I think you should buy it and then send it up to me so that i can spend the summer testing it out for you....

Other than that it looks good and you can haggle the price.

    What year is that? It's a beautiful boat, and looks to be in great shape. This is almost exactly identical to mine, except I don't have thru-hull exhaust, I have different throttle controls (kiekhafer), and my side panels are a little different (possibly due to different throttle controls). I just found out from a very inside source that mine is a "Limited Edition", and I can verify that this is one also. It has a solid gelcoat color, uses buckskin vinyl material on the interior, and has limited special edition graphic package.

    You'll like this cabin interior much better than the fabric. It's SO comfortable! I'd say the $26k price is fairly reasonable, depending on the condition of the engine. The extra stereo is nice, but it shouldn't be a huge factor in the price. Just for your info, I paid $24k for mine, and had to get a brand new trailer for $3700.

    I say that's a fair price, try and offer him 25k for it, and work from there. That's a great looking boat!!

    Sent you a PM. I drove from Cincinnati, OH to Baltimore, MD to pick mine up! If it's truly what you want, the drive will be worth it!
