Nope, never went to look at the boat. I was going to leave it as is. Mid 70's is plenty fast for me. Last I remember the engines only have around 275 hours (probobly 290 now) and have new manifolds. I never could find any bad on the boat.

I would have bought the shogren boat less engine, but it wasn't advertised as such. That guy got a great deal.

Throw in $5K to get to 80+ is a nice little option. Just ask Dude Sweet how much he is into his boat and still sitting at low 70's:(

oooooo andy, that smarts.:hitfan:
this boat for 40 seems like a great buy.
me personally, i'd be looking at the 99 jo has, and throw some juicy sbcs in there.... yea, you'd be into it for more, but more power and new power costs....

Technically, my boat is sitting in the storage yard without a motor or drive right now... It's top speed is only limited by the ECU in my F250! It only ran in the low 70's twice before the motor came uncorked... :D

We'll see... I hear a rumor that my motor's coming home today or tomorrow.

That boat was all pink and was out of Maryland. If those motors haven't had any work done to them they probably are very tired. I have pictures and video of it somewhere. Here's one from the owners pics

Let's be realistic.

I like the sound of that. I booked my trip in April. I think the training is in Disney Land.

Right on. That'll be perfect. I only live about 10 miles from the house o' mouse!

for 40k, you're gonna complain about tired motors(whether they are or not is another story) on a 1998?

Rick, have you been on 'matt's' boat? run it? or is this hear say and opinions.

I never said that it was a bad boat. Nor did I say that it wasn't a good price. I did meet the previous owner, seen it, know what he was asking for it, and know how many hours are on those motors. I don't want to bash anyone's boat. A simple leak down test will show if they are tired. There are other factors that go into the price of a boat too. Like transom assy and the number of hours on those outdrives. Personally I would automatically assume a rebuild and factor that into the cost of the boat.
