    You seen the prices people have been asking of these boats lately? I think just about everyone I have seen for sale the last year have been high. I don't know if they have been selling for those asking prices though. There's a 1991 listed here on BBC for 20k. A 96 with no motor went for 14k on Allison owners. There's also a 97 listed for 25k on Allison owners. The ones you see price where I would think they should be go quick.

    I bought a 97 03,with 14" ally j/plate and hyd. steering,,,,needed seats/carpet, motor and rigging,for $4500 in Feb.,I already owned 2.5 motors and rigging,so I prolly have $2k out of pocket,and bought a 2.5l 1.75 sporty for it, there is good boats/deals around.,just gotta' act fast when they come up. It depends on your preferences,,by the time I bought seat covers,rigging,and put a 225x and a 2500$ MGuide and $4k of humminbirds,,sometimes $20k isn't too far out of range for a classic ride. you can restore one your way,or some folks prefer turnkey.

    Well I can say that is definitely the exception and not the norm. I have never seen one in any condition for less that 7k. But, like I said before, they have been going for a higher than normal price lately.

    That is what I thought also when you include all extras, not that far out of range.

    you are right tho',depending on shape and which 2.5 merc. it has,and sporty/CLE lower is a must for these boats, ,$14-17k is the norm for a nice xb2003 turnkey.

    It is clean, I have been in it. Runs close to 94 gps. Only reason he is selling is to buy his FIL 2002.
