Looking to buy a 388
 

Looking for a 388 that I can trade my 2006 Nordic Rage mid-cabin on

Hear there is one around for 65K somewhere floating on the net. Some guy in CT was telling me about it

Ya mike, I would like to find someone willing to do a trade and cash or find a dealer where I could trade mine in, there is a few out there for sale but most of them are brokerage boats. Thanks for the reply, Ted :drink:

anyone seen or heard of anything for sale?

Performance Boat Brokerage will take trades, talk to Brett or Matthew. They are at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri.

thanks slowride, ive been trying to work something out with them........ted

still looking guys......:readinghelp:

National Liquidators here in So Cal has one...

Let me know if you want me to take a look in person. They are 5 minutes from my house. From the pics, I think the drives are mis-matched and the port drive w/ shorty looks f*cked.

thanks ill let you know.....

sold my Nordic, so im on the prowl for a boat, looking for something under 100k

Im telling ya......my old boat/ Hot Shot is a great deal at Performance boat brokerage!!

looks like a nice boat!! i called brett today and he said he had a deposit on it. also whats up with the radio hole in the cockpit? was that something the new owner added?

There was a VHF radio in there that didnt work. I think we yanked it out or he might have. Dont remember. If your looking to spend a little more than 100K I know of a nice 37 Outerlimits for sale.

any pics? and how much more?

Just curious, what kind of speed were you seeing that set-up? Sweet boat!

We ran the boat to 94 with really tired out motors. We rebuilt the motors and sold the boat. I think Brent saw 98-99 with the new motors.

Its actually this boat in the classifieds.

nice lookin boat also, i really hate the side by side seating though, i really cant stop looking at the 388 its just a really sharp boat...

The 388 does have incredible lines!! Have you run one yet?

negitive!! do they handle nice?

Depends on what your looking to do with the boat and how fast you want to go. If you dont boat in huge water and want to run under 90 than its the boat for you!!

well mostly on the ohio river, once or twice a year up in huron and lake st clair, and maybe a couple times a year up in erie, would really like to be in the 90s or low 100 mark, any suggestions? i was really getting tired of being beat up in the 25 footer......

The 388 is a hanful over 90. The only way to fix it is to shorten the strakes from the last step back to the transom. This can only be done on later ones I think 2004 and newer. The bottom was designed to run fast with stock 500's hence alot of stern lift. That 37OL hull is good to 115mph. Do you need a cabin?

ya that 37OL is a pretty nice lookin boat just 40k out of my price range. yes would need a cabin....

Wow that slingshot is beat down! almost bought that boat and it was mint! Customryder owned that boat and it had stock 525 mercs. Traded in for a Donzi ZR
Then the boat went to Trick marine which explains the pumpkin orange trim tabs and shifters.

Any chance you'd be interested in a 2004 344 Cheetah? If so I may have just what you are looking for. Let me know

Pics?

this one is a steal!!!! :party-smiley-004::party-smiley-004:

:bong:

I saw that ad and I thought WTF is he smoking.

Pics are too big. Not sure how to resize them but I did send some to your e-mail address that you sent me.

If you would consider the Cheetah, Here is my boat. Great boat.

i like the cheetah, my only problem is im finding slingshots for the same money as the cheetah.

My buddy just looked at that 388.Both motors needed to be rebuilt.He didi a leak down test on it and both motors had one very weak cylinder like 90 percent leak down..He did say it ran good but then did the leak down.

ya that sucks, i think i was told that the motors only had like 100hrs on em......

Couple more

thanks, the one at shogrens is a nice looking boat

which one??? they have 3.

It is the one that says hot shot. It also has a set of whipples on it.

Price lowered, crazy

I would want a build sheet on the engines however, something does not add up. They are very clean, and it looks like a preffesional rigging....but 700 NA HP out of 502 CU doesn't make a lot of sense.

Looks really clean, and I don't think you can beat that price on a hustler
