I have a line on a mid 90's formula 419. It's an insurance loss boat. Damage is mold. So I'm assuming it needs all new interior.

That being said it has Tripp 502 magnum EFI motors and I'm guessing bravo drives.

The million dollar question is what's it's worth! I'm guessing it's worth more parted out than it is together.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Trailer?
Trips are a tough sell and the sum of the parts really determines the value rather than the market. I know of those who buy them to part out because that is the only value in them and then shred the hull. The sum of the parts might put it at $38K fully equipped but this is a generous estimate. A 94 on LOTO sold for $25K two years ago but it had no gen and no trailer with interior work needed.

That's good info thanks. This one has a gen but no trailer. But it's going to have to be a part out for sure. I got some pictures of it last night and the entire interior needs replaced. Most of it is already out.

So looks like I'm pretty much looking at the value of mechanicals and parts. And I agree 30 is generous.

I knew tripps were a tough sell but 25 for one running seems cheap. I'm surprised. But then again I didn't see the boat.

If I can grab this one for under ten I think I'll buy it. I not i don't think it's worth it to me.

I looked at this Formula 419 sr1 yesterday. The interior is all gone. The 502 have 700hr on them so does the gen. Not much to part out. I am staying away. I think the past owner made the only money this boat had left!

I saw some pictures with the cuddy all gone. Are the bolsters still there? Or is the cockpit interior gone also? I'm going to look at it Tuesday.

700 hour 502s are still worth a few bucks if they run. I do know they were only able to get one of them running. And my buddy needs two of the bravo drives gimbals etc. it would cost him almost 10k just for two complete assemblies anyhow.

This boat sold for 12'500.00 where you the winning bidder ?

Nope I went in under 10k. I think 12,500 is still a good deal... I would have still parted it out... The hull would be nice with a staggered setup...

Did you bid at all Scott?

No I did not bid on this one I am looking at a different boat that I have a bid in on More in line of what I want. Coppers did tell me that this boat sold for 12500

Got you!! I'm looking for something with bravos, and also something with 3s, 4, or 5, for a couple projects. If you stumble across anything like that. And you're not interested. Please Let me know.
