Ad says "buyer with performance boat exp preferred".
With that asking price I would think the less someone knows the better off seller is. LOL

I bought that very same model boat back in 2000 ordered brand new from the dealer with a 500 efi on an Eagle trailer for $77K - all covers included. Sold it two years later for $53k. This one looks to me like a prime example of a forced spousal sale! "Sure Honey, I'll put the boat up for Sale - tough market though. It might take a while."
I have a dock mate on Cumberland who does that with his cruiser. Every so often his wife gets P/Off with partying on the dock and demands he put it up for sale. He hangs a sign on it asking 40% more than the boat is worth and waits her out. Eventually she changes her mind and the For Sale sign goes back in his locker
Every time I see a crazy stupid price like that I assume that is what's going on.

Could be that, or could be he suffers from the disease that a lot of folks suffer from in this area....."its worth way more because it is mine"
