Used boat prices gotcha down?

Post by JuiceClark »

Think of the guy who lost this boat. Some friends of mine are over in Ft. Laud. right now negotiating with the bank to buy it for $60K. The DDs have 350 hours and all the interior walls have just been resurfaced. It's never been sunk or anything...just a repo. that the bank has too many of.

It does need carpet though...lol: http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listing/ ... 14304&url=

"This is a project vessel, it was undergoing a refit. All new interior wall coverings and headliners. Ready for someone to take over project."

so probably needs engines ?

No....the engines are primo 16v92TI DDs with only 350 hours total. They called on Sat. after going through the boat. They started the engines and they're great. For economy, they'll probably take the turbos off and change the injectors.

They're going to get it for probably about $60k. Said it's absolutely filthy. The guys who put in the new headliners made a mess. But they can't find anything that doesn't work except for an ancient bonding system.(running gear is probably in bad shape)

Did you ever think you see a time in this country where near mega-yachts are basically going for free like that? It's really kinda' sad.
