need a little boat background
 
Anyone know anything about this:
http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o28689-en.html

THinking of makin some phone calls and seein what I can stir up. Seems like a good boat for the money. My concerns (and experiences) with repo stuff is that if they didnt have the money for the payments, they probably didnt have the money for the maintenance or detailing.. But I could be wrong.. Anyone have anyfirst-hand experience with it?

Good looking boat. Looks like someone put some money into it. The engines look to have been played with. Crane Ignition, aftermarket fuel system ....??

Doesnt have CMI headers watch out for water reversion.

Saw that yesterday. Would be interesting to see what bottom dollar is on it. If you get it cheap enough, could even do rebuilds on the motors (if they need them) and still be in it pretty cheap.

V belts on a 500EFI?

You could spend up to $15,000 real quick and what condition is the drives in?

Makes me wonder why they are not showing the back of the boat

Those motors are hacks. THey are Merc 500hps that someone converted to a 500efi. Take a close look at the fuel system, belts, and the gill exhaust are a dead giveaway.

And why would that be a bad thing ????

V-belt or not,,,fuel system works ,,then ok . Still better then a HP 500 !!!

I think its a steal !!!

Go for it , if the drives and everything checks out ok !!:ernaehrung004:

It is a bad thing because there are a lot of unknowns. What, when, whys come to mind. I like things factory original efi or not! Cool paint though.
