That boat was for sale a few years ago outta NJ for 89k maybe. I did a little digging on it, talked to marine max a few times and figured with all the unknowns that it wasnt a place I wanted to go. No drive Maintenance history, close to top end hours, no motor history. Could you buy it for 60k, yup, probably.

Gotta be honest...late model flat bottom top guns are a tough sell given most owners want 90-110k for them when someone can pickup an early-mid model for 25-40k less for arguably the same boat.

I think 70s is generous mid yo upper 60s

i think 60 is probably the number drives are old no doubt and will need to be replaced / rebuilt. The motors are allegedly a few years old. It fairly clean. And for 60kish is could be worth a few of the headaches. The question is whether I should spend a more $ and buy something with more of a history in terms of rebuilds etc, or a step bottom. Thoughts?

in my opinion, 60k is not a good price for a flat bottom that needs work. I’d say 40-50k is a good price...but you won’t find that in a 2000 model year.
if you were to choose a TS get ready to spend double the numbers previously mentioned. Doesn’t seem like a clean one goes for much less than 120-140 no matter what the year. Even then they have issues.
it seems like you are on the lower end of the dollar range...if that’s the case I’d find a clean flat bottom with history and spend the 60-65k.
otherwise find a fixer upper down near 40-50...it gives you room to spend (15-25k)
