No argument, you make a fair point. I think it's a pretty 'stripped down' 35 with very simple paint and basic cabin. Might have been built as a price leader to stimulate the market. If I had a bit less than 200k to spend on a new boat, I'd still give it a look.

The 42 OL GTX with fresh 1075's that Shogren had listed for $149K in January of last year.

I bought a 388 Hustler that was worth the money.

Good point. My first boat was a Donzi and I have always appreciated them. But these days,.. who's building them and how are they being constructed? I cannot say that I am confident that they are of typical Donzi quality and construction.

I thought Cashbars AT with 700’s was a smokin deal.

For me the 38 Top Gun I picked up, after 2 years of looking... I picked up the 87 Gun with dart 548's with tons of good parts in them, speedmaster 3's for at least 20G cheaper then any other speedmaster gun I saw, turn key water ready after sitting a few years... I think that was a great deal!

Blown Income was a SMOKIN deal.... if it had a cabin I would have gone after that.... Bad medicine Apache sold cheap to a buddy of mine also a great deal... they are out there if you look hard enough....

Friend of mine sent me pics of a 2000 37’ AT with twin 500 efi’s for 64k which I thought was a good deal. Came on a welded trailer. Not sure if it’s still available.
