Enforcer2 07-23-2007 10:40 AM

that sucks, I know where the 32 molds are. probably doesnt' help. I will keep looking for you. I am aways on line.

The bet thing for you to do i sto subscribe to South Florida Boat trader. They are always in there.

I also have a buddy in Tampa that frequently finds these boats.

PM me and let me know what price range your in and I will give him a call.

I think it all depends on the condition they are in. They were built like tanks. So if they have been taken care of and not left out to rot they should be fine.

Look at some of these photos to get an idea of construction.

tttttttttttt.....what speeds are they running????????? what price range are they in????

302Sport 08-15-2007 12:42 PM

can anybody give me an idea of what price these boats are going for............

Enforcer2 08-15-2007 02:30 PM

I would estimate, only an estimate.......... that you can get one from 30k-50k depending on power condition etc.. etc..

You may be able to find one even cheaper there are a lot of variables that determine what price.

The biggest is have cash. It never fails you would be suprised ho far people come off of prices when you are ready to go with no BS.

I bought my 1989 37 Midnight CC cuddy asking was 80K with 2001 optimaxes. I paid just over half of the asking and still made out when I sold it for 70K. Of course I made some changes and put in about 5-7 K. Details

Here's some specs on the one that I think sold. The asking was 30,000


Beam 8 ft Dry Weight 6000 lb

Max Seating Capacity 6 Hull Material Fiberglass

Hull Shape Deep Vee Engine Outboard-2S

Fuel Gas/Petrol Horsepower (total) 200

Engine Make Yamaha Engine Model 200hp

Engine Year 1989 Engine Cruising Speed (mph) 40.0

Engine Top Speed (mph) 45.0 Fuel Capacity 200 gal

Deadrise at Transom 24 degrees Water Capacity 50 gal

Engine Hours 385 Number of Berths 1

Number of Engines 2


I woulsd have to say that the top speed is low on this I would have guessed at least 55. May be with twin 250 efi's 60.

Enforcer2 08-16-2007 12:07 PM

Did you get the messgae on the Midnight I located??

That is one that will go far more just based on the condition it appears to be in and the new power. You can plan on paying at least 30K for the hull and then add in whatever the power is going for.

302Sport 08-16-2007 03:58 PM

yeah the guy told me 25K for just the hull if thats what i wanted..........im looking for more of a project that way i can build it how i like...........

Pantera24 08-16-2007 04:03 PM

302Sport have you seen the 32' Scorpion in ScreamandFly ? That is one hell of a hull and could be converted to Triple Outoards real easy and would be a hell of a wave crusher.

302Sport 08-16-2007 05:32 PM

yeah that guy emailed me some pics of the boat........converting a boat is a little more than i would want to get into. height, setback, etc.......thats a pain in the a$$ but it is a nice hull.

Enforcer2 08-17-2007 12:59 PM

302sport if that guy is asking 25k for that hull you should seriously consider it. Make him an offer

That boat has been already rigged. That' s were the expense comes in.

I'm sure with those new engines he would have to take controls and gauges off, but that is still a good price for a hull that is ready to hang power on.

You can find a decent set of outboards to get you going all day long for 10K.

There are currently a pair of Merc 250xs with controls, steering gauges etc....for 12k.

In fact during my search I have located several optimaxes (pair) for under 9K and pair of EFI's for about 7K.

That's a turn key boat for around 40K (not to mention a very rare boat)

And a project will cost more $$$$$$ in the long run.
Trust me I have done it more than 5 X's now. It's a sickness but I have been able to turn them over for profits.

The trick is finding the lhull with the least amount of work that needs to be done...like that Midnight.

There's a Fountain CC on OSO classified for around 18K
