Default 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!

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.
