Default Anyone know this boat?

http://www.ecarlist.com/showroom/1630/photos/1502866#00

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

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...

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.
