Yea I need to get some pics loaded up. I've been busy just havent had time yet. It's a solid boat needs a few odds and ends to be perfect. But, I'll have her ready come spring!!

I'm told that it's hard if not impossible to get a boat loan on the older stuff.

Are people doing home equity to get the cash? 50k is alot of money to pay cash on a toy that you take a loss on.

If you had cash I'd buy something newer and "Trouble free"

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure its an ex-US Customs boat, for what its worth.

Talked to the Borker that has the 35. back in Nov. 2011 My friend lives by the boat says its in rough shape one motor was not winterized right and was re done. To me that seems as if the owner didnt really care for the boat. Its also listed on this link to boats.com

I sold mine in that price range with documented 500HP'S - posted it on Powerboatlistings and it sold in 3 days......

New owner pulled the wrap - almost makes me wish I would have kept it.



It seems like good deals aren't around long.

Good luck guys.

I agree. My 93 35 Lightning had carbed 502's at 390 hp and did 73-74 with a hand held GPS. Props were 25 if I remember.

Fountain report was 74.

From what I hear he was peeling that wrap before the truck was unhooked

That was a good deal! However, I think it was a fair price for trying to move a boat quickly, and what has to be done to make it "mint" again.

Most of the performance boats out there are still over priced IMO, the good -fair deals don't last long
