Anyone know this TG?
 
Was considering trading my Hallett of selling if I can find the right boat. Tough finding clean boats at the correct price point. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...6d0529537c.pnghttps://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...57dba0e0a2.png

That boat was completely redone at lipship a few years ago. It’s a beautiful straight bottom 38 that lives at LOTO. Is it for sale?

Yea I had a gentleman from a Big Marine Dealer our there send me pics of the boat A year ago and said the guy was wanting to get into a cruiser. The price was just far off for a straight bottom gun with 525s. I get it was restored but it’s still a 93 boat and engineering and there’s no getting around that. I would trade my Hallett for it which some would think that’s crazy but I want a TG:)

I chatted with the owner briefly at Rendezvous this year when we saw it and he didn't mention anything about selling but $$$ talks I am sure. My wife and I followed the build and at the time were interested in looking at it. Boat is beautiful in person.

A friend of mine owns it. As others said, was completely redone at lip ship. Motors were rebuilt last year. Beautiful boat. He takes great care of her.

Really wanted to make it down for the event this year. I love LOTO still trying to get the wife to tag along next time out. That boat looks beautiful, would definitely need to be that caliber of a restoration or a twin step to make it worth selling. I know I don’t have the time to restore a boat to that level. Or the experience😁

That’s great he’s enjoying it. Too many are parked or racked stored and never run. Well when you to run into him could you let him know I’m interested? Who knows maybe there’s a chance:)

It's a hell of a great time! We were glad we finally carved it into our schedule even though the weather was "ehh", still a great time and PBC puts on a great show, kudos to the team. The boat is of that caliber, looks just as good as it did when it left LS when we saw it. It was great to see it in person finally. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it, boat is gorgeous!

you want 1 of 4 built......

I believe that boat spent one summer here in VA before going to LOTO, after the Lip-Ship refit. The owner of the boat in VA was METICULOUS.

Ha, I wasn't trying to swoop in. I was more curious on what the market thinks for pricing on these resto boats. What's "too much" for higher priced old boats. Doesn't matter how much money you dump into them, $100K, $200K, + etc. There is a ceiling where they won't trade above, just trying to gauge the current market, everything is for sale....

It's something that comes up here every 6 months.

frick, I think this boat was north of 150k when it came from Lipship

frickstyle 11-07-2019 07:57 AM
That helps thanks. Not sure what they actually trade at though.... Anyone know what sales price? $125K?

cigrocket 11-07-2019 08:19 AM
I personally have only seen 2 Top Gun Straight Bottoms in the past 4 years sell for more then 95K. When everything was said and done.

frickstyle 11-07-2019 09:34 AM
^^^Yup, that was my thinking. I've also seen some really nice guns (SSM 6s, well maintained, nice power, 90mph, etc) Go up and not sell for a fair price on those units. It's a really tough sell when you get into the stratosphere on resto mod Guns.

Been their, done that. No return on the money invested. I got a decent number at the time Low $80's. And that was almost 6 years ago, and everything had been touched/massaged in some fashion.

One of the problems now facing older restored boats is financing for some. Most ....not saying all don't have a large amount of cash for the boat and need some help. Newer boats are easier to finance. Not to mention older boats tend to need some additional maintenance.

Except for 4 Straight Bottom Special Order Top Guns that were built in the 2000's. All of them are AT LEAST.....19 years Old.

F-2 Speedy 11-07-2019 11:14 AM
150k is getting pretty deep into a TS gun

I’d pay up to 80k for a Straight Bottom of this caliber. It’s still a Bravo Boat and Older Style 525s rebuilt. I restore Autos as a hobby at a very high level. bottom line you better restore the right auto to the right specs if you want your money out of it. I love watching the auctions and watching what some of these high dollar restos sell for. 100k builds selling for 25-30k. We all know what it takes financially to build toys like this and we do it because we love it not because we are trying to make a profit otherwise id flip boats:) And it would not be Cigarettes😁

have not seen this EFI conversion before. Thought it was cool. Here's a pic.https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...c6d3d2649c.jpg

Joe 11-07-2019 08:43 PM
Phil, if you're reading this, no need for referral fee if he buys it. How about just smiling a little from time to time... or, just once would be a good start!!!! LOL🤓

Edlebrock makes some nice parts. I met a gentleman this year that races a Hallett high speed ski boat that engineers some of there parts. His Hallett is twin Turboed have to find a picture.

I stopped by Tuesday, it's a sharp resto for sure and one of the nicest I've seen. I think he said it was an 99 and the power made 650 ish.
