Not taking away from anyones taste or boat, I like them without windshields, no rail, no hatch and large HP with a whistle noise.

Mike, I know you don't want to here this but as a "friend", I don't see how you can sell this time of year and come out. If you ebay it your just going to spend another 100 bucks and not sell it unless you do a no reserve and just let it go for what it brings. You are going to have to wait it out till good weather. By then you may decide to keep it and if not you will at least have a chance to get some real money for it. DO what you have to do but now isn't the time to sell it is a good time to buy. I put mine on ebay last fall 2003 model, still some good weather left and it only got up to $57,100,00 and that was a no reserve auction. I ended up talking the guy that bought it out of buying it and refunded his deposit. This is just my 2 cents. Any one agree? Disagree?
As you know my 1999 28 was owned by VelocityRick and he had it for sale with power for the same $$ you are asking. Rick did the Ebay thing too with no luck and then eventually traded it in against another boat. If I had been looking at Velocitys a month earlier, I would have paid Rick the 30K with power vs. the 24K I paid without.
IMHO your boat is not worth a whole lot more with that monster engine than it would be with a stock Merc big block. You may consider selling the engine and boat separately, I think you'll get more $$ in the end. I don’t want to insult you with but I’d say you’d be lucky to get 2/3 of what you’re asking right now. It is truly a buyers market...

Here's my old '96 26' (back when a 26 was REALLY a 26' boat).
Sold it in '02 and I hear it has a nice home up in VA or NC.
1996 26' Thoroughbred Velocity Blueprinted bottom
Express Engines 461CI motor, 565 HP @ 6000 RPM, 525 ft-lb @ 5200
87.5 MPH (Aired Out
