I would take 16k for mine with the trailer ready to go.

3 covers, sweet stereo, SS props.
Coast guard ready, lines, fenders, flares, everything.

Great boat for handling the rough stuff...expect to see about 60mph...built solid but look for spyders in the gelcoat to be sure there just in-case....probably paid about 45-50 k for it....with todays market clean boats that are in the 20's are actually selling...so if you like the boat a lot...negotiate!

Is that twin 270 motors or twin Nova boats for $25 large?
If you've got $25k to spend on a boat you've got a LOT of options!

I had an opportunity to get a Nova III when I bought my Formula, I didn't like the lines of the Nova!

If you can find a nice formula for around 25k?. I looked at a few 89 272's about three years ago. they were asking 27-30k and had faded interior. not very well maintained. My point is that they do hold there value, but what you really want is a clean boat. Be patient, negotiate, ..its definitly a buyers market........I started off looking for formulas and ended up with a very clean stock 90' 26 nova st. they look much more modern than the nova III. the best part is that for the price , it looks just a good as a formula, yet 10-15 grand cheaper and not that speed is evrything, but I spank small block 272's and run next to bigblock 272's. now is the market to negotiate, stay firm ..don't impulse shop...my 2cents...good luck
