Exactly. Plus, if the seller wants $20k, then he should spend a couple hundred bucks on a diagnosis before dumping his basket case on some other chump and fleeing the country lol
Unless he HAS spend the $ and didn’t like what the mechanic told him.

Guess I should read the ads. My bad

I do that too, seems like a reasonable price and power, doesn’t even make sense to the old brain that it doesn’t run. Makes your boat look like a steal, more space, more motors, more hp, more warranty.

Not a boat but a new 3.5hp mercury for a dingy or little aluminum short shaft. Love mine and you can even soup them up to 5hp if I remember correctly

Too bad he doesn't say anything about the stringers and transom. It would be a shame to put that much motor into a suspect hull.

Those dphi's are not sought after in our local market. Maybe 5k value to the right buyer? Could last a while or blow up tomorrow. Really the same could be said for any almost twenty year old outboard. The hpdi two strokes are not anywhere near as reliable as the venerable 150 yam 4 stroke.IS $65k a fair value for this boat? It has twin 2005 Yamaha 150HP 2 stroke with 1,400 hrs. Will these engines last for a few years?232 Grady White Gulfstream - boats - by owner - craigslist

Value the boat for repower.....

I would look at what it would cost to repower, likely 50k or so. Is the boat with worth 115k plus taxes to you? Trailer might need to be upgraded to Electric over hydraulic brakes to be legal.IS $65k a fair value for this boat? It has twin 2005 Yamaha 150HP 2 stroke with 1,400 hrs.

Not sure the age of those electronics, sounds like a good package but electronics seem to last 5-8 years on average. Nice rear steering wheel.
I agree 5k would be if you could find the right buyer, for the engines. I don’t think dealers would give you anything in trade in and would charge you $ to remove them.
I guess this looks like a better deal?

I would wonder why there are 2005 2 strokes on a 2001 hull, especially with today’s fuel and 2 stroke oil prices. He most likely picked up those higher hour 2 strokes very cheap or close to nothing to replace older original motors just to sell the package. Very interesting.IS $65k a fair value for this boat?

make sense. He owned the boat for 3 months. He said he bought it to sell

Yes! Some members feel it is under powered but the engine is definetly worth a lot more and everything seems to have been redone in the last 10 years. The kicker, electronics and newer trailer add up to tens of thousands of dollars you hopefully won’t have to spend in the next year or two, where old two strokes are almost a guaranteed negative value soon.I guess this looks like a better deal?

They are likely open to offers as it has been sitting on the market for a while.
If you usually fish with 2-3 people all under 200lbs and keep the boat lightly loaded it might perform well. I believe that is a good series of engine but check with a yami expert.
If you and your passengers are all over 250lbs and you fish with 4 people than 300hp or more might be needed to go fast.

Yeah they wanted close to 100k to start out with. I live in Ukee part time and have looked at the grady. It's in ok shape. This boat will be a bit of a dog with the single and the original bracket. It is showing its age in some ways.I guess this looks like a better deal?

As Kael said, the single 250 would be ok (barely passable with light loads and fishing calm water). Don't believe there was much negotiation room left.
Still some potential pitfalls with a 25 year old grady hull.
