I think Thunder550 ought to buy that & flip it....with his knowledge, he would have it in tip top shape up to speed ready to go in a day.

Flipping doesn't work as well when you put more into it than it's worth. I think I have a problem

[whitelightning]

I may look at it. What could it bring cherried out?

[thunder550]

I'm far from an expert on value of these boats, but personally I think you'd be lucky to get $25k for it in absolute perfect condition. I'd guess maybe $20-22k? This is where I struggle with mine, bought for $11k initially but have north of $25k into it including the trailer upgrades I've done, and I doubt that I'd be able to get that back out of it.

I bet you could have saved some if you just bought a new trailer.

Sounds like it could be good, for the right price. I'll be interested to see if it moves.
