I have the same boat, only mine is a 76. I paid $500.00 with a rod knocking. The problem is the engine thats in that boat when it comes to the price. A BB Chevy or Ford will bring more money, also what pump is in it? A lot of sleeks came with Jacuzzis. This pump is ok, but not as popular as a Berkley.

With all that being said there are tons of these things out there for sale. Prices ranging on average from $2500 to $7000.
If it is really imaculate then I would say no more than $5000.

I have a childhood love for these boats and its so sweet when you see them on the water today!!!!!

this thing is mint. what jet drive is it?? the guy said berkley but its not on it anywhere..

Thats definately a Jacuzzi.
That boat is the exact boat I have. Mine had the engine cover as well, I removed mine and glassed the transom in to be able to run over the transom headers.

That boat is definately in great shape.
I would definately low ball on the price and see if he bites.

Is the paint dull? Or is that just the pictire?

no the paint is like new. just a little dusty and sh!tty camera phone. its a 1974 and shows like a 2010. i couldnt believe how nice it was. he was pretty firm on 7k. which is a little more than i was willing to spend on another toy. know of anyone looking for one??

BarryB

7K is a bit much..IMO
It is a sweet ride though.
