That was my buddies boat for quite a few year. He sold it probably 3 years ago. I know when he sold it it had 600hrs on it I believe. I will tell u when he owned it it was in better shape than most boats with half the hours! He kept it very clean.

Well just on the looks of the pics, and barring a survey, comparisons of similiar year and model, the price isn't bad at all. I can have those motors refreshed for 3k max each. I have not seen a similiar year and model for under 95k, but who knows the drives could be shot or something major with the engines. It does look like it was taken care of cosmetically and "usually" translates into mechanically also.

Need a better engine pick with the hatch all the way up and straight down were the sea strainers would be .A real pick of the drives from from the side,
The trim tab cable were it goes thru the transom there is a black nut that hold sthe gasket thingy, it had hull cleaner acid on it,its bleached white,mine was the same way,
The head rest Hustler doesent seem bleached, I cleaned my so much ,mine faded had to get new ones.

no trailer, used one would be around,6500.
I hope the took the cockpit cover off to take picks?deck looks repainted, no graffix,new style shifter,throttles.transom looks worn,rusted tail pipes,prop hubs,missing black cap on trim ram,tab nuts bleached out like other one,Is that a gage above the thermostat???fuel?I thinking theses pictures are hiding the condition,need better picks.you can ck the hours as long as the computer hasn't been reprogrammed
keep shopping

I came to the same conclusion on the price of the trailer. I've seen some used 500efis for about $10k so I would be swapping out the motors anyway. That would put my bid around $45k, still up in the air about this one, I don't looking around for a trailer, PIA.
