What would it cost to finish?

(Something that would be a dependable, not to loud, bullet-proof, weekend cruiser. Maybe even pull a skier once in a while.)

Thanks ahead of time!

I would put a couple of outboards on it if it were me. The boat can be rigged w/ IO or Outboards.

THEJOKER,

What size outboards?

Twin Merc 300xs outboards on a bracket with hydraulic jackplates?

I would recommend getting the factory to install interior,then cost of rigging depends on how exotict rigging job you are looking for,hydraulic steering? k-planes? indicators?lab prop? quality of gauges and controls,just like building a house the options start adding up.I do have a low hour(130hr) complete merc 500efi,merc its and xr sportmaster package that would make a great,reliable package for that boat,would make someone a great deal to install and rig complete boat,would make a nice boat that should run 80 or so and be extremely reliable.Dave 410-956-5381

Rick Turmel or Tyler Crockett would be my choice for rigging. There are many other qualified people on this board that do great work though. We can handle seats , interior or anything else you need. The MDG Perf 500 efi would be a great pkg. Miklos set the kilo record in 1998 in a 26 at 83 mph w/ a 500 Merc carb.

Just looking at the ad in the classifieds, do I understand it correctly? The 26' no power is $22,000 and the 28' no power is $48,000. It just seems like the 26' is a MUCH better deal unless the 28 is wwaayyyyy more boat. Just wondering.....

It is alot more boat. Wider beam, more freeboard, cabin, and bad a$$.

Sorta like the difference between a 24' Pantera and a 28' Pantera??

And by the way, whatcha planning on doing with those "Apache molds" listed under your name? hehe

The 28 Joker is a big deep boat...unbelievable rough water boat.

Not sure, can build a boat or sell the molds.

28 has full cabin and cockpit interior. 26 is hull and deck - no interior.

So, getting back on topic. Assuming you bought one of the boats Joker lists on their website, what would be the cost to rig assuming you had your own drop-in engine and drive? The 26, for instance, is listed as starting at $25,000 and includes an interior, gauges, controls and tabs. What would be a rough cost to do everything else? This is assuming a very basic boat with no stereo, extra lights, cabin, etc. - just what's needed to make it USCG compliant and ready to roll.

i would like to know the same for the 26 and 28 but more like a 3 man race setup or a 6 pack boat! now that would be fun :evilb:

if you have the motor and drive like me I got a gellner 572 blower motor 1100sc and a konrad ace drive boat is a saber with full interior extra's were scoop300, glass work 2000,water pick up300,sea strainer 500,plumbing 200, polished pulleys 450, fuel pump 400,flamearrester300,oil thremostat 500 plumbing 200, oil cooler /ps trans = 2 coolers700 plumbing 200,headers and tails 5010, starter 200, wiring harness 200, fuel lines and filter water sep 300, msd box and pannel for wiring 600, so about 6grand plus headers and glass work. I am afraid to add it all up. so if you have a full dressed motor and drive figure 5 to 6 gs thats no labor to have someone install the motor and drive figure 2gs.
