New to the site!
Hello Everyone! I'm new to the site, but not new to boating. I'm considering a '96 Powerquest Enticer FX with twin 7.4MPI's (330hp). Boat has 275 hours on it and needs a really good polishing, waxing, cleanup. It comes with a dual axle galvanized trailer. I had the boat surveyed and it came back good. The guy wants $35k and won't budge.
My question is, how does this price compare? Would I be doing pretty good with this price?
Thanks!

I know where you could get one that *doesn't* need a good clean-up for just a few bucks more

And $38K would take it home today...

More seriously, it's very hard to tell if $35K is a good deal or not. Any '96 is 10 years old - I've seen some 10 year old boats that are spotless, and some that are absolutely beat to crap. It really depends on the individual boat.

I've looked at your boat. It's at Waters Edge Marina. I can't remember the gentleman that I spoke to that day though. I think he said he was a friend of yours and has a Sunsation?
Either way, the one I'm looking at isn't beat, it just needs a really really good cleaning.

That seems to be a pretty good price for a 96 ,assuming it just needs a good cleaning. I'm assuming the 330's are carbs?? If so that will be a turn off for about 50% of the buyers. I can say having had both I'd opt for the EFI any day of the week. Only downfall with the EFI's is they are what they are for the most part. The carbs you can modify much easier. As for the boat , that's my next move , and will make for #3 in the powerquest family that I've owned.
Funny thing is you can spend that much on a 26 easy!
By the where will you be boating?

If you're interested in my boat or just want to shoot the sh!t about the 290s or PQ in general (I've owned two), let me know - my number is in the classifed ad on this site.

I live near Lake St. Clair. But the boat will be used for weekend runs to Cedar Pointe, Put In Bay, Grand Bend, etc.
