Looking for 35-42
 

Looking for 35-42. Right now I'd like 91 and up for newer cabin interior. Budget is at 40k. If it's advertised I've seen it. Looking for those that may not be currently advertised. Thanks.

I'm sure you already know but that's a tough price range for a twin engine sport boat. My scarab was in that price range and I looked at a lot of boats back then. That was in 2011 when boats were cheaper too. If I could go back to that time I would have bought an older nicer boat or a twin small block 32 fountain. I think they are a lot of boat for the money. (In the 40's for a nice one).
But back to your question can you wrench on your own? Are you ok with something that needs work out if the gate?

I can wrench on anything. I've found several that fit my criteria. I'm not in a rush. I'll find the one I want. Lol.

There was a yellow 40 forsale out by loto. Did you look at that one?

If I'm not mistaking that was the yellow 12 meter. Want 91 and newer. Better interior. Like I said if it's been advertised I've seen it. This post is to see if there are any that aren't advertised. Sometimes people are on the fence or haven't got around to listing it yet. That's what this post is checking on. Not for boats already advertised I know how to search every single boat site for listed boats.

Sent you a PM I.C.U.

I understand I just responded because I hadn't seen it forsale for awhile and was not sure if you had started to look since the listing has been taken down.

I appreciate it. I've only kinda been looking for a few years and saving since divorce. Lol. Budget was going to be a lot higher however the oilfield plummeted. So budget is lower. Lol.

Think you already bought, but...

Thanks everyone. Yes I did buy. 1995 35. Redoing both motors as we speak. Bought knowing and with the intention only doing the motors so all good.

pics?

Congrats. What is wrong with the engines.

Congrats. Any details on the boat / engines?

It's a 95. 35. 502 mag mpis. One fired right up and sounded good. The other had water ingestion and was milkshaked. Pulled both motors doing brand new GM shortblocks. 2.3l sidemounts. The existing shortblocks are rebuildable and I have interest in them. It was for sale on PBSS on Facebook. Has the blue wrap on it currently.

Not sure how far you want to travel, but there was a 97ish 35 lightning for sale that is just up the road from me. Not sure if it has sold, but it was advertised on powerboat listings over the winter. I think he was asking mid 40s. I believe it has 500 bulldog carb engines. I can tell you I know the owner, although not very well, but we always use the same boat launch and I know when he uses it on the weekends. He probably uses the boat 1/3 of what I use mine, and he rarely goes more than 10 miles from the launch, and I don't think I've honestly ever seen him run it WOT.

If you read the post above you'll see I already purchased. Thank you for the info though b

Congrats man, I think you've been looking since I joined.......lol

Just did, my bad, good luck with the new purchase!

On and off. More so planning. Got serious this year. Had to deal with a divorce and then work in upgrading captains license and then oil plummeted. Lol. Plenty of setbacks. Keep trudging forward. I'm just glad I'll be in a boat at or below market value with totally fresh power and drives. Lol

I hate you.

Hahaha.
