What was the retail value on an 88 bullet in 1988? With standard rigging?

I have a reprint article from Boating mag, that was originally done when Cig came out with the Bullet. The then CEO wanted more of an entry level boat with 3 numbers in mind. 30, 60, 100. He was wanting about a 30 foot boat that would run 60 MPH and cost about 100 grand. Apparently did pretty well hitting all 3 numbers. Altho the test boat with some options, including leather and shore power pushed the price to about $107K. Hope that helps.

I know this isn't from 1988, but it's all I've got.

Retail today is $44k. Wholesale is $25k

On the title to my bullet it originally sold for 135,000 when it was new in 1988.

Lets see some pics of the new ride.

Gripit, Congrats on your investment. There are a good handfull on this site that own Bullets. Carter has a real awesome '88, Birdog, to name a few. I have 2, an '88 and a '89. The 1st batch of '88's had a non notched transom which I have. The '89 I found for a friend but his financing fell thru. Restored the boat back to day one condition and is up 4sale. Hate to get rid of it but cant keep them both.
The Bullets are quite heavy as you found out but is a wave thrasher unlike anything else. You have come to the right place for any questions to help out. Between all the Bullets owners here there is a wealth of information so dont be shy to ask away when needed.
Post some pics and give of some more info about the boat.

Thanks cig1988,

I will post pics in a little while, as I do not have the boat just yet. According to my HIN, this boat was the forth out of the mold. I was curious about the knoched transom? What exactly is it and what are the pros vs cons. I obviously don't have a knoch in my transom. Thanks
