I looked at one real close. Nice boat. However, I'd rather have a 2000 or 2001 Top Gun T/S for around $200k. The only way I would buy one is if I had size restrictions on dock space or something like that.

move into a 35 before you move into a gun... with a 35 or a 38 it changes a lot.. you need a truck to pull, you need a place to keep it.. its a little different than a smaller boat...

Take your pick. There are some sick used TG's (with some serious HP) for sale
and you can get a bad a$$ tow rig all for under 200k!!
28' to 30' to 35' to 38' every couple of years.
I think that is called "the case of the three footies".

We went from a 24' Baja Outlaw to our Top Gun. I was very familiar with Cafe's too and was looking at both but decided on the Gun and glad I did. You'll be glad you went bigger instead of wanting bigger in a year or so.

The Vice is a sweet boat but I think it is a bit over priced. Bring it down to about 150k and it would sell a HELL of a lot better. And by the way, the original asking on them was like 180k and some change and I was told if you know the right people you can get one for somewhere around 150-160 range.

Bullets are cool, but I don't personally like the stepped deck but you can get one for a good price.

If you're looking at spending high hundreds I would seriously look at that Playboy that's listed. that thing is SWEEEET! but then again if you're looking at spending that much you are in a great buyers market. There are a lot of boats in the mid 100's.

Good luck, keep us posted.

So you are, or aren't looking?

Some of the 01 Top Gun T/S boats are selling for less than 200k. That blows the Vice away.
