Reddeath ! I don't know you,but you should be a salesman.You sold yourself right out of that boat.But think this way,anybody can have a new step bottom boat.But only the chosen few are able to own a piece of history(older hard core race boats).Don't get mad just my 2 cents. JOHN

Actually my friend who owns a hugh hi-performance (for NJ )when he told me to do the reverse numbers told me i was on crack to pay 70 for the thing since it ABSOLUTELY has no resale.Eleven plus year non cabin race boat hull bolsters ect=10 grand,used non rebuilt Merc 1000=20 grand ,used number 6 wet sump drives 20 grand misc parts and trailer 20 grand.Hey i offered low 70s cash.

If unleashed went for 80 (in a better market )what is this worth.41 Apaches (much better resale than ls Scarab )are going for 125 grand (dry sump 6s much newer engines )

There are no #6 41 APACHES selling for $125,000. You bashed ever 41 you looked at also, like I said before buy dirt if you are so worried resale. Don't buy fiberglass or kevlar if you don't want to spend money. Looks like you lost another one, one of my buddys bought this amazing 38.

Why dont ya just buy something!!!! If ya dont you are going to loose precious advice from people here on what not to buy.......Then you will be buying blind.....It always helps to have others input......


Ever heard the term sh!t or get off the pot?

NOT TRUE PREDITOR sold for 125000.00 and was a 6 drive boat with new power

Your FRIEND who may have bought the boat (unseen)CALLED ME numerious times involving the condition OPENLY ADMITTED he will put way over 150000.00 into the total project to get it correct.This was the exact situation i wanted to avoid.ALL in all there is a reason MOST BANKS will not finance 11 year old ex race boats.

Another example the Lynch Mob Racing 45 Apache number 6 drive boat (for sale now ) can be bought for approx 125,000.00.So i guess Apache with6s and 1000s DO SELL for that.Also INEXS is out there in that range which as you know is a 47 Tripple engine boat with 6s

You tell 'em Joe.

I don't think you can get a new Larry Smith hull rigged with tanks/gauges/tabs/etc for $105k. Unless it's built with a chopper gun. Larry used to sell bare hulls with NO rigging for over $200k and I would expect the price is higher now.

Good luck.
