and the saga continues

The only ‘saga’ is you feeling the need to come onto my posting with your comments when you couldn’t afford to buy the props. I know it, you know it and anyone that sees your comments knows it. If this was listed for 10k you wouldn’t be able to come up with $9500. Get a life, step away from the keyboard and get back on your meds.
 
Let's look at it.

That 15 year old boat that you were asking Asking $174,999.00 last year,

is now

a 16 year old boat that you are now asking 165K.

That is is still on the market a year later when it is such a seller's market that most boats are selling like hot cakes says it all.

I still say it is a beautiful boat and always have said it, just that the asking price was not in reality.

Lots of luck with your sale.

Dude,
@Bass2Mouth read you very well: you sound like someone who "couldn’t afford to buy the props".

Please go away.

You guys attack me personally when I simply stated the facts. The facts still speak for themself and still stand and are accurate.
I even complimented it was a beautiful boat and wished him luck. What did you guys do, attack me by calling me names and saying I have no money.
Those are not facts, even if they were true you would have no way of knowing it.

Now who is the ass? Look in the mirror.

Your last sentence should have been the only one. Nobody asked for your opinion but you gave it unsolicited and now you don’t like the response. I have significantly more into the boat than I’m asking and it’s all documented. ‘Open to Offers’ on every post I make but somehow you’re still triggered by this listing. Make an offer or go troll elsewhere. Have a nice day.

You act like a troll. Please delete your ******** posts, just like you did last time.
 
Beautiful boat.

If I was in a position to upgrade boats I would give this boat a hard look. Newer Suzuki 300’s ain’t cheep and this boat has lots of little details that some may not appreciate until you go round 2 and 3 after the initial boat purchase.
