fair price? rip-off? steal?
 
My present state of mind (changes frequently) thinks I want a dependable, trailerable, twin powered, used sportboat for a good price.

Would this boat fit that description?

yes, id agree that its a fair price for that boat. If you are just wanting a performance boat you would probably be able to get into a baja around the same year for a little less.

305's?.......Id sea trial it and see if its fast enough for you.......bring your gps......I bet it would have a tough time breaking 60........Sea Dated let his go for $25 with 454's and it would run 72 - 75.

Have to agree hear my 29 twin step with 6.2(377) will only do 72 with perfect conditions.Non step with 305s maybe 60

follow up question:

Since the boat is probably underpowered. And from my very limited knowledge of small block chevys. Add to this a nonexistent knowledge of outdrives.

Once these engines are destroyed by saltwater use, couldn't a pair of 350s (or strokers) be bolted in with no problem?

These are the same "bravos" that are bolted behind the
350 mags aren't they?

Thanks for everybody's help!

just a thought......yank them while they're still new and you'll get the most for them and go for the strokers now

Yes no problem, boat looks clean but priced way to high.He has to go down alot

I think there are better deals to be had out there. That will be a tough sell with 5.0's and would be a pig. I think 60 would be optimistic. Those bravo's would be indestructible behind those 305's though.

I think that is to high for that boat with that power but this looks like a good deal just a thought.
