Its very tempting even though i already have a 97 MA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 That is a really cool find. Man, if it checks out, it would be one to own! Doing a little math, 1994 +15 years mothballed = 2009. so 148 hrs in 9 yrs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLSnookhunter Posted December 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Thats what I was thinkin. Also, the outboard shop papers are from a place in Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zara Spook Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Would a detailing help with the stuff that stands out in the pictures to the OCD folks like myself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontyFisher Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 I'm in the market for one of these, and saw this early this morning. I'm out of town for a few weeks but trying to have a friend go look. I'm skeptical of the "never used". Maybe it's my phone but I see some holes in places there shouldn't be any, some sketchy looking sea-dek type material, etc. I'll report back if I get a chance to have someone see it just in case anyone here is interested. Could be a pretty good deal even with fix up money, if its legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontyFisher Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Also I forgot to ask. I'm assuming this could only be bought with the understanding that cutting out the fuel tank is almost a given. Anyone have an estimate on what that may run to have it done and look right? I know that's a loaded question, I'm just looking for a rough ballpark if anyone knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difficulty with any boat like that is the inability to determine the true number of hours on the motor, which then necessitates other assessments. The hull certainly doesn't look like just "143 hours." That said, if a detailing can get it looking cleaner, the motor does well on a leak down test, and there is no need to replace the fuel tank, then at that price it's a very good buy.

MontyFisher Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 I've got a buddy lined up to try and see it. I'll report back if he makes it. NY registration number, Texas invoices, boat in FL - this girl has been around. As for 143 hours, I'm going in with the assumption that is when the hour meter crapped out.

There's some pre 1990 Master Anglers whos fuel tanks are still going strong. I would get the boat inspected and if it checks out its a deal. Fuel tank replacement on these runs between 3 and 5k from what i've been quoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linesider 159 Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Only thing I question are the hours. Newer control box and steering wheel. Could have easily replaced gauges to show lower hours. Take a boat with 2500 hours on it, buy a new gauge, and bam it has 0 hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those gauges do not record hours. My 1998 RF with original gauges didn't record hours and neither does my 1998 21MA. My guess is the boat got newer (2000's) style gauges down the road or has an actual hour meter installed to record hours. Regardless of hours its overpriced with that outboard.

I would have to question "overpriced". If that outhoard runs well and the boat is in good condition,, 12-13k is a pretty solid deal. At some point, these things hit the bottom of their depreciation curve and just maintain their value. with a running engine, this thing is pretty close to that point.

MontyFisher Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I gave this more thought last night and I'm going to continue my search for something newer. Pricing this out and looking at pretty sure things - a repower and cut up boat for fuel tank, let alone wiring, etc. - and i'm DEEP into the $ and still have a 25 year old boat. If anyone scoops it up for a song, post up some pics and give us the skinny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it would need to be near the 9-10k mark to be a "good" deal with that power on the back. Nice boat nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A leak down test and a fuel tank inspection by someone with expertise in that area are what the deal hinges on in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
