Cheap MTI?
 

I just came across this on yachtworld.com
http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listi...75&slim=quick&

seems pretty inexpensive for an MTI. Might be nice for anyone in the market for a 42.

Call them and tell them to keep the drives and engines. Then maybe I can rig it myself.
Love to have that Hull!!! I got just the Hardware for that! Guess I'll keep dreaming. :evilb:

Re: Cheap MTI?
 

Whatcha need to know about it?
Hull is stamped a 2002, but was built very late in the year.
575's with BMaxes.

It is actually "not still for sale" but as you know, EVERYTHING is for sale.
Been in salt only a couple of times. 90% of its boating has been freshwater.
Was going to be sold to make room for another 42MTI, but that deal fell thru. A legitimate buyer for this boat would probably make the original deal a "go" again.

Very sweet boat.

Re: Cheap MTI?
 

mc, is the boat from the 575 thread?

Re: Cheap MTI?
 

I have a #6 42'MTI I would let go without power and drives for $300K that is in great
shape.

Mc, what was Dick Simon's roll in the deal?

Re: Cheap MTI?
 

since we are talking about cheap mti's, anybody have a cheap 39 PR w/o power....?

Re: Cheap MTI?
 

yea..if you are serious call me and I will turn you on to a SMOKIN deal.. 419-509-1882

42,

J was looking to get the boat some ad time when the RB boat was "being bought". I wasn't aware of the Simon ad. Spoke with J three times over the weekend, and he hadn't mentioned it. I'll drop him a line tomorrow to see.

My guess is that he planted the boat there to test the water (dunno how long it has been on DS site, like I said I was unaware it was on there). I do feel that it would take that to buy the boat to put him in the position he wants to be in for the RB boat.

He'd consider selling less power as well. Bout the same $$ as yours.

Guys, 42MTI's boat is a nice unit by all accounts I've heard. So is the one in the ad.

I know Chris Reindl has a 39' with no power and drives that is a nice boat that I think he is looking to sell.......

Re: Cheap MTI?
 

mc, I don't know if it is on their site but when I clicked on the site above and scrolled down it said for info to contact dick simon.

I'm in about his same situation. I love my boat with no complaints but a new boat would be fun,probably a sit-down MTI. Not sure it would be worth the added expense though.

Re: Cheap MTI?
 

i don;t know if i'd call anytihing over 300k "cheap"

Re: Cheap MTI?
 

i guess it is all relative... but a 300k MTI would be a "cheap" MTI...

Re: Cheap MTI?
 

ssssshhhhhhh!!! don't tell anybody else.... :evilb: :D :evilb:

Re: Cheap MTI?
 

Having looked at the back and sides of 42MTI's boat for 1500 miles, it is a very nice boat.

Re: Cheap MTI?
 

I know this boat and it is a nice piece. I dont know about 114? My buddy always passed him in the 105 to 110 range. As a matter of fact I have it on video. I would say 114 would be perfect conditions. Needs HP and 6's.

Re: Cheap MTI?
 

Got that covered all I need is check.

Re: Cheap MTI?
 

Hey big guy how you doin. I'm going to try and get you a tilt trailer to look at next time.

Re: Cheap MTI?
 

Thunder,

111 is the best I have personal knowledge of the boat going (light fuel load, two people, 5 blade Hydros). 105 is its "usual" loaded speed, and the higher numbers (114) were with a borrowed set of Herings in St. Louis on a 50 degree day (I did not witness that). The boat *finally* has its own set of Herings after three wrong shipments of props from the factory. Should run between 111 and 114 with those props. The props arrived after the last outing of the season.

The boat gets to 100 quickly and with a pretty stout load of fuel and people. The remaining speed comes slowly but steadily.

i talked to chris today about his 39, thanks packinair...

Re: Cheap MTI?
 

So enlighten us, always curios if there is going to be another mti running around as well as what their bringing dollar wise.

Re: Cheap MTI?
 

was it what you were looking for??

Re: Cheap MTI?
 

packin'
yep, something to build for some serious poker running... probably will go up there next week to look at it....

42mti,
it is a 39 canopied no motors/drives setup, raced a couple of times.... would be a fun poker run rocket :evilb: :eek: :evilb:

Re: Cheap MTI?
 

These prices are getting really attractive. But honestly still out of my reach.
I have two 1000hp,s with trimable Arnesons Ready to go on my future cat someday.
Gotta keep saving or knock over a bank!
Oh yeah wife says gotta have a cabin.
I guess its coming down to paying cash for a old project or financing a late model.

Re: Cheap MTI?
 

Sean H,
This is the boat from the 575 thread.

Just like many of us in fast boat land, he hasn't made up his mind.
He's either gonna sell it intact and buy another MTI with huge power.
or
Keep it like it sits.
or
Throw bigger motors in it.

I know he would consider a DIRECT offer of "less" than what it is listed for, but if it goes thru a broker, the listed price is rock bottom.

I'll be happy to hook you guys up. I'm kind of ready for him to get started in a definite direction, whichever way it ends up...
