Looking for an under 10K boat and found this one down by Fort Hood. Price seems to be a bit high for a 350, but what about the boats in general?

thats a 242ls, the price seems on par for what you might pay for that boat on a trailer in that condition.

I think this guy is on something!!!!!

Holy crap, thought 7500 was high for a small block! So how are the boats in general? Do they hold up well and can they do at least 50+?

Overall they are great riding boats. I had mine for almost 6 years and have had tons of fun with it. I alway get a ton of compliments on the boat and people can't believe its an 86 when I tell them.

mine with the original 350 and 19p prop would turn 48mph on the speedo, when I put in a warmed over vortec roller 350 I got a best of 54mph with a 21 prop. Now when I did a bbc and bravo swap thats when I really picked up speed!!!!!!

Thanks for the quick replies. Might have to go check it out today.

That looks like an awesome deal compares with the boats im finding around here

Great boats...timeless styling...solid construction,best ride in the rough stuff. You get 50 easy enough with a single pre VORTEC...60 with a strong VORTEC..70 with A Big Block or 6.0-6.2 LS. I had the SS model and loved it. I'm restoring the predecessor to the 242..a 255 Liberator with twin Vortecs and Bravos. I love these boats!!

Big bang for the buck and you will get compliments where ever you go.. buy it and don't look back!!

I would not ever get a single engine small block boat ever again, takes too much to get them to move at all, you may be able to get over 50 out of them as I did, but still hard to plane and all that with bigger prop, go BBC you wont regret it
