It looks like I'll have to break out of my central texas mentality to find a good deal! I'm not focused in on the formulas, but I really like the lines of the eighties.

way high on that one, whats your budget, I also would shop for a 88-91 242, there will always be a market, theve pretty much bottomed ouyt leaving little room for loss on your end when time to go, a nice 242 should be in the 10-15 range (88-91) you can also find nice square windshield 242's for 5-9k, the grey area in between leaves you room for do it yourself work,
where are u located?


Way high? That's why I suggested he offer less. It's not MY boat or my listing. Just showing him that if you look, you can find a deal. Square windshield 242's have alpha drives, which I recommend staying away from.
As for VIP....I would go for a 240 Sport Baja or 24 Outlaw before Iwent
there.

Im located in central texas. Im not real knowledgeable about 80s performance boats. Just see one i like and start researching. I have a 71 chris craft xk22, but it needs a lot more work than i originally thought and i have a lot less time than i thought i would have. So im trying to find something that will hold me over a few years while i completely restore the xk. Plus, i really want to be on the water this summer!

Wow, I would absolutely love to own a Chris Craft xk! I saw one on the Mississippi river in the 80's and it has been burned in my memory ever since. Sweet!

My old man had one of those when I was a Kid. Lots of fun!

I would love to find one and keep it up on the lake for fun.
