Anyone know this boat?

Did anyone here have it? seen it? background on it? salt?
Says motors were rebuilt at Derebery. Gauges show 80 some hours? seems a little odd.


Dealership selling is out of Dallas I guess.


Any help is appreciated.
thanks

Looking at the drives I would say salt.

I was afraid of that...external steering looks pretty ate up also. And the top deck looks like it has some heavy oxidation...

Probably another car dealer that took it on trade and beat it up while they had it and waiting for someone to come in an impulse buy their first boat...

im here in dallas if you need somebody to go take a look and rattle cages for ya...

The bilge in the engine compartment looks pretty dirty and like it has had a significant amount of water in it. The trim along the window looks pretty beat up as well. Not sure how you scuff the trim up there other than having it get caught under a dock at low tide and the tide came up or something. What do they want for it?

So what's the asking price? Before everyone beats the boat to death might it help to know "how much" ? Might be a deal on a diamond in the rough. A 38 short staggered set up is a real nice ride, and 500 EFI's are not the nightmare as mentioned, I'd take them over 496's any day.

I believe they are asking 89k.

Bring it down to reality price and lets talk. Newer, staggered set up with 500s or 525s is what my eyes are on. We are off at 80k for a 2000 model year Has yours been in saltr? EVER?

I have seen the 38 at Dereberys several times. Inside is clean and has AC. THe boat sat outside for at least a year and a half. Tried to buy it when it was all oxidized and tired looking but owner wanted a whore house price. PM TxHawk, he can give more insight to it than I . Our boat building is directly across from Dereberys yard.
