Default 03 35 Lightning 575's

Feeling out the market.
Knowing used market is tough right now, anyone interested in a mint 03 with 575's ?
If no quick sale, will keep and list in classifieds in spring.

Holy Cow Kelly! Not wasting any time in getting that farm stimulus money back into circulation are you.



Seriously here, this will make someone a real sweet ride. I've seen this boat up close and personal, as well as in action, super clean boat, and it will rock. I've been thinking Whipples ever since Kelly put a whoopin' on the Biotch last summer. This one is sweet!

MSRP on our late production 2000 35 twin step Lightning w/500EFI's was $234,790.00 That boat was loaded with almost everything ... shore power, bezels, lightning wheel with "35" on engine hatch, silent choice, depth finder, deck graphics, level III stereo upgrade, XZ drives, factory bimini top with eisenglass/side curtains, factory canvas full mooring cover, labbed props, etc. The only thing it didn't have (I think) was the fans in the cabin. I don't think the 575's would have added 120K to MSRP but I could be wrong. There have been some 2007-2008 leftover 525 staggered 35's advertised in the $175K range lately.

Guess the 'cat is out of the bag' now.

Anyone looking for a super deal should go get my trade from Shogren. Boat is super clean and was always maintained with the intention of owning it a few more years. It is priced according to the current market and is A LOT of bang for the buck.

Sweet Addiction, consider towing yours up there and making a deal !!!

The cat's been peeking out a corner for a while!

Congrats again! It's going to be an ego altering deal for someone.

I know you really liked the idea of the 700's in it when that boat was 1st talked about coming down the factory line. Did you make the deal with the 600's in it or the 7's?

With 700's the boat easily ran into the 120's where it was deemed very unsafe, so it was de-tuned to stay below 120. Legal liability and safety were huge concerns of the dealer and Fountain so as soon as it was traded the factory put 600's in it.
I will set it up to maximize the 600's potential, while keeping the boat safe.
