how is it not worth 160, trailer included, in oso classifieds

I give up, HOW?

Are you saying that you are not getting any offers?

no buyers, how is it not worth 160, ran 121 on glass at local lake on pump gas, have a set of intercoolers and used stellings that go with it also, i dont get it????????? its a real kevlar 40 skater with trailer #6's, 5 blade props ect........

probably due to the age, harder to get insurance and loans....

Its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it....

Well, lets see, from my experience making marching men out of retired old soldiers here is my guess:

Paint min 30k

Rebuild power in very near future: min $40k

Repair trialer brakes and rubber: 3k

probably orig exhaust: 15K

Interior needs updated: 10k

Another set of props after engine rebuild 5k

Freshen Drives: 4k

Add another 25K for misc bad luck (rot).

Also include a year of downtime doing all of this.

What happened to the bargain?

Nice boat but at 16 years old and 59 other Skaters in the OSO classified you have a lot of competition. I think Sean H hit the nail on the head with financing/ insurance issues on an older boat. You can't buy the boat without financing and you can't get financing without the insurance............

All that is true however even after you get past that the main event is what I posted. It will $1,000 and $5,000 you to death. You have to plan less than one season with the current power and exhaust right behind that.

i agree it will have to be maintained, but wont a 350-500 thousand dollar skater have to be maintained also????? dont all boats that go over 120 have constant maintenance???

I don't think all that was necessary
You don't need a 30k paint job to run. Ask Reggie
Don't know who does your rebuilds but 40k seems high
Exhaust i'll give ya
why does interior need updating
I have never replaced props after engine rebuilds
Your low on freshen 2 drives 10k
25k for bad luck whats that BS.
Even all this added your not even close to replacement value of a new skater.
The drives and power alone would be more.
I will say this depending on the age of the power and main components could be a big factor.Need more information to make a good assessment.That hull also has the early bottom.
Lots of boats for sale on OSO doesn't help.
