Good luck, keep us posted on your progress.

I would think from the looks of that boat, it could bring 17k, maybe 18k. However, that's like top buck.

You could do a little moaning and groaning over the Alpha package (although in reality, it should not be a drawback for you). Just to try to get the price down some. It's certainly not unreasonable to start with an offer of like 14.5k. Who knows, next thing you might hear is "sold"!

Don't forget it is undoubtly a nice boat but ..... what does the trailer need .... and so on ...... leave your self some room and put some doubt in the sellers mind of what he really has. You never know he/she might say yeah your right it is the middle of the winter I need the cash .... I just want to get rid of this thing before I change my mind and use it next summer.

Good Luck ....

That Boat has been listed for a while too

I don't think you can go wrong if it's in good shape. They ride great and can be pepped up with some HP if you want too. I have a '90 that I've dropped a custom-built 620HP motor in. I am now upgrading to a Bravo XR since I blew my last drive up in a Poker Run (too much air). I've seen 71 MPH on GPS. I expect to see mid to upper 70's when I take the hook out of the hull and go to a sportmaster lower.

You may ask, "Why sink that money into an older boat?" The answer is that the size is perfect for trailering, two spending the night, hauling a few friends, and it looks and rides great.

I had a 1987 Chapparel Villian with 330hp and alpha never had any problems.

Actually the motor wore out before the drive.

Well, seller finally answered dealer's phone message. Counter-offered, then I did. In the end, we met halfway, so I'm okay with it.

Thankfully, they'll hold in storage (indoors) til May 1st - seller paid. Works for me. See yooz all on da' lake...

congrats
