Info on this 38ZR?
Anybody know the boat/own the boat on OSO? Emailed the broker, but didn't get alot of info. Plan to give them a call on it this weekend because it's tough to tell much from the crappy pics. Supposedly, the top ends and drives have been done recently.

The 700 NXT package on the 38 Zr is a great set up.
$159K sounds like a really good deal for it too.
I didn't look close at the ad to see if it came with a trailer.
Hours are important - How many?
Two main things - Survey, Survey, Survey & pressure test the headers (or just plan on replacing them as the Merc. Spec. originals were poor and prone to leak)
As long as it has been serviced properly and not overly tuned up, the 700's, NXTs, and transmissions are great.
A few of my friends have 700 boats tuned up to 850ish and they were popping transmissions until they went with a Bam or other #6 type trans.

Seems to be a really good price! Even shows $155k on the broker website.
A guy I know has a 38ZR 700/NXT package and it is an excellent setup.
Just an observation... the one pic looks like the drives are covered in dust or dirt (just seemed strange to me, its probably nothing)

Priced on the low side for a 700 boat. Should be closer to $200k with that power. Do your homework, could be a deal or ??? If they cannot provide receipts for the work done or at least the parts used, assume it hasn't been done. The seller will be able to round up the receipts even if they are lost, just takes a phone call.

drive thing is weird....if dust????? then the white trailer would have that same covering...but it's pretty damn white. if built up water spots or runs rich.... well the rest of the boat is spotless ---so the owner kept everything spotless but chose not to keep that equipment clean???
awesome package but something seems funky... knowing there is room in the price (always is) that's an amazing price for that package.

There's a maroon one rack stored in cape Canaveral that I have seen out once. 700NXT boat. Or at least I assume 700's as it has NXT drives on it.
Sad it is rack stored in a covered but open backside building with no cover on the boat. I have no idea who's it is.

I think they're just trying to match the tan/dusty look interior with the drives. The boat looks like it was stored in the country (farm field in picture) and gravel lot, easily can see that being dust settling on the drives. Only way to really tell is to go look at it in person.

You guys are freaking out over some dust on the drives. My god.
To me it looks like some dust from either pulling down a gravel driveway/road or the gravel lot the that photo was taken in like Mullen said. Even if it was just stored on a gravel lot with the wind or traffic kicking up dust I could see that as well. I have a gravel driveway...the struggle is real.
