I can assure you after sitting eight years this boat will need a hell of a lot more than "having the cobwebs blown out of it".

I'm sure it will....Only used it as a figure of speech.....

It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it. It is a staggered 38' lightning with 575s and LOW hours.......very desirable boat.
With the price of gas down and Obama's economy growing at a record pace (hahahahaha) I think there will be a lot more buyers this spring than there has been in a while.
Yes I know there are a lot of good deals out there right now, but we don't know all of the details on THOSE boats either do we?

Good luck with the sale, nice boat! I'd touch up the paint, get the engines started, and start at $95K if it was me. just sayin

And I'll be buying them all for a 1/4 of the price when gas hits $5 a gal in July lol

Sweet ride! Good luck with the sale!

If I were to "blow the cobwebs out" I would drain all the fuel, oil, if not closed cooling system change thermostat, Impeller and definitely, prime the oil pump before turning the key! All oil has definitely drained off critical surfaces. I wouldn't run the engines over 3k without changing the valve springs since they probably have a very bad memory by now. A lifter may not come back either. Nothing is worse than sitting for any mechanical equipment.

Charitable donations of boats is gladly welcome for our shop! Can have the kids learn how to go thru the motors checking them out making sure everything's ok since its been sitting! Lol
