no real work there). How much is the rent and utilities per month at your SHOP?
My perspective is you have lost any hope of profit even with doing most of the work yourself. And please get a new hitch for your truck! I would hate to see the next update to be a picture of this boat in a ditch because your hitch failed.
