Anybody happen to recongnize this boat out of Le Claire, Iowa and can give me some insite? It's a 2002 288 with a 496HO. Any independent info would be great, good/bad etc. Is the owner a member on here?

Call the factory and they will give you all the info they have, all they need is the hull id.

Thanks, was thinking that myself. Emailed the owner yesterday for the HIN, waiting for response.

Call the factory and they might know the boat w/out needing the HIN.

I believe it has 500-600 hrs. That is all I know

All I know about it is that it's now sitting in my shop

I am pretty sure it was originally built/owned by Rick Elkins, aka Reckless32. He is in the Virginia Beach area. Great boat. He liked the paint so much, he had his 32 painted almost identical. If it's the boat I'm thinking of, it was well taken care of by Rick.

Why is he asking $29k? Isn't that about $10k light?

If that is correct that is a STEAL unless it was totally trashed!

Nope, it's not trashed...it's actually pretty mint. The PO told me the boat was originally named Reckless, and came from a Navy guy in VA, so that matches up with what Sydwayz said. It's in VERY good shape for a 600 hour boat.
