We will see .. The boat market is not good.
Two years ago I was offered 30k for the boat and turned it down. The market wont allow those numbers now i bet.
I will keep it if I cant get what I want. :cool:
:food-smiley-007:

I dont think the boat market is good for any seller right now.The speculation is for $5.00 a gallon of gas next year.If your boat sells and you get what your looking for I would bet it will go to an inland type of boater.

So you want 30k for it ?

There ya go again Unitek ..:rolleyes:
You have been asking about that boat long enough now that you should just bid on it :ernaehrung004:
I would love to see you get it .. Then I could live through you for a while :D

Im not going to bid on Ebay. Let me know if it doesnt sell.

It is up to 20,100 and has 48 watchers as of now it will likely make it to 25k at this rate.
You could offer me 25k now and I would pull it off ebay I will risk that it will go over that on ebay.
That is 5k less than I told you 6 mo ago :rolleyes:

better buy it i see 22"s for that price,this boat will go up in value

I think these boats have leveled off and wont appreciate.The boats we all have here which from the pictures we have posted are in top condition and worth in the range of 25 to 27.5k.Condition of the trailer has a 10 to 15% bearing of what the total package is worth...jmo.

Even though the value has leveled off and if kept in good condition I dont see them depreciating any further.Again..jmho.

I would agree that these are not muscle cars however,
the numbers that any boat brings is dependent on the guy who wants it that day.
When I was looking for a boat I had two in mind. One was a cat and the other was an orange SCS. I liked the fact that no matter how many other 22 or 23 they built they only built 14 of the Orange ones.
I was sold on it and I would have paid more than top dollar to get it. When I was looking the one I found was the only one I saw for sale in a year.. That was inspiration to grab it as well.
I think these boats are every bit as desirable as a "Miami Vice" boat or a classic Donzi or Chris. In another decade we will see them grabbed up.

Actually your correct.The orange SCS is worth more than the white ones since they are limited productions.Even though the white SCS is also limited in numbers,the orange one is more scarce and therefore worth more.Someone here needs to buy your boat.

If I wasn't having a 67 Mustang GT500E being built for me I'd buy your boat for a matched set.How cool would that be?

That would be way cool .. Hey you need to send us some progress pictures of the Stang as it goes together

The shop building this Eleanor Mustang (gone in 60 seconds car) sends status report photos every two weeks on a friday.I'll get some today and post them.

The car is on the rotisseri getting the front total control suspension and the independant rear supension installed now.

Best part about this build....all aluminum 427 side oiler punched to a 468ci with a guranteed dyno report of 650hp.The trans is a 5sp and on the shifter is a little red button that says,GO BABY GO.150 shot of nitrous.

How cool is that !!!:food-smiley-007:

how much have you used it in salt water ?

6 to 8 times a year for offshore fun/poker runs and trips to a event.
We live between Orlando and Daytona next to the St. Johns river and about 50 lakes so we do most of our boating in lakes and the St. Johns.
After each trip to salt the boat gets a 1/2 hour flushing and rinse of the engine compartment. That is why there is almost no rust in the engine compartment.

Once the boat gets a bid over the reserve and below 12 hours. (most bids come in the last 2 min!) I will not be able to end it early without risking a bad record on ebay... Just a hint ... hint :-)

e-bay auction insurance
 

unitek if your going to buy the scs ,its not a bad idea to buy it through e-bay because e-bay has a up to 20,000 auction insurance that covers structure and motor,,,outdrive ,,, etc. the reason that i know this is when i sold my 29.5 on e-bay last april,the guy who bought it knew exactly what he was about to do,the boat was a 1996 and to the best of my knowledge it was a perfect boat,he had 4 guys inspect it, a total of 4 hours and a 2 hour ride in tampa bay,it checked out perfect,but when he got home to virginia about a week later,and took it to 3 marinas,probably his good buddys,they decided it needed a new transom and bulk head a total of 16,000 ???????????? well e-bay calls me and wants me to give up some money''.WRONG''i knew better and what this guy was up to,so i lost my e-bay acc. and i got a lecture from e-bay,about how i should have told him that it had all these problems,lesson learned here!!! e-bays a great way to buy a boat or anything that runs, where else can you buy a 10 year old boat and get a guarantee like that

Ok ScarabRun tell me thats not your Busa :ernaehrung004:
Here was my last one..Before someone ran through a stop and killed it and almost me.
Part of the reason for boat sale...

no not mine i seen it in daytona at biketoberfest ,i tried to buy it,he wanted 30k for it. ''' I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKe IT,,i rememberd you had one,, ONE BAD *****

Yea.. I do
Not up to riding yet .. walking is nice .. Doing that again :ernaehrung004:

Well it didn't make reserve ..
The fuel thing I guess :cool:
I wanted to go out on thanksgiving anyway :ernaehrung004:

Well,we all know your boat is worth more than the ebay bidding.Ebay in my opinion is a place for bargain hunters and does not reflect what an item is worth on the open market.

I watch Ebay all the time for cars,trucks,boats,snowmobiles,atv's,etc and Ebay just does not bring the high dollars that the item would in a different type of advertisment.I had my Pro Street on Ebay and not one bid.I put it on another internet ad and it sold in two weeks and got my asking price.

I would suggest if you really want to sell your boat I would put it on BoatUS.com and it will sell.I think more people scout those ads before Ebay....I think Ebay sucks unless your a bargain hunter.

agree

So how much do you want for it ?

boat us .com
 

hey guys i went to boat us.com like prostreeter said just to take a look and i found a 1997 scs ''WHITE'' for 42,900 "wow' theres no way this boats nicer than my boat ?unless they are twins , it has a big motor 540 MERLIN ,is that worth the extra ??? check it out

The owner of that boat is a member here.His boat is listed in the OSO classified.I considered that boat before I bought the SCS that I did.I was just not interested in a big hunkin motor like what he has.

My boat was a diamond in the rough when I bought it.A 7 out of a scale of 10.With the work that I've done to the boat and trailer it's a 9+ now.

yeah that guy is on crack ! That boat has been forsale for more than a year and hasnt sold yet. if he lowered that boat to 30k it wouldnt sell either imho

How fast do you think that 540 powered boat is?

540 merlin
 

he says 93 mph on gps

My boat at 75 feels like it is going to become a sea plane:D
Cant even imagine 93MPH in a 23.6 hull.

Are you planning on keeping it ? I have a serious buyer comming to talk numbers with me on the HTM this weekend. Let me know, otherwise im gonna buy a Howard Bullet

For now yes .. I wont let it go for less than I told you.
It is worth every dime of it and I will keep it if I cant get that.
PM me if you want to make me an offer.
W

I cant pm because im not a paying member. send me your contact info via email and I'll call you tommarow and lets see if we can work something out. [email protected]

Mike

Unitek, you still have those sport tube lites?

sold em' ;)

Okay thanks.

guys am i crazy
 

i have changed my mind about selling my scs ,,these boats are the bomb,,what a great part of history at its best,even today,come on,,,, a 75 mph boat from the factory ,,how much would you pay for a boat like this today ????????????????

+1 Brotha !

For example... 2007 23 outlaw 496 mag 65-68 mph 59k sticker price
Hmmm Stick with the SCS !

Good choice to keep the SCS.They really are timeless classics.What other 23 foot water rocket get the thumbs up and attention these boats get.I can't think of any.

Five more months and we'll get to have our boat out again.



BTW.....where's patchy been?He was fun to fuk with.

they say these boats were 60k. new is that true ?

Some dealers got over that !
Suggested was over 60k with 502
