I like Golddigger, talk about an eyecatcher! I wouldn't get too hung up on the rumor, IF the boat has problems I'm sure it isn't anything that can't be corrected. The bottom line is, somebody spent $1m+ on that puppy not that long ago.
140 for a 50 footer on 1075s is respectable in my book. I say if you like it buy it. I do agree that it never hurts to lowball.

I would be asking a lot of questions of the people who owned that boat previously before I went within a mile of it. It is a stunning eye catcher but it obviously had/has some very serious issues with the bottom because no sooner than the thing was sold new by LCM it was right back there back up for sale - rinse repeat with the next owner as well.
We went to the Lousiville boat show one year back when LCM was in its heyday and they had Golddigger on display. It had already been sold and returned to LCM by that time and had already aquired a reputation for having a bad hull. The hull of that boat looked like a block of cheese as they had obviously tweaked it a number of times to try to get it to run right - yet they had not yet fixed the hull aesthetically. The bass fisherman and tire kickers were in awe of GD while we performance boaters were just stunned that they would put a boat on display with a hull looking like a block of carved on cheese.
I don't know if they ever got the hull right but at that point you could tell the hull was an experiement in progress.

I wonder if OL would be willing to get involved and help correct the hull, in an effort to save the reputation of their big cat. I don't think it would look good if Golddigger ended up being repaired by Skater.
