Elmer is a good friend of mine.... the boat he has is well known as the ex Bacardi Silver and now Wicked..... if you are worried about a canopy or 700's not being enough or being in over your head money wise.... it's not the boat for you...someone who wants that boat is a specific buyer just like an Apache buyer.... there are 18 different views on the worth of a piece of equipment it comes down to how bad you want that boat.... I don't know off the top of my head of a boat that has been gone through and is as in mint shape as Wicked....on the other hand here is a great deal http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o57533-en.html and you are boating tomorrow ........ but what do I know all I have is a canoe :P
Jeremy (BraceYourSelf) has spent hundreds of thousands on offshore boats, pretty sure he made a few calls before reaching out to Elmer on the boat. He got buried in the last boat (Cig 46) so I'm pretty sure he knows what things cost and what these are worth on the used market regardless of how shiny the paint is!

Your buddy has a nice boat but it is going to take a pile of money to get it back in the water......hence the offer.

You guys need to read the actual ad. I know the boat and all it needs is motors and trans

I did make calls on the boat. I would of paid 200K for the hull. I had no trade, cash deal, and pick it up this week. I figured I'd have 350K into it. My concerns were that it was a canopy, ex race boat that was rolled, and sixes that lived behind some big power. At the end of the day I was going to give it a whirl. The problem is the right buyer for wicked is beyond a slim market, but what do I know. I think the boat unrigged will not sell for more then 200K and rigged with fresh everything will struggle to bring 300K and when I was ready to sell I'd of dumped it for 200K max if I was lucky.

Your prob pretty close with your numbers. I will say that near everything exhaust included
Is fresh. That's how I sold it and Elmer has only made it better ( trailer)
But. Your right. It takes the right buyer for a canopy pleasure boat.
Had I to do it over, I might have kept it and converted it to a pleasure 4 or 5 place. No lid
