32 Skater w/triple 280's, what's it worth...
1990 Skater w/ triple 280's, new center, strong port & stb, Mazcos, new ECM's as of next week, trying to make it to the Lake Cumberland Poker Run, you'll see it, it's obvious. etc.. Hull's a little rough, good trailer.
Or maybe someone knows some history, like how long it was under water and where.

Yeah I was thinking about 65-68 post completion. I have a surveyor available and have thought about having it surveyed b4 the weekend, but I guess I'm not that concerned about it's overall worth. I'm just kinda curious to find out if the owners investment + my expense is going to even out or take the value into the black or red.

The 280's have different electronics and have alternators.Also appears that it's got 2 hole CLE's rather than Sportmasters...also less desirable and a little weaker than the sporty's.

Prime example: my current boat is a 1999 28 Skater, purchased price was 85K in 2004..
The boat had 2.5`s 280 hp. Ran them for 150 hrs blew the motors.I had 2 new Diamond marine 2.5`s 330hp and all new rigging 35K.
Then had some bad gas and blew the motors ! Then I sent the boat to Skater for a tank re-fit for Eathanol, service + shipping 8k.
Then back down to Diamond to be completely re - rigged again and installed 2 new 300xs for 57K.
So lets sum it up over 5.5 years.85k+35K+8K+57K=185K
Do You think I can sell My 28 Skater for 185K ?? If so, come down and Ill even throw in a New Dually!!
Did not even mention gas or insurance...
Was it worth it HELL YES !!! Will I regain all the $$$$$ spent HELL NO!!!!!!

Just an FYI, the motors shown in the pics, are not 280's. Those are 260's which are worth less money to most and less desirable on a boat like this where you tend to have additional accessories (big stereos and such). The 280's have different electronics and have alternators.
Also appears that it's got 2 hole CLE's rather than Sportmasters...also less desirable and a little weaker than the sporty's.
