    Some one needs to buy this, before temptation set in for me..

    (Actually buy my boat first. lol ) but this seems to be a great value and a deal.

    I found a 2005 525 boat in the OSO classifieds for $279,000 from fastboats.com. I would want to talk to the owner of this boat about its history, and get a survey regardless. $119,000 is very suspicious for a Nor-Tech.

    Thread disappeared but I want to say that marina is shutting the doors?

    EDIT- not shutting the doors but not carrying brand new boats to the best of my knowledge

    That boat was a raceboat badly converted to a personal boat, The seats look like they are out of a car. The rear seats don't even fit correctly and the worst part is 525s with Bravos. The 525s I could live with but XRs on a 36 Nor-Tech? thats should be a drive per month on that boat.

    Interior looks like it was thrown together with left over parts. It takes alot of power and good drives to move that boat. I agree, needs #6's

    The boat raced as Hooters in KW in 2004. The hull took such a beating that they didn't even race on Sunday.

    I'd rather be on the boat with a drink on the rocks, than in the drink with my boat on the rocks.

    those seats are horrible. and the things to cover the exhaust holes on the hatches....how much would it cost to have ti converted correctly? i think the paint job looks kinda nice.

    IIRC that boat was down here for a while. Never looked at it up close but it didn't look to impressive in person.

    Great o be on SOS

    I talked to the salesmen.. Asked him about the boat,,, he didn't tell me anything sepcific. Then I told/asked him if it was a race boat and converted. After some heee's and haaah's he admittied that it was converted, but he didn't know the specifics. He told me to talk to the mechanic/rigger who did the job.

    I told him about the Hooter race boat, that I have some info.. and I can hear his jaw drop.
    The price is up. but he still willing to honor the internet price of $119,000+- something.
    The owner is "buying" a 50' NT cat, and he is thinking about thrading this one in.

    Soo.. if you can afford a 50' NT. cat, you don't care about trading one in or selling.. Something is up.. Typ. thing.. "good from far.. far from being good."
    Love the SOS bro's and the "gurus" on here.
