Big thanks to Bobby for talking with me earlier, thanks bud!

Sheweeng, when you saw it did you see it up close? You are right, classic paint, Myco etc. just wonder how race vs. pleasure it is set up in person with that short cockpit.

Its a real nice conversion but again...its a conversion. So....fit and finish is not like factory but still very acceptable. I didn't have a forensic look at it but boat looked great - I think interior is pretty new (within the last 3 yrs) and very little use in those last 3 years.
The floating pics next to the doc are pics from this September. I'd do a leak down....check the stringers and run it!

All she needs is a windshield and swim platform....
btw - you can get both of those in California pretty easy.

Thanks again Schweeng, appreciate the info. I talked to the owner again yesterday. Showed it sold, then said it wasn't. Found out it has bladder tanks and not regular tanks so not sure I'm keen on that. We'll see what all comes about. Owner has been all over the place with this boat.

Schweeng 12-12-2016 07:15 PM

what is the down side of bladder tanks..?? If you can race a boat with that type .....it should handle regular boating just fine I would think.

Bladder tanks are Harder to insure for one thing. It is considered a race boat. A boat that age is almost definitely going to require a survey. I had trouble with getting an insurance quote on a white gladiator a few years back that I was considering because of this. Maybe you guys might know a different route. I think it's a cool boat. Good luck

Bladders dont last too long either, manufacturer who made the bladders says 5-7 years, 10 years tops. I took mine out of my F2 Cigarette, they were toast. Big project.

The owner (Me) Doesn't care if the boat is sold with or without power. I've had a ton of contact with people who say they want to buy it. It was first listed in May at $100k then I dropped it to $90K. I had someone want to buy the without power and drives for $60k and never pulled the trigger. I have no problem working with buyers and selling it without power. The price is now $80k for everything The 2006 Aluminum myco is pristine https://www.flickr.com/photos/142787...57672402441096
