Its priced to sell. There are a bunch out there in the $50K range that are crazy, because they aren't worth that much in this market. $34-$40K should be the going price. Driving to Colorado is worth it if that boat is what you want. The trailer stinks. Rest of the boat looks fine. Remember when you are looking, that except for trim and paint, that 1997-2009 are all the same boat. I'd pick a 454/502 Mag over the 496's. (switched in 2000 or 2001 I think)

If the boat is as it's advertized, sounds like a descent price no matter where it is.
Trailer looks like crap, wouldn't use it much other than to get it home.
Big question is, is this the boat that you want, if so go take a look.
You can't go wrong with a Formula, I've three of them.

Good luck.

Not a bad price for what it is.But you are looking at about 4500 to 5000 for a real trailer.That boat should not even be on that trailer.I would have the bottom checked for damage caused by it.I drove one of my tool trucks back from Colorado.Kansas is a really long state not sure I would tow back to NY with that trailer.Going through the mountains in western PA is not going to be fun with it.

Stronger/better internal engine parts. and when the time comes that you want to make more HP, there are thousands of parts for it.

I see the standard closed cooling, to some extent Smartcraft and the Bravo One X drive as an advantage the 496HO offers over the 454/502.
