525 sc
 

Gauging interest on selling my 525 sc...it has 520 hours on it all stock with a chiller...it will have no accessories on it and I will be keeping the exhaust and ignition...so it will be the long block, blower, chiller, and blower pulleys with belt, and 1050 dominator carb...10500?? price may be negotiable

pics/videos can be sent via text or email

thanks

Stewart

also anyone looking at this...if I'm honestly way off on my price please let me know...saw a fully one dressed with the same hours sold on another forum a couple years ago for 12,500 so I figured 2 grand less for accessories and ignition is fair...I could probably come up with a distributer if need be....

engine is a 1997 btw lol

You the original owner? Also hours since last rebuild or is it a virgin. 400-500 trouble free hours pretty good but probably due for tear down and rebuild including the blower. Lot of variables but someone would probably be looking at near 3k plus or minus for refresh/rebuild.

i hate to be the one to say it but I think your pretty high on the price. I only say that cause you asked. good luck though.

I'm glad you did say something because I have no idea lol....I'm the third owner...1st was an old man lots of idle time to half throttle 2nd was a family man with kids that didn't run it incredibly hard but I agree it could probably be freshened up soon...this is my first performance boat so I ran her kinda hard for the last 20 of those hours and I changed the oil when I bought it in the motor and blower and it hasn't used a drop...so what's it worth in your opinion honestly??

Stewart

IMO, you are WAY high on asking price.
For reference, there is one with 140hrs on FB Powerboat swap shop for $8500 complete.

Ok thanks for the heads up...that seems like a good deal so I guess I could drop my asking to 8000...much less than that I might as well keep it for another project really....idk open to offers anyway if anyone is interested

thanks!!

stewart

Where are you located?

Southwest Michigan

For reference Audiofn had a pair with zero hours on rebuilds, 9000 for the PAIR and it took them a year to sell.......

Those were not MERC 525SC's and although they had no hours, they had been sitting for a few years.

well..I posted it for what its worth to me...if someone buys it great and if not I'll just keep it..thanks for the concern tho

Stewart

What it's worth to you and what it's worth a buyer is 2 ends of the spectrum and throw in the variable that it is a engine ,with a blower , that internals can't be seen just by pulling a valve cover.

You need to ask yourself ...1 you wanna just let sit for eternity as a chunk of iron in a garage , or... 2.. do you really want to free up cash flow to your wallet.

For the price you have established there is ALOT of power for sale .

bump for offers....

have my eye on a new engine so I'm pretty motivated for offers

8500

any offers welcome...need to move this thing

7500

I did some more looking and like an idiot I read the hour meter wrong..the engine has 430 hours on the hour meter...not much difference but a little less and zero blowby or oil consumption...this thing was extremely babied before I got it...I'm open to offers guys need to move this guy

I can also include the MSD distributor with the deal and maybe the 6m-2l box with it if the price is right

thanks

stewart

ttt

6000

Damn I wish i would have pulled my 496HO and sold it already! I'd be a buyer at that price... Anybody want a 496??? Lol
