I did a little boat shopping over the weekend (pics)....

Andy, you want to own the Strip and Lake?
I have always thought this one would pretty much spank 95% of the boats that show up at Havi.....and anything faster would need a bigger lake to catch up to it...

Nice boat. Did you try to haggle him down?
Seems like a deal at the price you mentioned.
There are some nice boats on the market right now. Some good deals, some not so good deals. I am not sure what it will be this time around. I have a couple things working.
I looked at this on Friday morning. We liked this a lot, Christina loved it. 110 in the front seat with her visor on. Very clean boat, needs nothing, but a bit high on price for what some other 32's are selling for right now and the market/insurance.

Of course I did.
The boat sold for 200K two years ago with 50 less hours on it. Dealer on the boat was mid 2's five years ago. So I don't think its much of a deal. In looking and speaking to brokers $150,000 is the number I keep hearing over and over. I offered more then that. Clean boat, but the drives have never been gone through, 100 plus hours on a set of xr's pushing a 32' around is borrowed time in my book. Maybe not, but again from talking to people it is. Some other boats on the market are a 32' none canopy with 900's and 6's for the same price and can be bought for the same price with less hours on it. But it is none canopy. I kind of like the idea of none canopy for running Parker, but Havasu no. I will run Havasu a lot. I think it will end up being one or two more boats before a Skater. I am looking to run north of 150 and with 6's. My wife doesn't want me to settle for this 32' just to finally get a Skater, she want's me to do something else then just do a 6 boat when I have more $$.

Buying a Skater with 575's and Bravos is like buying a Corvette with a V6.(It's pretty but you will never be happy)
Hold out for what you really want. :rollside:

LL, what's the top end on your boat? and what prop is that with? Very nice boat and reasonably priced as well. How many hours?

[Dave C]

I see you did your homework. That would be a sweet deal at $150k.
Damn the price of new boats sure has gone up. :jawdrop:

It currently has a 32p 4 blade bravo and runs 104 with that.
I ran it with a 30p 4 blade in Parker and got 109 out of it.
I really dont trim it and or drive it to the max but I am happy with what it does right now.
I have never ran it low fuel by myself for top speed either.
It has 47 hours on it.....Mostly channel time....
120k for u....
Thanks, Andy....
