I need an answer!!!
 
Looking at a 2000 Vyper with 454 mags. What can I expect for speed?!

Someone either talk me into or out of this boat!

what would be a "i can't pass it up deal" on a 2000 vyper, 454 mags, trailer, 200 hours, fridge, microwave, standard stuff. Looks to be a clean boat.

I think you're looking at a 70mph boat, and I would think $45k or so, any less and that's a lot of boat for the money... I think there is/was a 2000 in good shape with 500EFI's for sale for 50 or so... Who knows, its hard to say

Think AJ is correct on the speed...I personally think finding a boat for 50 or less would be a stretch if it is really nice.

Who knows though, some people need money.

You could be right values are holding steady and maybe improving. The vypers are very sweet boats I wouldn't hesitate to own one

And I was mistaken I guess the one in the classifieds now is for 69k, the one for 50k was with 500HP carbs and was out of torch lake

Here is the thing, or my opinion, PQ have a unique following. People who want a PQ want a PQ. This said, it helps sellers to a point because they have a commodity that others want.

So, in the end, you buy what you want if you can afford it. I love the Vyper and it is a nice boat with my 2.5 year old daughter. A lot of freeboard, safe and dry, with a nice cabin and ****ter to assist in the potty training.

Good luck with what ever you decide!

Best room in a 33-35 class boat bar none! Great cabin

AJ, I thought about that boat in the classifieds before buying Vyper340 boat. Wasn't wild about the paint scheme and had really no options.

Prowrench also looked at it prior to buying Boatnt Revenge. Said the guy was super nice.

Yea, I think he is a little high on price being its not an 01+... And Andy G has that one with HO's for the same price that runs 80 with a Bad a$$ myco trailer

Poweraddr you have probably the best vyper built, lots of custom work was put into that boat.... We will have to get together on LSC I'd like to see it

AJ still thinking of stepping up to 340?

I talked with Andy too! Lol. He has an 01. It had a Eagle trailer though....Last I saw he wanted 69.

Thanks AJ for the compliment. I paid for it too, LOL but my wife wanted it. Dave treated me right, the Air Cond didn't work when it arrived up and I fixed it. When he found out he reimbursed the cash. Also, he found some extra stuff many months after the sale and sent them up to me. Gave me a spare drive too.

I am in the process now of buying a dually and my wife has family that have a place on Torch. So next summer I will be mobile.

Man, we jacked this thread!
