At a ninety five thousand dollar starting point, what is the least one could be into that boat with basic 525s, bravos, and labor.

In my humble opinion, this would be a decent deal for someone that would do all the work themselves and had a connection to getting stuff or even had some parts / motors already.

You're talking 30k minimum for power, 10k - 15k minimum decent drives and assemblies, but then you're going to get nickeled and dimed for all the little stuff to rig it (guessing 20k). So you're roughly 60kish before installation. If you have to get someone to do it stand by for the labor bill!

Great looking boat. Best bet would be for the shop selling it to rig it and sell it ready to go since they have dealer cost. Same thing I think it was pier 57 did that with the Mercury test cig: tried to sell it derigged but after sitting on it just put it together and sold it whole.

Perfect opportunity for a Arneson conversion.

Hard pill to swallow when their are 2 42xs listed an 05 and an 07. The 05 is being sold at 185k. And the 07 is at 215k. And that's what they are asking. I think this gun would definately cost you 200k when all said and done but it could be more. Parts aren't cheap, boat restorations take time which is valuable. Plus you could buy one of the 42 and go boating next week instead of 2 years from now,......lol. I think it would be a good deal at 60k. Or rig it at least with ransom assemblies......lol

it seems like it hung out with kid apache for too long...

but i laugh when people say youll have 20k for nickel and dime lol someone who has connections could do it very reasonable. it just all depends whats missing. of course if you buy all brand new merc stuff sure.... im curious who will step up and buy it. but like cig rocket said, at 60k i think is where the number real world is


i love the color and the paint and interior.
