WTB 280 Silencer
 

Hey guys,

I'm in the market for a 280 and wondering if anyone has a lead on any? I had one lined up and it fell through, so the search is on. I've looked at most of the ones in Michigan and there isn't anything that catches my eye as of August 15th.

This is what I am looking for...
2000+
496HO or 502
Silent choice
Prefer a windscreen and trailer
Must be well kept and good to great condition

Wants...
Eye catching graphics(wifes only need!)
K-planes
Hydraulic Steering

Thanks FunHoffs

How about a 2003 with the Riptide graphics on an Eagel trailer. There is a fresh 555cu.in. that is going to be going back in, or an engine of your choice.

Email me at [email protected] this sounds very interesting.

Will do.....but it doesn't meet all of your requirements as it is a windshield boat (there was an oso member here looking to trade a fairing for a windshield though).
Engine is 700 hp as well.....

I have a 2003 with a great looking paint package ,I have a walk through windshield though and trim tabs instead of k planes it has a fresh custom built 555 ci I'm looking at getting a bigger boat

Short fuzed. Please send me some pictures and additional details and I will surely take a look and get back with you.

Thanks

How the F do you drop down the bolsters with that setup??? Lol! Thats the LAST place I would put speakers...

hahaha...you dont!

Drock - Thanks for the information about these two boats... I don't think i'm alone to say that I'm looking for my next boat and one that I would plan to hold onto for a few years.. maybe too picky but here are my thoughts..

Lake in the Hills.. Engine is only 375hp. Heard that this motor on that boat is shows lack of Power. No Silent Choice, No K-Planes, and Graphics Package is OK but to my wife and I, not the boat that we would love to have for the next 5-8yrs... Hours are Low which are great but Could not make up for me wanting to sell in a few years to get More Power and Eye Catching Graphics... Hold off on this boat for now..

Traverse City Silencer - Black/Maroon. I have been on seen/drove this boat... Many comments... Not the boat for us. If someone is interested in this boat, please contact me and I can give you my real thoughts.


Honestly, we had our last boat for 5 years and are looking for the next 5+ years... We want it to Look Good, Run Great, and have been well taken care of. I can live without some of the options, but can't buy a boat that I already want to sell when pulling home...

I'm not in a Rush to buy one, but when the right one comes along, we will be ready...

2003 with Riptide graphics.........

Not the best video but gives you an idea.

That was definitely a BA boat, Mike. What happened with the Raylar?

The Raylar was taken out with next to zero hours and sold when the new owner bought it....he wanted more power!!!

You canadians have too much money!!!

It's not too much money it's testosterone speed is just a fact life

agreed

Too funny, just look at my user name 'Need4Speed'! (the GTCS is for my Mustang GT California Special). I don't actually have a lot of money but fast toys are where I spend my money! LOL!

Coming from the guy that has a Mustang GT California Special, 380 Poker Run edition and spent an unknown sum of money to teach a dog how to drive a boat AT NIGHT no less!! :lolhit:

I always thought dogs were color blind.

Actually the hard part was keeping the dog sober enough so he could drive!

And let's not forget the unknown amounts of money upgrading his engines!!

The key words there are "unkown amounts"...everytime I see my marine tech he has yet another invoice for me! LOL!

Well I guess I will chime in. I think the time has come to seriously consider selling my silencer. I have really been enjoying boating on the chain on my smaller boat and think I am ready for a pontoon. 3 boats will not be an option with my wife. There are not enough weekends to try to go to Lake Michigan with the PQ also. 01 loaded with options on a trailer. Turn key 496ho with small pro charger. Needs nothing.

Throw up some pics special k... Gotta run good with the procharger!

Special K's boat would be worth looking at. Great graphics and condition.

Thanks for all your help. I found a 2001 Silencer this past weekend and absolutely love it. Now I am on the lookout for a full camper enclosure to put on it. I'm in no rush but would like one if I can find it. Let me know if you guys have any or know of any. Thanks again.
