In a strange way you're lucky, if he doesn't give a hoot to spiff up his boat for a showing then he certainly doesn't maintain it. Time wasted but now you're not stuck with a POS.

Did you see the VR 1 in the OSO Velocity classifieds? A little more then you wanted to pay but it looks nice and has a 500 efi Maybe they will deal.

Speaking of 500 efi. What do you look for? Found a boat with a 600 hr 500 efi. Asked if top end was done. He didnt know, but said it runs great. How about the headers on them? Again 600 hrs dont know if checked or replaced. I'm gonna check that Velocity now. Figured this question can pertain to that also. Thanks for the help guys! And indy, thats true what you said. I'm lucky

Update, just picked up a 2000 Sonic 260 prowler. 500 efi needs a little tlc. But a beauty! We're pumped. The transporter just dropped it off at the marina yesterday. If anybody need a great transporter I recommend them highly. Premier Transport LLC. Also thanks to sydwayz for finding this boat on facebook for me!

Fantastic news, this warmed my heart. I sensed you guys really wanted to find a great boat a.s.a.p., and what a perfect model you got yourselves! A large portion of this boating season remains, so I wish you many new memories for life in Your Sonic Gary. Best of luck with making her shipshape and ready. Cheers, Lars.
