I am looking to buy a 31' Rib to overhaul and re-power.

Currently it has those OB motors, and the owner does not want to pull and keep them. I do not want them, nor do I want to pay a premium for them because the boat has run 115 with them.

They are well-kept, well-tended, factory-serviced, etc. etc.

Can anybody share what they think a quick-sale price would be?

They have torquemaster gearboxes, if that matters.

Thanks,

Bob

I don't know, whatever they are worth new divided by 2? how much do they want for the boat with them?

The boat is in the UK (as am I), and the ask is USD110, which ain't gonna happen.

The owners are like a lot of us: spent a lot of money getting it 'just right' (and they did. It is a winner in class and speeds.) and it is now 'treasure.'

I'm trying to give them a graceful ribbon to grasp to become more realistic that it is just a hull, and the first thing I will do is take a chainsaw to it.

There are a couple of other (newer) identical hulls that have Yanmar diesel I/O 6LP-315hp ends, and the re-build would be different.

You need to get on a web site in your area that is more about outboards than v8's like scream and fly or the hull truth. If it has a sport master it is made for speed so I would stop at scream and fly first! Nice motors though - good luck!

OSO rocks again.

2007 250xs with torque master lowers with decent hours....quick sale....with rigging I figure about 13k. If you hold out you might get more.

Thanks. That is about the 'reverse-engineered' figure I was approaching as a working number.

The owners and I talked this morning, and I suggested they keep the engines, controls, rigging, spare lower, prop inventory, and their electronics and drop their ask considerably,

They are not in a great position: their boat is known and it is a NOT a garage-queen. It has been run a lot more than it has been washed and polished.

Plus it it older and not subject to being financed, which, itself, kills off most potential buyers.
