    If I didn't already have a hole in the water that I throw money into, I'd seriously consider this. Heck, at $11,069 I feel I could use a spare hole just incase I manage to fill the other up. Buddy has had a 38' for years. Lotta boat for this money. I'll share the link. Good luck!

    OK, my older brother wanted to know:

    Gross tow weight of it on the trailer?
    Is it a towable trailer....or would a commercial haul Permit be needed??
    Kind of yoke on the trailer.....

    Stuff like that......
    At least he answered the phone....:D :D

    I'm sure the Mercury dealer assessed the transom and hull, before repower??
    Any documents like that??

    lol. In his words.


    The boat weighs 22,000lbs.
    It does not come with a trailer. It is hauled by a semi truck.
    Transom was not inspected….as these are direct drives out the bottom of the hull not transom.
    Engine re-power was performed by my independent mechanic, not a dealer. ”

    All good stuff...apologies for my lack of familiarity of the drivetrain.

    Mercury tells me: "no Sir, we don'tt send you engines, in the mail...."

    Ok, need a semi...maybe running it down the coast to Tavernier isn;t a bad idea....before hurricane season.....oh....wait....:D :D :D

    Wow. 69 reference aside, that is a serious serious amount of boat for $11k.

    Seriously. If my circumstances were just a bit different at the moment, I would be all over this just because I don't see how you could not buy it.

    which, is incorrect.

    The only thing wrong with it for me is it's location and the pain in the ass and how expensive it would most likely be to get it shipped to my location.

    Will someone please buy this boat?

    FFS do I have to increase the price? Fine.

    $69,069 now, or best reasonable offer.

    If it was in the water right now I’d put it on BaT

    but the way my life is right now and how hectic it is, I don’t have time to help him do all that
