Diego,
Were I you...and in a position to REALLY step up...for similar money I would consider this: http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o54251-en.html...
and since they take trades...see what kind of deal they would make you.
The Formula is nice....but seriously!!!??? I would be all over the Cafe vs the "'Bird"

Like the Cafe Racer but I like the lines of the 353 stepped hull Fastech better , and with 700 hp per side on the cig with bravo 1's you better start looking for xr's or better pretty soon . Anyways if I spent that money on a boat now , my wife would divorce me LOL !!! But it really caught my attention so posted it here as a contribution to these great Oso community... Hopefully someone could take advantage, love the color combo

Dosen't say if it is a salty boat or not. But it is priced very attractively if you ask me!! I have been watching 312's and the only time they pop up under 50 is with 310hp
If I was seriously in the market I would have to take a good look at it, but then again I would have to buy a new truck to pull it.

I saw this boat listed before you posted it here, it looks like a good deal. I would get a hold of SmokinGun gordon I am sure he can answer any questions you might have.

I will. Im guessing you have seen a couple out there?
This passed fall (October) I ran into a local guy at all places (gas station) with a 312, (1999, 502 mag efi, hydro steering, tirm/drive indicators, 280k tabs, power footrest, ect. All the good stuff) Started talking to him and he was actually selling it. 30k$. Not to bad at all. Boat was already winterized so no batteries to open hatch.
Boat had some neglect; bow hatches not closing right, screen on one was drooping, missing pieces in the interior, cup holder covers, very dirty, rips on rear side bench, hull had a few good gouges on the bottom) It had 650 hrs and by what the guy said the 502's had about 50 hrs on one "new" engine, and one was rebuilt. He said his kid ran one engine out of oil and locked up the motor so it was replaced, and then had the other one rebuilt since one was already out.
Had Bravo drives, with low water pick up's witch had been modified. Said something about drilling the low water pick up out larger and was a common thing. I believe it had bravo 1 props on it. He said it runs 75 on GPS
The trailer was so-so. It was a white trip axle eagle with fiberglass fenders. The fenders were broken all over the place, but he just had new bearings, rims & tires installed.
After typing this out I might have to see if I can find his phone # again and give him a call next spring. I know its only a hour meter but the only thing I really didnt like is the 650 hrs.
Not that bad of price at all. So they do pop up from time to time. I don't think I could go from my Baja with 502 mag efi down to 310's

Ive seen that boat before, just not sure where or when or the story, keep watching they pop up, I was close on a cpl, feeling as u do I passed on a cpl with 310's, I'll keep an eye out for ya, I eventually decided my 303 with 502's was the way to go, keep a eye open for a nice 303 also, I love mine, Wanted the 312 to be current with fastech technology, but I kept seeing 97 312's and hated the grey dash, remember be patient,
