Questions I always wanted to know the answers to.......but didn't ask....but am looking at an '88 with no notch.....

Did the "Notch" allow a higher x-dimension?
How much did the notch improve the speed?
Any reason why you would / would not buy a "non-notched" bullet?

Clueless in Toledo :chimp:

Re: help buying a bullet
 

as said before
you will need the survey for insurance
so get it now
maybe you can even have the seller split it with you

my 89 Bullet with a notch runs in the high 70's with 2 x 565 hp

Re: help buying a bullet
 

PICTURES!!!! WE NEED PICTURES!!!
I hope you took lots of them when you went to see the boat. Post 'em.

Re: help buying a bullet
 

If he does get a survey, how will that effect the now given deposit if the boat fails the survey?

Re: help buying a bullet
 

is this it?

Re: help buying a bullet
 

That depends on how the purchase agreement was written. If it says "non-refundable" he won't get it back. Usually there is a clause stating that the buyer has to be able to finance the boat, so assuming that the survey were to show a value less than the loan value the buyer would be entitled to his deposit.
In this case the broker may try to get the buyer financed locally, which will bring up the problem of insurance coverage. If the survey shows less than the loan value the insurance company will not insure the boat for more than the survey and the full amount of the loan will not be insured. A bad deal, no matter how you look at it.

i was interested in this boat when it was for sale ( back in Sept. 2003 ). Pictures that were sent to me showed the boat in ruff shape. Was there any updating since?
