IMHO I wouldn't be looking at a 38' for a quick flip. Smaller boats are easier to move these days.


When I worked we used to call that "the pyramid of affordability" more people can afford a $50K boat than a $100K boat.

It was behind Mark & Eileens house in Key largo on the lift. I'm not sure it was really 'for sale" in the usual way. It is clean for sure. Also, the old price was with no trailer.

I already have a line on a storage facility from November through March.
Now, if you are looking for something to use and abuse while you are there to learn the waters, that's different, maybe we could partner on a boat like that.

The Skater is going next year no matter what. I have 2 bucket list items I knocking off (KW and Miami Boat Show run). I'm thinking long term about a less expensive, more "I don't care" type of boat I / we could trade every couple of years.

Hey Ortho, Taking a guess here.........If it's equipped with Mercury Racing power and drives (insert high end powerboat here) it will have better resale value. Power and drives are a big $ part of the game. There are members on the board that change powerboats quite often.....they would know best, of course.

you will not lose a dime on any boat if you buy it right.

except that one.....salt water submarined then stripped/repo'd and patched back together. When it was 4 years old it had 400 hour 525's, brand new XRs (theft replacement), cold a/c and genny with a flat screen on the wall and it sold for 150K.....The best thing about this boat now is the power!

Kinda like a red 36 skater at Texas repos.
