I'm sure you can find a better restoration project with less unknowns from a more reputable and reasonable seller.

This one keeps peeking my interest.

I know it also needs work but seems better then that one and it’s not far from me. My biggest turn off is the #6 drives I know for some it’s a desire but me I know nothing about them and know they need constant care. Not that I’m not willing to give the care but just want to get out of my league.

Id be wondering why its been laid up for 3 yrs, keeping 850 blower motors running tip top could be more of an issue than the drives,

yea from pictures it looks alright. But I know that it’s been brought up in past searches for people. My only thought with that one was go in low on the offer and hope he wants to move it.

I don’t know that boat personally but it looks very well cared for.

has the old cabin and bolsters though. Not a deal breaker for all but I personally like the newer cabin / bolsters / grab rails, etc.

yea that’s one thing that was keeping me away from it in a way. I really do like the newer style as well.

ive had the cig itch for many years and just trying to figure out if now is the time or do I wait a bit longer. Being that Lake Michigan is where I boat I’ve decided my formula 272 just isn’t cutting it anymore. I love the boat and have put a ton into it just realizing that bigger is better and trying to decide between a 382 fastech or a top gun. I’ve always loved and wanted a nice top gun just hard to make the choice because formulas have a few more probably unnecessary options.
