They are asking 79k so depending on what a valve/top end rebuild would cost will determine the how much for me. Obviously price is important, just dont want something that has not been maintained or "hopped up" to much. I would rather have the upgrades done myself after the purchase.
Again, thanks for the input guys!

That is a good price for a Pristine 2000 38. If it needs anything.. Get that deducted. Check the screws in the out drives.. Oil etc. It is a great boat. You should be able to use it for a season w no repairs at that price. Then you can build your motors over the winter.. Hope this helps..

It's seen 93 at sea level. 88 here in Idaho w/ not running the correct props to acheive enough rpm. When It's dialed, I beleive it will see the north side of 93 here.

nice

mcprodesign, since we've hyjacked this thread what are you running for outdrives, gear ratios, props and speed? After running it yesterday "lightly" it seems I will be hitting the rev limiters before my sticks are close to being buried and a set of 30's will be the starting point not the 28's I have now but we'll see.

You said HP500 and 2001, just wanted to make sure it doesn't have 500 EFI's in it. The EFI motors seem to get drug into the valve spring issue and from my experience they don't need them at 300 hours like the 500HP's do.

32p is the number.. And I never tried 4 blades yet. 94.8 w 5 blade maximus. 93.4 w 6bl hering. I'm gonna try a set of 5 bl hering 32 next. I have -2 sportmasters on xr drives just below the surface
