42 Lightning
 

Does anyone have any info on the 2000 Lightning with no power in Lake Havasu? It's advertised with no power with staggered setup. Thanks for any info Joe https://www.offshoreonly.com/classif...50-o71119.html

link?

looks pretty decent, trailer to, bravo boat ??

With over 3000 hits nobody knows anything about this boat? Hmmm

So how much do you think it would take to put drives and engine in it say you were the type of person that would have to drop off to Eddie young and pick it up when ready.

Then how much would it be worth? Asking because a friend said no way to much money.

One could go buy the crimson tide boat with 700hp 575s, bmax drives with imco short lowers and tons of trick billet and powedercoated upgraded parts and dash etc for probably 70k. It was a staggered 42 lightning that needed a paint job. You can get big power #6 boats in the low 100s. But the time you buy this for 40k spend 20k on brand new XRs for the worst option. Then depending on power fresh from eddie another 60k easy probably and then it's still ugly and still a bravo boat. This deal is pretty much only good for someone with an old straight bottom donor boat of some sort with good power and drivea

If its cut for #6's you could easily spend 40k on gimbles and drives

He is not opposed to big power 6 boats. What ones are available in the low 100’s that don’t need a ton of work?

We are on the hunt and have seen some junk out there.

I didn’t want to be the first one to say it but terrible deal!!

Where's ad for Crimson boat?

Didn't you sell a 42 that needed engines?

Around what did it go for, didn't it need a dash, interior or not? Trying to help with a budget, this guy got screwed on a set of motors that cost him a bunch to make right.

Little gun shy of buying a boat with "good motors" rather then have his own built.

WG,
Yes he did get screwed, big time!!!

Thats my old boat , I sold it to a Michael in 2014 from OH or IND without power no drives just the Stainless Marine manifolds & exhaust he rigged it ran it and then traded it for a 36 Nortech cat . It ran 113 114 when I had it with Eddies engines around 980hp each & SCX -4 drives 1.34 gears #6 props . over 13k in exhaust there all new gauge cluster Eddie put in , boat was re rigged by fountain before I bought it in 09 from triple to full stagger .

So you had it from 09 to 2014? Was there any problems with the transom that you know of? Thanks

Yes spring of 09 I believe till spring of 14 , no transom problems looks like he spent a lot of money on it also wonder why the hatch does not match very well .
