I have one that I am thinking about selling. It needs to be cleaned up and has a few of the typical issues - but it also has the Carbed HP500's with fresh top ends (one season) and Bravo Drives, brand spanking new windshield and stereo. I think it will be priced right, it is not a fire sale - not hell bent about selling it but am also looking to move up to a 42.
Steve - Did Mike ever send you some pics? I have been busy with work and have not had a chance to follow up.
Good luck with your search guys.

Nice boat but the price is related to the fact that it only has 496's and bravo 1's and no HP transoms. Kinda like owning a corvette with a 305.

All the new Ex comes with 496s, Ive only seen a few with 500EFIs. Most of the Ex (with the 496) is priced 90k +/- 10k
There is only a few mph difference too, I can live with that.
They way I see it the 496 is an economical, realiable, almost bulletproof engine

The 496 is a great motor. you asked why was some boats were more money. I was just pointing out that that 2007 had bravo 1's and regular transoms, not the hp transoms and bravo XR's. Big price diff. If you push those drives to what that hull can handle you will quickly find out why the boat was priced that cheap. Just saying.

The Ex and pre 1999 lightnings all come with bravo one as standard. A lot of Ex are priced around 100k with the same setup, 496 - bravo one. But they are not selling either..
