It was on a couple weeks ago. I think it’s priced fairly high for an 18.5 with the main being 14 years old.

This thing is kind of cool with newer twin powerhttps://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/1972-Sea-Ray-240--2004-Extensive-Refit_34974029.lite

I think those 115s are working pretty hard to move that boat. Looks like maybe 4500rpm to get 25mph based on the pics.
That looks like one that was for sale in Gold River last summer for $35k. Different electronics though
Even has some of the same photos

Easy to drop 10 into a boat, much harder to get it out, almost impossible. Would forward it to my friend but they want a Cuddy.

The guy is probably trying to get all the money out eh?
$35,000 from when it was for sale last year
$10,000 on maintenance & new electronics
$2,500 for pre-paid Sewells annual moorage
$47,500
The seller must be reading this thread because literally an hour ago the price was dropped down to $47,000!

Not dissing the Silver Streak or the price, great boat at 33k USD and 80k CAD to replace? Likely your only chance to get into a SS hard top like that for under 45k. I did lots of price adjustments when selling my boat and removed all the electronics which he may want to do. I couldn't take off the new canvas, suspension seats, radar arch...sunk costs a economics lesson most of us forget. I'm testing out the new pricing reality with a carbon bike on eBay with bids starting at $1 and free shipping. It would have gone for $750 plus shipping 3 weeks ago. Now I'll be lucking to get a few Canadian pesos out of it. Praying for someone to smarten the F...up south of the board 100k cases today, I digress. Anyone with a nice 18-22 foot Cuddy with outboards for sale? A friend was looking.

Yup, it would be nice with a 225. I had an underpowered boat for a while; more expensive on fuel, slow to get on step, lousy with 3 buddies aboard. The motor was always struggling to keep up. Took the blush off the romance.

The other thing if one motor stops working, I have my doubts whether the 115 would be able to get the boat to plane. My preference would be 1 big motor and a kicker.

i don't disagree , lucky with social/physical distance that's not an issue
. it's interesting to me that sooo many boats show up with min power or underpowered. i assume the dealers push them this way to reduce initial cost. still the striper looks minters and for the right person could be a good option.. like the silver streak..

Yep it is the dealers-same way they sell a trailer for the boat-lightest they can get away with so that the deal looks good. Usually happens to first time buyers because once you operate an under-powered boat or had a trailer that is too light for the load--it never happens again. Expensive fixes and usually the best fix is to sell it on and start again!!

I had the same power on a 2008 with a soft top. It was fine on that hull but I was told when I ordered mine that the 200-225 was recommended with the fixed hard top. That is a great hull that planes easily. I had a 42mph top speed that I never really used. Fuel was good and it handled offshore well....just my experience on a boat I ran from new for 10 years hassle free.
