Do you think I could sell the 6's for full value ($70k+) as well? I have a set of used 6's ready to go.

. :eek:

My guess is that a new 42 with 525's and 6 drives is going to price out north of $300K.

Having bought and sold several sets of new 525's they fetch around $24K each, so $48K for the pair. Those 6 drives in the hands of an individual, taken off a boat, might fetch 20K each. So lets say you sell your engines and drives for $90K.

After the parts sale you are going to wind up having around $220K invested in a new hull that has no power or drives. Sounds like a very expensive way to get a little more reliability.

I'm thinking very different math.... a take out engine/drive 525 is about $150-$160k. Recently got a quote!

I would not pay more than cost for the 525's and 6's.
Sell engines at cost $29 each, and drives at $70k, which I think is cost??

So, the net price of the boat should not be more than. $160 . I have my 750's and 6's already, just need my labor....

Maybe I'm just dreaming.... :drink:

You would be better ordering the boat with 850's and selling Your stuff. The resale on the boat would be much better Then used motors and drives in a new boat. You will also have an issue with exaust on your motors. The 525 stuff won't work. The 850's should push that boat 110mph+

PM me I can build you a straight bottom 41 footer without power.

call Joey Griffin in Washington NC, tell him what you want to do and the power and drives that you have.

Where is Pair-a-dice boat today..????

Is there a difference is cockpit area in a staggered 42 X?

Is there a difference is cockpit area in a staggered 42 X?[/QUOTE]

The 42 executioner is basically there original 42 staggered deck boat made from 90-97 they called it a 42 lightning, and you could get it in staggered or side by side configuration, and triples. the side by side version has about 15"-18" more cockpit space, which doesnt seem like much but makes a world of difference. In 98 when they introduced the tall deck round windshield boats they started calling them the lightning and the original became know as the classic deck, although they didnt advertise the classic deck they still made them in 98 and 99 and maybe 2000. Somewere along the line they quit making the classic decks in the early 2000's i may be wrong about them quit make them on special order and then around 04 they brought back the classic deck in staggered configuration only and called it the executioner, which in my opinion was the smartest thing they have done, but only offer it in the staggered configuration and not side by side. hope that helps.

Later

I'd have to say, the more pics of all white fountains i see... the more i like fountains.

Back4More ... great graphics on your boat!!!
