Then it would appear that you must be over pricing the market as well ?!? Likely help out the cause if someone were to start pointing that out, EH?

I'm the cheapest in my area (quebec and ontario) in that size of boat for sale. also in the oldest... Our market is very small here, in terms of people owning boats, but also the season as you know is pretty short. maybe guys prefer injected engines, stepped hull, and what else, long term financing wich is not so easy to have on an 89 boat... I don't know!

But if it sells, I'll be shopping. Actually, I'm already looking so I don't miss too many w-end without a boat if that has to happen!

twin or triple?

First off..... You can't buy a 98 big step 42 for anywhere near 85-89k that is worth a ****. The right piece will always bring all the money. If you don't have the right rig then the boat will sit untill you find the right guy for it.

Second.... We don't have enough info on Johny's 42 to start bashing about price. Fresh or salt water, stagg or non stag, general condition of gel/paint. Lets get the facts before everyone shoots this number down. Cabin interior 5k, a set of 500hps 20k and if its on a trailer thats a 42 lightning with big steps for 90k. What in the world is wrong with that! Please look at this objectively and Johny--- post some pics please!
