Anybody Know Anything About This Boat....
 
Curious if anybody knows anything about this boat. I'm about ready to commit to purchasing it, and wanted to see if anybody knows something I don't. Thanks guys!!!

I have seen this boat.
When I saw it over a year ago it was perfect.
On of the nicest paint jobs ever on a 30.
It has the best of everything on it.
I have a 30 with xs's, you will really like it.
It is really fun to drive.

Thanks for the reply!!!

My Mercury mechanic says the 300 Pro Max was a horrible engine, so that makes me nervous.

300's
 
I have had the 3oo's and the xs's.
I had 2 pairs of x's and never had a problem.
They obviously burn more fuel than the new xs but the run great.
What is ur merc man saying??

He just said to stay away from them and try to get 2.5's.

I agree with him. I had 300x's on my last 30 Motion and had many issues with the engines going into gaurdian mode, and the gear cases leaking water. My new 30 Motion has 2.5's and really love the boat. It feels much lighter and just more fun. They are easy to work on. The only down side is that they need to be rebuilt every 150 hours.

Just my 2 cents.....

I would rater have the x's any day. Much more driver friendly for everyday boating.
You should not have any problems with them.
Scotti is a great guy to work with.
Bought 3 from him and looking forward to the next one.

What do you guys feel this boat is worth?? I mean it does have a lot of extra sh*t on it, so I expect to pay a little more for that.

I won't tell you what the negotiated price is because that's a private matter between us, but I want to see if I am close (which I think I am).

Why were they going into gaurdian mode? Have they solved the problem with the gear cases yet?
