To put new boat prices in perspective, when a base 21’ Boston Whaler is priced at over $100,000, a pre-owned Gladiator or other 2000 to 2010 Cigarette is a deal.........

A buddy went to the Louisville boat show and said they are financing $150K+ Wake Board boats with 20 Year Loans. Imagine paying on a boat for 15 years and you go to sell it and still have 5 years of payments to reconcile before you can

Yep, A left over 24' Baja outlaw 2019 that was advertised.....no trailer. Is going for close to 90K. So with trailer and tax you are into it for 100k. So depends on what you want.

A 200k loan at 6% for 20 years is another 136k in interest for a total of 336k.

No Biggie. Buy a Boat they said......It will be fun!.......

I think most of us know the outcomes. Especially the ones who have Multiple Performance Boats.

Mercury Says "THE RACE NEVER ENDS"......................

Owners Say....THE SPENDING NEVER ENDS.

Talk about supply and demand. There isn't even one 39 Unlimited offered For Sale in the OSO classifieds right now. ZERO.

New listing on facebook "Passion for Powerboats" for those interested.

This thread is right up ally. I bought a Gladiator, "on a deal" lol It had hurt motors...I spent some coin getting them right... both motors where fresh-up... 540's - Whipple over 700hp each... on the dyno
N O W ...
Its time to do the drives... Because its eating ZR's so upgrade time AGAIN...
IMCO new bad A$$ drives ... scx dual down shaft complete drives, helmet, reservoir, making the hydr steering work with new drives, tie bar.... etc etc

All the money that will cost, will not up the value of my boat... to what i will have in it... It will make the boat more dependable... but spending 40k for new drive set up will not make my boat worth 40 more thousand
But, as this tread started out .... still cheaper then buying a new boat...
I guess if i ever decide to part ways with my Gladiator... it would be more desirable with IMCO drives...
