$6k gets you a boat for a couple of hours, not forever.

Can you point me to that ad? I doubt if it's a 28'; they are very rare. The 24's are to 28's like Miatas are to Vipers - both are fun, but VERY different animals. This is not a stripped-down raceboat, so it's very hard to comprehend it unless you've seen it, like SMiklos, Tom A, Expensive Date or Glassdave. Photos don't do it justice.

If the market doesn't support a reasonable price, it stays with me. What the heck - it's paid for.

Sad to see this thread. I was hoping to get a ride on this boat one day. Good luck C. I hope it works out for you.

That is like comparing a '72 Mustang 6 cylinder coupe to a '68 Shelby GT500KR.

They are both mustangs and the '72 is newer......

Do you have a link to the yellow one?

2007 V-28 Vector=Bat boat @phone=928-707-7207 $89,000 Yellow in Arizona I think???I can't find the ad right now??

Ah! Vectors are VERY nice boats. I know Rex Jardine (the owner), and he cuts no corners. Those boats are built from the identical hull and deck molds as mine, but have significantly different interiors, and are (I believe) solid layups. I think I know the boat you're referring to (Teague power). Typical new pricing for those boats is in the low $200k range.

In 2008, Powerboat tested the Vector V-280 with a 700 Ilmor.

The as tested price: $259,000.

Good analogy

No it's like comparing a 2011 Vette to a 1967 VetteNice boat but settle down way over priced!

Chuck,

No harm in asking what you think it worth. It is a unique boat with a great-new power/drive package. I have always like the Bat boats.

A quick Bat boat story for ya, I was at the Miami boat show in 1994 (it might have been 1995). Armada had a bat boat with the Volvo engine package and the duoprop in the water. I went on a demo ride in a 42' Fountain with triple motors and were were running by the cruise ships and along comes the Bat boat, I think Jack Haney of Fountain was driving, and I told him let's smoke that boat (the batboat).....well we never did catch him, and that was in some pretty sloppy water water for that Bat boat (waves had no effect on the 42' Fountain), and I was stunned we could not catch that Armada bat boat, in a triple engine 42' Fountain. I became a believer in the BAT boat that day.

Keep it!
