Default Anyone seen this boat before?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=4642755645

I saw it listed on another website for $27,500. It looks clean but isn't that a bit high? Also, 450HP through those TRS drives is probably pushing it, correct?

I'm out of my Baja and looking for another boat. I saw this and I thought it looked like a lot of boat.


Thanks for any input.

I really dont think 450 hp is too much for TRS. I know a guy in my neck of the wood running a 30 formula twin 600's, and never ever had any problem in years! Ansd he's doing poker runs so 450 is not a big issue.Hope it helps!

Thanks for the replies fellas. I spoke to the owner over email and he said that the engines have 600 hours on them with the last 100 with the upgraded equipment. It sounds like they've never been rebuilt. At 600 hours I'd be staring at a rebuild very soon. Apparently the boat was primarily used in Minneapolis on Lake Michigan and Minnetonka. The owner said that the engines are in good shape and he's checked the alignment on each service date. From what I can tell, the boat looks to be very clean. If it's as clean as the pics show, what do you think it's worth? I'm thinking somewhere around $16K. Is that about right?
