I had been looking for a 35 but this seems pretty 'cheap'. Appreciate on 500's it wont be the fastest boat in the world but plenty quick enough i imagine for my first boat and big enough for the Miami to San Juan trip. Any opinions on it?

thx

Looks nice. I wonder why it has gil manifolds instead of headers?

Looks good if these are recent pictures, I would be leary about the exhaust change too. 50 hrs??? Seems pretty low. Could of sat in salt water, parts of the engines show some rust. Also the stock sewater pumps have been changed to crank mounted ones.

i dont mind about a few cosmetic issues if its sat in salt. its going to go frazzle in salt water and the carribean sun year round, so i have no illusions about being able to keep it looking half as good as all your beautiful boats. indeed it would probably be dumb of me to pay up for a pristine freshwater boat, as nice as it would be.

Look at the pictures closely. It looks a little rough around the edges. CMIs are not there as well. Why? Motors are probably a little tired and there is no paint on the boat. I think it is priced accordingly though. Get a survey.

many thanks for your observations guys but at risk of looking like a complete twonk can someone please tell me what CMI's and gil manifolds are? i know what headers are. thanks

is the salt water pump on the crank an issue? i'd have thought the crank is a pretty reliable way of spinning the pump when its needed!

I've seen it in person and its a nice boat. Everything they deal in is nice and they're great to work with. Call Casey at 817-832-8526 he's the man to talk to about it.

500 EFIs came standard with CMI E-top headers. Gill manifolds were standard on the older version 500HPs by Merc. Racing. Just curious as to where they are and why they are not on the motors. The boat seems priced right though even if it does need a little reconditioning.
