Looks like I missed a good one!

Just saw this ad that's sold in Brookhaven Mississippi for what looks like an incredibly good price $26k:.
1995 fountain 32 with brand new twin 502 efi engines
Trailer completely redone as well
Nice sound system

You never know what kind of problems it had. More often than not, a $40k boat priced at $26K likely needs a good $20K+ put into it.

Good point...pictures looked good though.

Amazing how many here on this site see the cheap deal as the good deal even when anyone with a lick of sense can see it will need some money invested in it soon. Pay me now or pay me later, WTF is it that they just don't understand.

Buy a 100K boat for 50K, anticipate that you will need to spend 40 - 50K to get it where you want it. By the time you get done, find all the other chit that made it a 50K boat you will likely spend another 20 - 30K to make it right. Now you have 120 - 130K in a boat that when you bought it a few years back was worth 100K, wow you made one He!! of a deal out of that.
