There's plenty out there and cosmetics aren't as much of a concern to me as mechanical...I can change the cosmetics over time but if you have a weak or tired power train you're screwed and you better bring out your wallet lol...even with me doing a lot of the work myself I'm still probably 10-12k plus into my ONE motor in my Nordic...solid motors and preferably not bravos or it has SCX's on it already as that's another huge expense that I don't mind paying a little more for upfront just for the peace of mind.

Not sure I would "pay more" for fresh power, maybe if they have a good name attached and it was taken care of, many times fresh power has issues or things are not what they are supposed to be.... or done right. be prepared for all and any issues.

Agree 100% I don't want "fresh rebuilds" if they are from bob's backyard engine shop hahaha

I'd really prefer running unmolested stock power with some hours on it vs brand new rebuilds that I have no idea what's actually in there....a 525 with 300 hours I know exactly what I'm getting...525 that has had "heads refreshed 5 hours ago" I have no clue what if anything at all was actually done

engines = 10-14k
drives = 12k
exhaust = ?



So why is an older Gun with more hours worth $70k more? I love Cig's but the prices are ridiculous.

i never said it was...

my opinion has had always been the same regarding ts guns...early 2000’s in good shape needing nothing should fetch 115-130k. One that needs work should be low 100’s (105k).

I guess the boat market has moved like real estate where you pay for the land but the house itself has little value, and you pay for the hull and the engines are of little value, unless they’re just something special.

I was just asking in general using your quote as reference.

Supply and demand, Better built boat, better looking boat, and have a following.. people simply love them.

You're right, not exactly apple's to apple's. I mean, its great that they are actually going up in value vs depreciating but some of the prices are ridiculous.

If you dont like the price, dont question the price. Move on and buy a boat you like the price on.
