fountain 24cs whats it worth
 

i found a 24cs for sale close to home boat is red on red and in better then average shape, well taken care of it has 400 hrs on it . it has the original 502 with some modifications and dyno sheets showing 536 hp . he says it does about 76-78 mph with little gas and just him in the boat has 3 covers 2) 4 blade props trailer is also like new also mag wheels and new tires .he's asking $20000.00 i don't see hardly any for sale and don't know if it because no one ever sells them or no one wont's them . any info would be appropriated thanks

At 20.000, I would have bought if I were you and you like the boat. This is a esy-to-own boat and it is very cool :) I think there was a red/red boat like that in the brochure one time. I bet there have now been many red boats made..... Good luck!

I paid more than that for my 97. It's damn clean, starts easy, and I couldn't be happier.

I'm getting 65mph on a 24p B1 prop, and 13.5% slip. Mid 70's with a 28p and a light load seems doable.

I bought one last year. 454 magnum with 375 hours. all original and in great shape. $20,000

I did buy it local from a friend and he paid $25,000 for it 2 years before i bought it from him. It is currently having all the stripes sanded off and getting a good buffing. I didnt like the outdated look of the stripes but other than that i love the boat. There is a thread somewhere on here where Pier 57 is redoing one..... it looks absolutely amazing.

The peir 57 boat is sweet.......coolest 24 i've seen

thanks for all the input . the peir57 boat is hot but looks expensive ?? i'm pretty sure hes asking a lot more then $20000. for that . still it seems like an o/k deal but not a great deal . O well still thinking on it let u know what i decided

I will say that the 24 cs's are very sexy boats. They have some curves that other F's don't have. I have climbed a on a few here locally trying to help a friend buy one. Unfortunately none of them were taken care of. Of course the owner thought they were VERY well taken care of, but thats always the case right????

Good luck, i don't think you can go wrong if you find a good one. Especially with that much horsepower. Thats a lot of horsepower in a great boat for not a ton of money.

Ihave a friend that had one and put a pro charger on it , the boat would run around 100 , I never road in it , had several chances to drive it , But My balls were not big enough in that size boat . But to watch it it ran great and handled small chop well.

What drive is on the boat in question?
