It pains me to not put an offer on this boat, what an incredible classic!
Even though this particular boat is far better than new, I think a problem for buyers may be that it's dificult to finance a boat that is over 20 years old, so you'll need a buyer to come in with cash. I wish that was me!!! I'd be happy to let you use my slip in South Shore Marina though!!

John, as long as people are offering slips, how about one in the Florida Keys, we own 3 in Marathon....... I'll be happy to rotate the props for you, when your stuck in snowy PA.
I really wish someone would buy this boat so i could stop trying to figure out how i can afford it.
It really is getting painful! Best of luck with it, incredible, amazing...i dont know if there are even words for how nice this boat is.
seanile - please tell me you wouldnt take 100k for her as thats all I have to spend. I would just hate it if someone else got her for that price or there abouts. not trying to be an a-hole ,thats all I have to go with and dont finance my toys. put me oput of my misery will ya !!!!!!!!!!!
someone has to buy her soon as Im getting tired of looking at her ! not really tired of looking at it but maybe trying to figure out how it could be mine. $100,100 cash no questions asked, except how many hours on the cummins ?
The $100,000 is a tad low, as is 110,000 but I realize the initial 200K was a bit (way) high. Wasn't sure if I really wanted to sell it so I listed 200 but now it must be sold. The rebuilt Cummins have about 450hrs on them. Boat is scheduled to go in tomorrow and I will have new pics.
That model has always been my dream boat. Would you take my wife for it? She can clean, cooks sometimes, etc....
Please? Seriously, I love that boat and she would not appreciate it at all. She's still got some life in her, and that boat has new life after that work.
