They are pricy!!!!!! but lots of fun. Just be sure you can afford the depreciation and gas!!!!! My family has had boats for a long time and Dad just sold his at about 75% Depreciation after 5 years... on a boat just a little less expensive than that one!!!!!!! You can do the math. My brother just gave away a 1979 boat with only about 200 hours on the motor!!! He couldn't even get 1K for it and we are in so'cal... the land of endless summer.

220K is a lot of money and expect to take a big, big hit when you want to sell it. There aren't many people that can pony up for a luxury like this one.

On the upside, as you already know, there is not much better than spending a day on the water. Good luck on your decision.

yess it is quite the price tag....i live in canada ,and i have a cottage on teh st laurence river to use the boat at full time....i will have to have it brought up to me if i decide to buy it!

 

[thomas91169]

wow 220k! ****ing insane but thats a sick ass boat. if you have the money go for it.

What do they say: The happiest day of a boat owner's life is the day they buy the boat and the day they sell it.
That is an awesome boat though. Boating is a very expensive hobbie.
I wish I could have the best of both worlds, owning a nice Mustang and a nice boat.
Good luck brother.

I think a nice summer day and a boat = perfection...but here in NJ we only get about 3 months to really use one so i never purchased one. I just go out on my friends boats and will pay for fuel for the day so that makes me a welcome guest anytime i want to be...they are however one of the worst investments ever! Only buy with money you don't need because they depreciate rather quickly. Its definately a rich mans hobby.

Jeez! Sweet boat, but my first HOUSE cost about half of that. Just get yourself a dingy with a 351! Be a water Miata.

I dont know if you can afford it. You might go into serious debt. Im basing this on the car that you drive. I say dont throw your life out the window

 

[merc123]

Yeah, I couldn't justify buying a $220,000 boat, especially used unless I made $300,000/year.

yepp, i came to a conclusion tonight im not buying it haha

 

[ShortThrow50]

My brother bought a brand new boat last year like a dumbass and he is in deep **** now. You cant even sell them to pay off the debt

 

[MotorMike]

That is one sick boat! I can't really look at it and not think of the Phoenix Suns, but that's alright I guess. I like the Suns. If I had the money, I'd get one too. Unfortunately, I'm about $219,000 short right now.

Sick boat, but if you can afford it why are driving something like a mustang, you also have a ferrari that you don't have listed in your sig?
I love speed boats myself but no way could I afford one that nice unless I plan on living out of my car. I will probably pick up a used 27ft Baja in the future. Nothing too fast, but still a pretty nice boat with some balls.

 

[superstang01]

well, i wasnt gonig to be going all in on it myself.......i have 2 brothers that are also obsessed with them ,we also share the same cottage......we are still looking for a boat....but maybe something abit cheaper and closer to home haha

 

[5.0's 4 ever]

That makes a lot more sense, good luck on the search

 

[superstang01]

i will pots up pics if it ever happens!! haha

you can find a nice one for 50K and the s/c is like 7k

I got a decent 17 foot boat with a 90hp outboard for $1800 on the trailer. Hull is great, motor is brand new. I'm gradually fixing up the interior. Its looking really nice and does the job.

Boats are such a pain to maintain for the little time you use them that I wouldn't want to invest a lot of money in one. I'd rather have a cruiser than a speed boat for that cash anyway.

Do you live on the water? If not I wouldn't even bother. If I had to trailer mine in and out I'd never use it.
