2003 lightning value?
 

hey guys looking for some help. What would a 2003 38 lightning be worth with 500 efi's and xz drives. Around 50 hours. Trailer included. 85-90? Looking to pull trigger pretty quick.

I am guessing without knowing the boat or condition, but 70-100K I got to call you out a little only 50 hours????? In 7 Years??? Just a heads up if I looked at any boat with that ratio I would breakout the scanner on the EFI motors.

help?:party-smiley-004:

That sounds like a pretty dam good deal to me. All depends on the condition its in.

this looks like the deal for something that meets all your specs...... http://www.boattrader.com/listing/20...tning-96534336

also suncoast has a 04 38 w/525's for $129k ask, that has been around for awhile so they might listening to offers............

looking
 

Thanks for thw quick reply guys. Looking to step up from my 33 outlaw to a 38 lightning. The 04 is a nice ride to.

Ad says they are down to 95K now and taking offers on that 04.

38 isn't staggered, is it? IMHO, staggered is the way to go. Way easier to work in the engine compartment. Read that story about the sunk Formula 412 due to a bad bilge pump hose. That's an example of the kind of thing that's easy to see in a staggered set up, and impossible on side-by-side. Really: there is absolutely no way to inspect or repair the bilge pumps on my boat without removing at least one engine, and sometimes both!

latter 38's came in both a 'SEMI" staggered and then full Staggered.
Not sure what years.

Looks like in 04 they were staggered.

Surprized that boat does not have staggered set up bieng a 2004??Is that the norm?95k does look like a good price for sure also does not state what type motors in boat does it have motors?:party-smiley-004:

If you look at the other one the motors are staggered but not moved in.

it has 500 efi;s

Was it a re-rigged with 500efi's? A 2003 Lightning should be a short stagger 525efi boat.

The one at Suncoast is a fantastic freshwater boat;-) It could go for lots less than $129! Lots less! It is the semi staggerd style with 525's.

500 effies were ab option in 03 as well as the 525s

what do you guys think of the suncoast boat? Im shopping.:coolcowboy:

if you have the money, get the 525 boat.....

Where's a link to the suncoast boat?

THE ONE AT SUNCOAST IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. IT CAME FROM CHICAGO AND HAS NEVER BEEN WET IN THE SALTY STUFF. IVE SEEN IT PERSONALLY AND IF HAD THE CASH IT WOULD BE MINE.

95000 for a 38 lightning damn thats cheap

or if you wanted bigger heres a 42 w/525's at shogren for $129K

Does Suncoast have a web site?

punch in suncoast powerboats. It should be the first one that comes up

you can find the one at Suncoast by going to yatchworld.com The 38 with 500 efi's is sold. The suncoast boat has been in salt a few times and he won't go less that 110k on the boat and there are over 300 hours on that 04 with 525's.
