il tell you that that boat was for sale for 5000 bucks two years ago and i doubt that he paid that for it. Also why are the only pics of the boat at the dock, something is up with that thing. Anyways its not worth more than the value of the hull and a beat up bravo in my opinion, all the hardware on the boat is worthless, the rigging is old dated stuff, and those tabs are a joke. Its also been for sale for two years
jus sayin.....

From: Rhode Island summer, Florida winter
Built for a very good friend of mine new in 77. Boat featured brown accents, windshield glass tint, all the interior and cabin cushions. Even had special anti fouling brown bottom paint. Originally had the 280 TRS drive with small block. This boat was used almost daily in the warm weather. He also had a 60 foot Chris Craft Roamer and a 38 foot Magnum to play with from his waterside home and docks. Hull had a race layup too. This boat was passed on to his sons upon his death. They ran it many years and then repowered with a big block and ran it for a few more years. Boat has kicked around Rhode Island and nearby Mass since. It would make a very nice resto with all new everything. Engine, drive, tabs etc etc.
So, the value lies in the hull and deck and not much else. The trailer shown is an old trailer I sold him back in the late 70's when he started taking the boat to Florida each winter. My personal 24 footer is boat number 6 and just as much effort was put into making this boat number 7 for my friend.
