99 lightning 35 with HP 500's carb.
 
Looking at a pretty clean 99 35' lightning single step with carb. HP 500's and trailer, fairly low hours. What is a fair price for this boat ?

blownincome 05-02-2012 05:28 AM

On a trailer ? what kind of trailer? options? 60-80k

Todd Robson 05-02-2012 06:21 AM

standard options, race faring. Good, clean steel trailer with surge brakes. 275 hrs., engines have not been apart, but springs have been replaced at 200hrs. with new isky springs.
Pictures look good and clean, taking a 5 hr. drive tomorrow to look at it and just was wanting some ideas as to price to offer if I like it. Prices are all over the place from what I see, 55-70K seems to be the average.

There is one in Northern MI that sounds like what you may be describing. $55k is what seems fair to me in this economy.

Todd, what is he asking for it?

i offered 55K on 3 boats with the exact same setup, hours and year and got turned down. Single step 35s hold there value well with blue motors. I think low 60s will be closer to a bring home $$ amount if the boat is in good condition and good colors

Reggie 05-05-2012 02:30 PM

I would agree, 55K seems to be a saleable price, but if he likes the boat, it will take 60 K plus, they are nice boats, good luck

I have a 98, 35 that has to go. It's very clean and mechanically strong. All the mechanical stuff have been replace, all stock and turn key.

Its listed for 57900 but it's got to go so can can work on the price.

Give me a call (443-883-0665) and I can go over all the details.

Again...I'm ready to make someone an awesome DEAL.

It would have to be one damm sharp 1999 35X with 500 efi's to justify more than $60K in this market. But having said that, I would pay $65K for an exceptional one like the one Ragged and I had.

And you can! It was listed in the classifieds last I looked. Believe the coment was that is is like a brand new 10+ year old boat, we both know that is true.

Joes boat is a nice Single step!!! extension boxes shorties and a fast nice handleing boat .. Joe you forgot to tell everyone it was used in the welcome to Miami Vid!:thankyouthankyou:

sonickevin95 05-08-2012 05:18 PM

In this economy if you are not a cash buyer then the boat is worth whatever the bank will lend you. I have 2/3 of what I was asking for from the bank saved up and they would only lend 85% of used trade in value. And we all know what trade in values look like. Its a real mother trying to get lending which is why the same boats have bin sitting for the last 2-3 years. I had to give mine away which is why I sold in in less then a month. Good luck, 55k seems in the ball park, oh and the gentleman seling from pasadena md for 57,900 has a beautiful boat, I have seen it in person.

sonickevin95 05-08-2012 05:25 PM

There also seems to be an even harder to get lending on a fountain for whatever reason, some have tried to contradict this but i can just tell you what I have went through. As a matter of fact I was approved initially then an underwriter pulled the approval only to make me look like a total @ss in front of the seller. And the person i used got my sonic loan done in less then a week and an approval on a sunsation in the same amount of time, and this person has bin mentioned for there great lending on this website countless times.

I Saw her one time at doco of the bay, I kept my boat right next door. I remember I likes the different colors on it, never seen one with the teal/terqoise colors. I like to give credit where credits due!
