when joe took me out in key west and let me get behind the wheel it was an amazing boat. being a die hard cat guy and v-hull hater:p I was VERY VERY impressed. the only VERY annoying part was when we got back to the dock and I was ready to go bar hoppin Joe "wasted" hours flushing and cleaning every damn inch of the boat (even the damn engines)and cut well into my drinking time.

im curious what kind of financing a guy could get on your boat.
term , % , payment amount?
insurance?
might help to post that kind of info too.

OK, I'll bite..$65K..cashiers check subject to a survey and water test.

At least you had an offer today.

I would guess about 5.75-6% on 10 years

Von Bongo -

Would that mean a killer deal for me next month on your Pantera? Hope to see you at LOTO!!

said it best ..
"Know when to hold em , Know when to fold em , know when to walk away and know when to sell your boat to the best offer ":D :D

The economy is So bad now esp for middle class people.

THe Post Office is considering laying off. We haven't laid off people ever in over 200 years.

i know it cuts into my time too!

i have no idea about terms and that stuff...have not had a boat loan in some time for one reason or another.

65??...if i HAD to take 65 then i would have to sell the race boat long befor that and keep the AT. but THANKS a ton for the offer!

Joey, here is the way I look at it, for $125K (probably less) I can have the 2002 37 AVH with 496 HO's with 120 hours...the delema is is are 2 years, 5 feet and cloosed cooling worth $24K? You can argue engines, but any modified engine is worth less unless an engine builder I know and trust did the work, or I have to budget for the worst, that I will have to have someone go through them, but that is just how I think.

As a buyer, that is the delima that I look at when looking at used boats.

One additional (small) comment - graphics. Joe's boat is fairly well-known and is directly tied to him; everyone knows him as "Audacity Joe", the race team is "Audacity Racing", etc. Maybe it's just me, but if I was thinking about buying that boat, I'd have to factor in the cost of painting over the graphics and/or getting them modified.

This kind of goes back to Too Old's point - it's a buyers market, and unless someone just *has* to have your particular boat, they can afford to shop around. Seems like a lot of guys have boats that have been for sale for a while; hopefully things will turn up soon.
