2000 TopGun Lip-Ship Resto
#21
Price is WAY too high,... I had a 98' Gun that was completely re done, and as good as my boat and Phils boat looks... the fact is that it is still a straight bottom gun with small power and a good restoration. Anyone serious about buying a boat in that price range would be hauling Wild's boat back home first and paying to get it painted. Phil's is a really nice boat but it is still what is always was ... My guess is really low 100's, and at that I would still beat up Rqandy on his price and pay the difference ! just my .02, and I know it means nothing !!

Tanner has a legitimate comparison. His boat was a 98 although but If my memory serves me right his boat had bigger power. I think the boat is a 115k to 125k max! Lots of buys on twin steps right now. I would look hard at this boat. They did a killer job. Tanners boat was killer and Im sure he knows how many $ went into his to make it sweet.

I agree that it is a beautiful boat but it is still a straight bottom boat for a twin step asking price. Tanners boat sold months ago before our economy foiled that sank the values on our boats. Tanners boat is a legitimate comparison because it it was re done and was not 150k. I only implied that 150k for a 9 year old straight v bottom, 500hp bravo boat with a cover girl cabin and a nice paint job is ludicris. Lets be real. Not trying to ruffle any feathers but I would be bringing home a 2003 TS 575 boat for that kind of jack. The boat is sweet though. Just a little strong on the dollar.

Although I have not seen either boat in person I am sure that this comparison is not apples to apples. I would guess the detail was not there.
Don’t get me wrong Tanner’s boat was/is a very nice boat that anybody should proud to own.

Greg, I think the boat is worth every penny but then again I'm crazy and now have $150k+ in my Cigarette 24 Firefox Lip-Ship Edition. I can tell you that when you buy a boat from Phil a friendship comes with it. I met him a little over a year ago when we decided to do this project and he's part of the family now.
I think you pay for what you get and sometimes you have to pay a little bit more to get that.
Lip-Ship 20 & 38TG will eventually join the fleet.
