Yes it is a HUGE boat!! He plays on the St. Croix were a lot of us do ;) I forgot what the cuddy height was but a grown ass man can stand up in it! There are quite a few guys running the 500 / bravo package on the St. Croix. No big drive issues. Just dont WFO it out of the hole.
He is the 4th boat in. This is from last years Chili feed.

No body of water... What about the UFO? He runs out 150 ish on the River (was 170+ but the owner put smaller props on it for the kid...........)

That's a better deal than I got on my boat. Not to mention a whaler can't sink

I was going to say that the formula 400ss had 525 or hp 500 in them. But is set up like a cruiser and still did around 45-50+ . May not be a race boat but if you have a cabin you ain't got a race boat either. I kinda like that thunder

That's got to be a misprint?. One too many zeros (maybe two). Good luck if he gets a buyer!

Would this thing even get on plane with twin 500hp and how long would the Bravo last. The boat is HUGE, not sure what its doing in Minnesota no body of water around here for it.

you'd be surprised how well those BT's run with mild power.

No.......he really wants almost 50k!

A few years ago at the Lauderdale boat show there was a vendor selling over restored Boston Whalers but even then they were expensive (but 15k cheaper than this guy). They pulled the deck, redid the foam etc. The problem is that you can easily find mint 15 year old 17 Whalers for 10-14k and they are essentially the same boat (17 hull changed in 2003, first time major redesign). So even adding a new 4 stroke/trailer you still would be 1/2 of this guys price and have a lot newer boat!

I admit to not knowing the U.S. boat market like you guys do but that has really blown me away.
I think I'll sell my gold mines and oil fields and invest in used Boston Whalers. They're becoming classics like old Cigs and Donzis or maybe even Riva's....!

Don't dump your gold just yet......that guy still needs to find a buyer that will pay almost double what you can buy a brand new 17 Whaler for at any boat show in the USA! :D

This guy is going for the gold medal........38 Top Gun (really looks like a 38 flat deck) and a F350 combo package at 175K......no mention of the actual year of the boat or truck and two pics of the boat.
