2001 386 with 2369 hrs!!!
 

I must admit, I got real excited when I saw this ad with the buy it now price, but check out the hours and usage! Did not even think that was possible

AND it sat in storage for 3 yrs !!!! :lolhit:

~300 hrs per yr....for a go-fast charter vessel....I suppose.

Wonder how many hrs per yr Bob the Builder has on his? Prob pretty close to 300/yr?

I think that was Crazy Greg's boat.

exactly what I was thinking ! if it is, this boat was in miami for boat rides back in these days...

Have you guys noticed the color of the prestone tank? seems like oil got mixed in prestone... ???

Yup, sure looks like Crazy Greg's. He liked his Sonics. That was probably his last one before he passed away.

Only 200 hours at WOT. I would love to know the repair history of those motors. If he is only getting 60 out of her, it is either propped wrong or motors are weak. Cant imagine why, lol.

I wonder what the reserve is. That could be a nice boat if bought right. Rebuild motors and drives and fix up the interior. I like the paint, but the green in the cabin sucks.

4bus-rumor had it that you were working a deal on a boat, I didn't recognize it, not sure if it was local. Did it work out? That wierd snap on guy with the slow boat showed me a pic.

Ya, that is the rumor :) huge paperwork nightmare on his end, when you buy a boat, don't transfer the info into your name, and its 4 years later it complicates things. Hoping it works out, but searching for a back up in the mean time.

375 hp, low 60's is prob right on the money right?

Looks like rust to me, 2400 hrs without changing the prestone will do that too.....I have seen it in cars.

Just goes to show the quality of the Sonic Brand ! Impressive amount of hours, and still looks to be in in pretty good shape, especially if it was salt water boat. Gotta love the Sonics........

I was looking through old pics of Crazy Greggs boat as we charted him a few times. Sure looks like the Crazy on the outside and the hours indicate it was a charter boat, but the cockpit, cabin colors are totally different and the dash colors are very different. It is possible someone changed out a lot of the items.

I read HO in the text and thought 425's. I see they are mags. 60 is probably right, especially with the arch.

That has to seem like 15 mph is anything less than 2-3 footers

You won't even spill a drink in 2-3's.

I had wondered if the ad had failed to include the decimal points in those hour readings. Can't imagine you could run that many without a rebuild or three.

The ad has the screen prints of the hours from the merc scanner, those be real numbers bro

That's amazing but I wouldn't pay 60k for 2300 hrs.

I hope all the people that recommended tearing into a 496 at 3-400 hours are reading this. High performance stuff diff. story.
496 12-1500 or 2000? If cared for and not abused. Mine runs as good as when I bought it and is over 700. I would think they would want to mention it if they had been apart.

Talked to the current owner about this boat. It did belong to Crazy Greg. He stated both engines were replaced with Mecruiser long blocks at about 2000 hrs because one failed, but does not have paper work to prove it. He also purchased the boat to do "go fast charters" but with the price of fuel it proved to be un-profitable.

At this point he said $48k takes it home. Still high IMO
