Merc 525 for $24,000....Good deal?

[hallett 260]

I need your help. A dealer in Miami has 2 525's for $48000.00. They are brand new with warranty. I can take one, but he does not want to seperate them.
Is anyone else interested in the other? How does this price sound?
Thanks

..not sure if it is still there, but Teague had one on the floor for $17.5. You may want to call and check :smile:

How many hours on them? If memory serves, a single 525 new from Mercury Racing is something llike $40k.

Are these the ones that Lipship has? Those are brand new, in the box motors with full warranties, right? $24k seems like a good price for them. I think that a new 525EFI with drive and transom assy is in the range of $40k

Yes, they are the ones advertised by lipship. Does anyone know this guy? He says he is a Cigarette dealer.

Phil Lipship is a legend in Cigarette circles. He is a straight up guy. Here is a link to his site.

I believe Gary (cigarette 1) bought his boat from Lipship. He is well respected in the Cig world...

If these motors INCLUDE an outdrive, your getting them below my OEM Cost.
If they are JUST the bare motors, then they are making a reasonable profit on them and your getting a good deal.
