Right at 70 no more no less

Re: help buying a bullet
 

all great advise and thanks...any suggestions to surveyers in Seabrook Clear Lake ARea of Tx to recommend?

Re: help buying a bullet
 

not to be a pessimist, I'd ask the dealer who they recommend and make him the one you avoid. Anyone they have a relationship with would be suspect, especially since you from way out of state. If they have a faorite - theres a reason.

good luck

Its a 1990 bullet with stepped hull. 502/415 mags repowered in 99. Vessel is listed here in OSO.

DO NOT buy a boat without a survey. That is too much money to spend to risk all of the problems that can be hidden (moisture, stress cracks, broken stringers, etc...). It will be the best $500 (give or take) you ever spend. There are plenty of people that spend a couple G's on survey's before they find the right boat. Better to spend $2,000 on survey's for the right boat than thousands of dollars and countless hours fixing someone's problem. Any salesman who tells you not to get a survey on a 15 year old boat is one I would watch out for.

Good luck!!! A bullet is a GREAT boat. just make sure you buy the right one :)

Looks nice I'm not sue what you mean by stepeed hull? Notch? Survey runs 10 to 12 dollars per foot not including compression check here?

Re: help buying a bullet
 

It has a notch or pad in the stern of the keel, it is my understanding that only the later Bullets had this notch/pad. Also, does anyone know when did they stopped making the bullet. I read somewhere that they were introduced in 1988?

I'm sure that you've heard the others say this already, but I'll post it one more time just in case. :cool: :cool:

DO NOT BUY IT WITHOUT GETTING A SURVEY!!!!

I hear that there is a guy named Ed Cozzi that has great pricing on surveys!!! :D :drink: :D :drink:

Re: help buying a bullet
 

The notch is correct. cb
