Top Gun Resto prices
 

Q: Did the silver and white redone Top Gun ever sell? Owner was on here, boat is in TX, he lives in CAL? Had white and black interior. I think 500s with bravo???

Had it listed around $95-105 I think. Also, did Fat Boy sell? That was around the same price range.

Was interested to see what they sold for.

Thinking about getting out... May be a for sale ad soon....

Im thinking the same thing, it will be hard to find a flat bottom boat that compares to yours for pricing, she's bad azz

I don't believe it sold.

I hear ya. I bet I have $80K tied up in the drivetrain alone....

Dave has the info on the boat he did....

Just for reference I put a deal together last year, super clean 99 gun with sc600's and bravos. Original upholstery but in very good shape for 90k buyer and seller both happy.

FatBoy is not for sale. It was bought a while ago and being converted to side by side :mad: at Supreme Marine in Fort Lauderdale.

Wasnt FatBoy a 90mph Gun? Why the hell would someone convert a staggered setup to a side by each...
I'll answer my own question... More cockpit room.....

Absolute waste of money. If someone is going to dive that deep into a project they could've picked up the cheapest TG they could find and save the transom and engine rerig issues.

Not to mention its almost blasphemes to do that to such a rare and cherished boat.

I talked to Bryan w/ the silver & white TG that glassdave redid on April 2nd. He said he thought he had it sold. I never heard otherwise.

supreme marine should have advised otherwise

It's coming to great lakes Dave said, not sure which one though

Well said....

Sorry, didn't mean that boat. there is another red and white staggered 90mph for sale on here. Looked similar, very nice boat. I think his name is Doug? Did that sell?

I cant believe their plugging that transom and gonna recut it, its a piece of history.

I think this is the boat you were referring to. 5th post in.

^^^Yep! That would be it. Anyone know what is has sold for? Or if at all?

I just noticed how large the K planes are on that boat. They are massive, like trimable swim platforms.

That focker is bad azz. Saw it in KW a few years ago. Sick.

feel the same way

I think once you get into the level you're at (and these others )for restoration just make sure it's a boat you really want and plan on keeping it. The boat I have now is the last performance boat I plan on owning. Won't sell till I'm done with performance boats for good.

Ive paid for mine at least 4 times over... didnt do it for value, did it for me :)

You got a bad azz ride too. Love that thing. Fun to run too ;)

Thanks for the help in getting me those pics. Wouldn't have been possible without you. Tank here was able to reach out and get me pics of an extensive re-rig from 25 years ago. Ever find the old video?

You are not allowed to!!!!

few scenes of FAT BOY as She once was

Sad face.

SMH. There are a million side by side guns...and a handfull of staggared. Why take one out of a handfull to modify to be like the million others?

Last time I saw Fat Boy was at Lip-Ship about a week before she left for BVI Done up to the Nines, what a beast of equipment in her belly!

Sometimes we do question ourselves, or others question what we do, or why.... I agree that most of us "do it for ourselves" and it's not always about resale...write it off as expensive hobby??? That's a major undertaking to change from staggered to side by side...to each their own and try to enjoy the process (not always fun!). Without getting a calculator out, I'm easily $200k++ into mine and have owned it for 4 years now...would be lucky to get half of that out of it if I sold it....which is pretty much what I have into motors alone. Fact is, once you are out there rolling through the waves listening to that fine tuned "orchestra", could care less about the $$$.....like to think of it as "Therapy"....expensive, but worth it (like a divorce!) :bong:

I've always said that to my wife (and friends). All the money dumped into this hobby - insurance, payments, storage, fuel, repairs, etc....all your troubles melt away when you're out running hard offshore, cruising a prestine lake or anchored up at the local party spot or deserted cove with a cold one on your hand and tunes on the radio.... Ain't nothing better, and it's ALL worth it.

The last couple years I keep asking myself if it's worth it... and I am not at the level some are but I could have payed off my house for what I spent the last few years, when it's right it right... when it's bad it's bad! But the monitors are priceless!!

I coun;t agree more.......... In fact one of the names I have a been toying with is "PROPer Therapy"

Amen to that Brotha!

Worth every penny

Don't get me wrong, I love it, and she's a bad, bad girl. Just taking temperature.

Is it boating season yet?

Here's a good memory from last Summer, niece and nephew from out west, 7 & 9 years old.
