IMO price is to much. Owner claiming 7gph at 40mph is WAY off. Probably more than double that.

For a 25ft boat of that year maybe 25k just my .02

To much coin. I wouldn't be concerned with a step bottom or not. Just get the boat you want for the price you are happy with. I started with a 1992 26' Thouroughbred (Velocity) but wanted to fly so I bought a cat. Best of luck on your hunt and keep us posted as to what you buy.

That thing looks CRAZY clean for a 94. Couple things, in case you are/werent aware, the 525Sc is not 525 hp as the ad states, it is 490, They are a very good reliable package and make a decent platform to build on if one was inclined. That being said, the boat is a 94 so IMO the price is high, however, if you like something enough...............it is worth exactly what the highest bidder is willing to pay.

I would say it is worth around $25k. The 27 never pulls a lot of money, because the 29 rides better and is faster with the same power. I also suspect that the boat won't run anywhere near the 78mph claimed top speed. Probably more like 72mph.

$20k for a 97 stepped hull. No relation to boat/seller.
That's steep for the age. Like others have said, if that's what you like, it could be worth every penny to you.
Do some more shopping. I paid $35k for my first Fountain- 99 29' 525 SC. Just saying.
