Yea I don't even look at powerboat postings. They should just close that web account.

Update. Good news is that I know that they are still out there. Bad news is I just missed a loaded 99 293 in Mo. Was all excited after seeing boat posting yesterday. More excited when speaking with owner and hearing details of boat. At end of conversation he told me that someone was arriving at 10 a.m. today to inspect. You already know the rest of the story. Boat is headed home with new owner and it isn't me. Seller was very nice and very forthcoming with info. Told him to keep my number if he sees another one.

If you see one you like you just have to put a down payment on it right away.

You're on the right track. Keep putting the feelers out there and someone will respond. That's exactly how I found my 360. Seller contacted me.
Ended up being a sweet, well kept boat on my same lake!

Not a preferred location (West coast) and looks like no trailer.

Thanks for the reply. Boat is a bit out of range.

Another potential.... Crazy how they hold value. This is listed at the same price I bought my 1999 293 in 2009 and $10k more than I sold it for in 2017.

Looked at pics in detail and discovered extended swim platform. Rack storage at my marina can't handle that configuration.
