Thinking about a Bullet

Rob Asner had one here in Ocean City, it's rough here (just look at my signature picture) and his boat was just fine. I like Bullets, some of the Bullet owners have told me the ride can be a little wet if it's very rough, but I'd say you'll love the boat. I especially like the engine hatch design and how it improves access to the engines. The front deck design is really cool too. Good luck!

Love the flag paint. Almost whent that rout with my rebuild. The extra with was nice when I was derigging the boat and spark plugs or any other motor work should be easy. It's a bit tight in the front with the TRS boat, but like stated above the hatch helps with that. Have mine down to a fiberglass shell and its built like a tank.

I would work on the dealer some. That boat looks all original except for paint. You should be able to pick it up for less than that. Think hard about hiring a marine surveyor to check it out and help "negotiate" the price some. With the trailer, I would aim for the $25K to $30K range. The boat is not perfect. I would consider it much like my boat, a running project boat
Also, make sure everything works, like the fresh water pump, the head macerator pump, all running lights, etc....
Good luck! If it checks out and everything works, you'll LOVE the boat!

Thank you very much guys, I am waiting on a call back, I know the boat is brokered so it's hard telling what will come of it. All freshwater use.

Another small piece of advice. I could be wrong, but those drives and tabs do NOT look like all freshwater use, not that it has to be a freshwater boat. Just be careful.
Mantra should be surveyor.....surveyor....
