Are you talking about the "93 kevlar TG in North Quincy MA listed for $64K?

My buddy was looking at it and I called the broker, but the broker cant come up with any documentation on the engine rebuilds. The owner is having a fire sale because of getting divorced and his wife found out about the boat. he supposedly bought it a year ago and hid it from his wife, her attorney found out about it and now its part of the estate.

when I saw it the drives didn’t match (swept back vs non swept back), paint needed a lot of attention, corrosion on transom assemblies.
from pictures the interior needs to be replaced…
In this market it’s priced at 64k for a reason

If you spend 60-75,000 your gonna get a boat that needs tlc and most likely no engine documentation, that being said I know guys who get newer and engine documents for 100,000 and still don't get a good boat, it's tough to find a taken care of boat at any price these days.
for that price you're going to have something in the 1980's unless you get real lucky, hell i turned down more then 75 for mine this year as I could never replace what I got...

There is a boat in Clinton, Connecticut listed on boat trader for $125,000.00. Its a straight bottom so priced high and outside your price range but it has new engines, new outdrives, new power steering, new interior and gauges, etc. Maybe worth a look and some negotiation. It looks super clean.

So what kind of performance are we thinking? That will drive the hardware and cost. Running the ocean or rivers or inland lakes?

I’ve considered listing mine also. Problem is replacing it in this market or you’d just have to sit out for a while. I also spent a couple years looking for this boat. It would take at least 6 figures so I would probably be keeping it anyway lol.
