I am possibly taking a boat in trade on my Nor-tech and it has some big power in it. Ultimately, I would like to try and sell or trade the big power towards a pair of 700's, just like Cashbar is attempting to do. What is everyone's thoughts on this and what do you guys think is the current going rate for a pair of 700's with relatively low hours?

I am a big fan of the 700's so I think it is a great idea. Good motors, proven, have room for upgrade, and can utilize all the smart craft tech that is out there.

No current going rate since there are none to be had except at Cobra Power.

I think PBC has a new pair at 40k each.

Talked to randy yesterday, he sold the pair he had with around 100hrs on them for $25k each. The boat I would be taking on trade has a pair of fresh 1150's in the boat and a spare set of fresh 1000's coming with it. I just cant justify selling 4300hp and most likely not getting enough money to buy 1400hp to put back into the boat.

Who built the 1000's and what do we know about them?

I have a pair of 700hp Potter built 575's with 50 hours on them....

Potter built both sets of engines. I would consider whippled 525's or turned up 600SCI's.

We had 4 NEW 700's, sold them all.

Were they replacement power or going in new builds? Curious, as they seem to be a hot commodity

Fresh Rebuilt in 2014/15 winter, 50 hours. Even swap for the 1000's and you can still sell the 1100's.....

Just found out the "1000's" that got thrown into the deal are really just long blocks. So, that makes it an ever further stretch to get into a pair of 700SCI's.
