The "buy it now" was 85K a couple of weeks ago. It is now on a reserve auction.

I offered 80K two weeks ago and they wouldn`t take it.

Saw your post, thought you might want to check it out.

I know the owner of this boat well. Boat is mantained with an open checkbook and is not his only boat. I have been on it a couple of times and it is spotless! This boat is certainly worth his asking price!

I looked at this boat last Saturday and it was in excellent condition for its year, like it was kept in a time capsule. I know you're wanting EFI's but I think this one is worth a look.

That's a question for Shogren to answer. I'm sure they'd be happy to give you any details that you would need about the boat.
It would be worth the call, just for a piece of mind, then you could make a decision. Dollar for dollar, probably one of the best deals on the market for a 42 Fountain with that kind of power.

Just my $.02
