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

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

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.

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

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