Julies old 47
 

Has anybody seen it since Jim has got it back running? Do any of you know Jim?

I want it but still a bit out of my range, not much and I know what he paid I just don't know what he put into it. I don't want to insult him with to low of an offer. He just droped the price 30K if he does that 2 more times I'm there:D

i saw it at the barret jackson auto auction 2 weeks ago,

275.000 was the bottom line.

How did it look?

Lapse,
Compare to the 1998 at 249 asking price and in better shape. Power is not always the most important thing for buying purpose!


My .02

what 98 @ 249?

The one that randy sold with trp 750's.

Ok now I remember, I never got Randy lower than 265K but still a great deal I missed out on.

Lapse,
What ever happen with Pete's 42.

Somebody was willing to pay more than me, and I wasn't getting what I wanted for my 42 on trade so while we were working on it somebody else got it.

They have another one and they want even more for it. it seems that a twin engine 42 is worth more than a tripp 47.

The price on this boat is all over the place. I saw it start at $390K, drop to $360K, drop again to $330K, and now it is raised to $375K!!

Go figure.

:confused: so my eye are't playing tricks

He told me 275k on the phone 5 days ago, but I have something else working now thats a little more user friendly.

This boat could be very high maintenance. I plan to see it in a few weeks to see if it is of interest, but I have my concerns. A lot of 'history' behind this boat.

I talked to him for about an hour, he seems like a cool guy and really likes boats but I don't know if he knows a lot about them. It seems that he has the boat working good and says it's clean but I have heard different. I want a boat with a padded hatch, bench rear seat, and a gen. and by the time I ad all that it's back up out of my price range. Plus I needed to trade or sell my 42 and I am getting good $ for it from Nortech and he didn't want it and I don't want to wait for a buyer.

Saw the boat first hand.

Im my opinion, it is rough and needs glass work, paint, new seats, carpet... overall it is really in need of a lot of TLC. Drives need paint and have new skegs welded on to the bottoms (outside drives). Engines fired and idled well, but we did not get the boat wet. Would have to get this one for a good price and put some $$$ into it to make it shine. Says that he is not looking to dump the boat.

Also, the cockpit is small. Will keep my eye on it.
