I don't remember a single person buying a new performance I/O Vee bottom after 180+ posts. My point then and now is: If people won't buy new I/O vee bottoms with a fantasy 500K budget then what are the chances of them doing it with their own money? Slim.

Clean I/O stuff has definitely popped in value in markets like LOTO, the clean stuff with stock Merc power will always pull a premium but I don't think it is the general rule on the whole market. There are plenty of tired Fountains/Sonics/Bajas lingering in the classifieds. Not too much demand for 20+ year old triple 500 Fountains with bravos.

you just killed me...

Getting some PM's and leads on some boats that would fit my needs. Looks like they are out there, just not advertised here.

On that note, I am going to wait a couple months and see what happens with politics and the economy. I spoke to my brother and he thinks I'm crazy to buy another boat right now and I should invest the money in gold or even Bitcoin. He bought a bunch of Bitcoin in September and it has more than doubled since then. I could invest, even short term and make enough to buy a boat on the earnings and keep the original investment going. Maybe give it 6 months and see what happens.

It's not listed at this time. As I said the engines are fresh and haven't been reinstalled. So, truthfully I wasn't sure how to list it. Whatever you want to know I certainly can fill you in.

sadly you missed the chance to invest if you haven’t done so already...everything is stretched to the Max right now. it’s a risk on environment. Might be fooling yourself with making substantial gains in the next 4-6 months.
