That's Tony's boat. Screen name is ALL IN. Tony is a friend of mine and Boatmasters is like 2 miles from my office. Pretty nice boat for the money. 502s that I think are fresh. Bravos and imco steering. Maintained by Simmons Marine/ Simmons Racing aka P4 world champs for too many years too count. Let me know if I can help.

Paul, that looks nice and clean.
Those 502s should be fairly dependable, and easy to build on if wanted.
Price seems fair.
You can finance an 18yo boat?? good for you!

Guy that bought our 1993 42 got a loan and I can send you the contract info. I was surprised he pulled it off on a 17 year old boat. It still can be done.

Thanks guys for all the info. I called simons and they said it was a solid boat and they had done extensive work to it. Pending a compression test and some more mechanical and hull inspections I think ill go for it. Im not a rich man so financing to get my dream boat is my only option.But im a 24 year old bachlor with no kids or mortgage so ill survive. Dollar bank gave me the OK. 6k down at 6.25% credit score over 750. After its all said and done im sure this one will put me in the broke boaters club like 80% of the community haha. Ill be up at boatmasters tomarrow AM going over the motors. Im going from a 24 foot BBC checkmate to this monster. Any input on additional fuel costs ECT? Am i in for a shock?
Purple haze i think im the guy that caught you coming in on 1 motor in august I think. Beautiful boat!

Nice looking boat! If it is your dream then go for it, life is way too short to be looking back wondering ......... What if ?

Have the survey done, you should be able to head off any surprises, good luck with your deal!
