    I sold nearly the same boat, 300 hours (injectors cleaned @ 250) Duel axle trailer, 2 Birds, for 30K two years ago. I sure miss that boat BTW!

    If I could have found one of those or a 119 three years ago when I bought this Phoenix I would have. Really nice size fishing rig.

    You're fortunate that he was nice enough to hold it for you. Sounds like you found a good deal. Enjoy!!

    Probably rest assured that there are no gremlins in that boat. Selling to a friend can be good/bad.

    appreciate it fellas, I bought it!!. Sold my 2006 Stratos 285 Pro XL with vmax 150 for 13k.

    I will post some pics soon. three things I dont care for
    1. the single axle trailer. seems like alot of boat for it, but every forum I read and people i talked to said it was no problems.
    2. Even though motor is strong. I really wanted to get away from two stroke.
    3. Most minor thing is blinker trim on the opposite side of my last boat lol.. Ill be used to it in a day or so

    ***was told if i really wanted to and if I plan on keeping the boat for awhile.. I could get around 6k for motor and buy a brand new 200 SHO for 15k (not included tax, or hanging the motor).That would put me right at 30k for a 2009 boat and a 2019 motor with full warranty. Haven't thought it about much since he told me that.
