I was only busting balls ..call the guy scott that owns the boat hes great to deal with .I bought the 08 top gun he had... he told me all about this 1 also ..hes got a 382 poker run boat and a couple 41 velocitys less power also

smokin' gun clean out your PM's

IMO, looks like someone got the boat REPOed, then someone bought it and did a low dollar engine with and drive. then pulled them out to sell it or it got repoed again.

Brakes my hart to see it like its. I would love to buy it. But I had my boat listed for 50k and still own it. Cant see the Army 24 being worth more than the F1 28.

Look how much 9 years of poor ownership can cause.

that's black gel isn't it? not painted right?
wonder if it's been sitting outside

not even close to $18k of worth in that thing. I agree with the 8-9K range

The weird thing is the trailer still looks great.....looks like that was the only thing cared for. It's tough to tell the boat's true condition based on the sun glare and wet surfaces with these pics but I agree I was blown away when I first saw them. Sad

As John Candy said on Planes, Trains and Automobiles...That'll buff right out. LOL Damn it's a shame to see some awesome boats are let to go to sh&t. I'm sure some industrious future owner will bring it back to life. That will be the next refurb string, hopefully over this winter!

so i like this boat, but before i call,make an appointment for a looksee drive the 6 hours and throw an offer out there,
i figured some research was in order, very little on the internet about this boat but i did find a video

like to get any and all reliable info on the boat as possible
for the right price i'd like to pick this thing up but i don't want to find out the hard way that i shoulda kept looking and waiting
thanks

Just go look and go through it real good. Take a pick with you and stick any open screw or bolt holes in the transom, Look at the stringers at the front of engine compartment at firewall, the spreaders crack loose at this point from taking a beating. If its solid, Good. make a deal if you can. any thing can be fixed! just money. there is a 525EFI on this site. the guy is asking 15k. swing by him and grab that while yer out. Good Luck

I no it was hit in there first race by another boat and caused some major hull damage that Pantera fix for them
