I also agree with what all these guys have said. Hell there is a 39 top gun in Boston for just over 30! If you were to pay that you would loose your shirt on the deal. Lets say you were looking/willing to spend that kind of coin. Get a 272 for 10K and you have over 10K left over for fuel! Twin engine boats do use up more fuel but not 2 times the fuel. What kind of boating do you do? I would keep looking.

This is a nice 242 priced about where it should be, mint 242's still will pull a little extra money

Ok first off gas is the least expensive part of owning a boat. When it comes to boats amount in doesn't equal amount out. They are generally a total loss on money. They are an addiction albeit a legal one. Most people are constantly changing upgrading and maintaining not always because of need but also because its part of the addiction.
With this in mind just because he has 24k in receipts doesn't mean he all the sudden has the highest value boat. Boats have a year and condition range that sets the price. Add to that a buyers market and prices are generally low right now.
My personal opinion says I'd never spend more than 10-12 on a single engine mid 20s boat. I could be off but I wouldn't spend it. If I was willing to spend mid 20s I'd have a 30ish sr1 with twins. I spent less than 10 on my 272 as I know others have.
Just my .02
