18-23k for the quick sale? Ouch! When i was looking i couldn't find a 1 under 33k. And they told me it was a great deal LOL

The boat market is soft now
 

I picked up a '93 357 this past October that I had been watching for a while.It was listed 2 years ago for 90K, later 70K, then 50K last summer.The owner was happy to sell it to me for 35K.I will be listing my '89 311 in a few weeks.I figure about 20K is what it's worth now.

I keep looking at your pic!!:lolhit:
I had my eye on a 38' in CT listed on ebay just like yours.

I am still throwing all of it around really. I will have upper
$60k in my boat to do it right, and I will NEVER see anywhere close to that back out of it.

I can buy a 35' already built in the $60kprice range. It is cheaper to buy the keys:evilb:

I still need a 800hp drive, full steering, HP Gimbal, and whatever other little odds parts to complete my build.

If I can ever get out of the sand box(Afghanistan) and get to just see my boat, I will be happy with that alone.:lolhit:

271Sr1 with 800hp is that 1 motor or 2 sounds fun. When i pick up my bout after the motors were done I got the chance to run it with a 311 500s a357 500s and 2 sonics 1 with 496h.o's and one with 500's WOW did my boat preform that day She really rocks. Every 1 at the dock alwas ask "whats in that thing" While we're idling louder than the stock 500's through hulls. thats was great!!!!!

Oh yeah if your in the sand box protecting our country I just want to say Thanks...

You have a nice boat. The pics you sent were great, I think I want to sick with a 95' or newer. The 800hp is a single 598 NA motor, it is sitting on the crate next to the boat. If I go forward with the build, I think it will be a bad A$$ boat when it is finished:evilb:

I had a 242ls one time that performed real good, until I found out the transom, stringers, boxes, etc were rotted out:angry-smiley-038: The silent thunder box was leaking by the exhaust coming through the transom. Lost my tail on that deal.

Thanks for your comment in your other post. Proud to be here, I just got my ticket for next Friday...Hopefully it will not change again:drink:
