The 33 avs from MI called white knuckles does not have superchargers. They are 500 carbed blue motors. Here is the Grand sport youtube video of it.

As for NADA my P29 was 20k. I paid basically asking price and I feel I got one heck of a deal. +13k over NADA

I attached my white board. It has all the 33 avs forsale from October 2012 to June 2013. You will see there is not one for $40k. 40k will get you 454's with tons of hours and a boat I dont think any of us would want.

He's been talking about selling for a couple years now, just not aggressively marketing it. In fact, I just got off the phone with him, he's getting kicked out of his heated winter storage and looking for a warm place to at least winterize the motors...so if you know of anyplace Joe, give him a call...

502's, aluminum trailer - assume salt water use, 46k AD does not state hours. No K tabs just the short bennet style tabs

They are unreliable if the person installing them doesn't know anything about superchargers in marine applications.

My bad there. You do make good points as well. It could also be what manufacturer they go with.

hmm, been building motors for 20+ years. this generalized statement couldn't be farther from the truth.
