Don't even think about the #6's and big power upgrade on that hull, in addition every dollar spent on the new driveline and modifications is gone. Your equity position will be less than .20 cents on a dollar after 25 hours.

why is everything always about the dollar, why cant it be about putting together the baddest rig. and he is not doing up the 95, he doing up an older race boat that he is getting for the right price. i feel like im sticking up for you mat, lol.... ill call you tomorrow... dave

Thanks Dave, I knew I could count on you!

How can you put a number on a boat that is that old without looking at it? I mean a Cherry '92 is worth more than a beat up '96.....

mat, are you going to find out whats with my truck tomorrow, or do i have to come down there and mess you up, and take your gladiator for a spin.....lol...

Re: How much trade difference between 95 Top Gun and 03 Gladiator?
 

I always look at the dollar when buying performance.These boats are such bad investments and cash drains, I always try to take the route that would minimize my losses.However,the bottom line is you have to do what makes you happy and that doesnt always make sense.Most of these boats are purchased on emotion.

Re: How much trade difference between 95 Top Gun and 03 Gladiator?
 

are you kidding?????these boats are ALWAYS bought on emotion...they are definitely NOT investments....but they make us happy :) :) :)

Re: How much trade difference between 95 Top Gun and 03 Gladiator?
 

No,I am not kidding.While these boats are bought on emotion,dont tell me that the majority of buyers dont shop around for the best deal and are not concerned with resale value.All I am saying is that anyone who can afford a boat of this caliber usually has the sense to at least make the smartest purchase that they can,usually trying to minimize their losses before they have even bought their boat.
