It may not be a lightening. I don't know what it is.

Looks like a 38 Fever with an after market arch.

38 Fever With A Fountain Arch Turned Forward

I don't think you'd get hurt at 40-45k, offer 30-35k? Hours on motors would want to know.

thanks, Im looking. I'm hoping to find something with supercharged blue motors with CMIs ready to go. The asset manager in Louisville wrote a poor description as well listing it as a SEARAY Fountain.. Sometimes a seller just doesnt know, other times they play coy and let the buyer beware.

its the louville police boat..WELL taken care off..no problemas as i know of..GOOD DEAL AT 35-40 !

Don Johnson called and said "Thank you" for finding his boat....

i thought don was a wellcraft kinda guy?

He was...I was referring to the 80's style radar arch and the copa cabana interior colors...lol.

Don jumped ship after his dog Chris Craft...

That is a 38 fever.. lightning's have the wrap around windsheild

I would be concerned how are the decals going to be removed after sale as stated.When they take them off if the do it wrong it going to be a mess.

ha ha 7 days left and bidding is up to 49k + taxes and handling fees. There are buyers out there. I havent seen the boat, but it probably has black motors. And what the heck is a police department doing with an expensive racing boat anyway?

Drug bust?

49k holy balls, guess I was low! I'm sure lot's of idle hrs on her also.

Hey... a little info on the boat it was donated to the Louisville Metro Police Department by a local lawyer or businessman (probably looking for a write off). Not sure what motors it has, but inquire about any damage to the sides ( I remember seeing some minor issues), also the boat sat in the Ohio marina last year and the hull was pretty stained. I am in Louisville and would be glad to drop by and take a look at its current condition. My # is (502) 802 8224

I sold the boat new. It was ordered with that arch from the factory. It is a regular Fountain arch that the customer demanded be placed in the reverse direction. You are correct that it was donated to the Louisville PD by the original owner (a local attorney). I remember him spending big $ on the stereo also. The electronics were factory installed. I am sure I have all of the built sheets,invoice,perf report etc. in a file someplace. BTW.......the boat was sold with 500HP carb motors. The extra gauges on the dash are for blower boost and fuel psi. He had plans on adding blowers at a later date and that never happened (as far as I know). It was used very little.

great feedback thanks! I'm passing, but it's good to know there are some buyers out there. I've seen some comparables with asking prices in the $60-80k range, but that is the asking price. Downtown is right, the boat would be a deal in the under $40k range. $49k+ is a little high unless you know the boat.

Wow what a rush watching the bid.. 50.9k up to the last second and went to 77.1k. The bid owner did not change, so someone bid him up $26k at the last second. Someone really wanted that boat.

back on the auction block. guess the 26k wasn't for real? Maybe time for the real players to show up?

now there's a reserve. The description is still wrong. I am betting it will be for sale a little longer.
