I have a 1995 Advantage bow rider jet boat it has a fresh 454 with low hours and a fresh American turbine jet. I just had the carb rebuilt and put on a new carter fuel pump 2 new interstate batteries recent service plugs oil, filters etc. It has 2-20 gal tanks i am the third owner i work with the second owner have all receipts for motor work. It is on a competive dual axel trailer. The boat is turn key runs amazing rides amazing just had it out this weekend at yuma come take a look serious buyers only. no i will not trade or take $8,500 please call 619-971-6099 thank you im asking $10,000.

So you scored this boat for $5800 from a woman who's husband die of cancer and now your trying to make $4200 profit on here? Not against the law by any means but look out for Karma my friend.....

Yes and no if you read any of my ads I had to basically rebuild the boat I've gone thru it with a fine tooth comb. It wasn't really even worth the $5,800 I paid for it.


1995 advantage

Will you take 8600?

Will you take 8600?

So your first post to the site you ask how much your boats worth.........then admit to what an awesome deal it was when you had gotten it a few months prior and that the motor and pump had been built prior to you owning it and bla bla bla

Near two months later you put it up for sale for a price it's actually worth claiming you did some maintenance then pull the plug because of the "family"

And here we are today, almost two months later in boating season and its back up for sale And your claiming you went through it with a fine tooth comb AND bumped the price up 1500. Hmmm

Good luck with that buddy

Oh ok this coming from a guy that has a piece of shit 1972 boat is that right with probably a piece of shit ford motor then if I had to guess you drive a Eco boost ****** f150


1995 advantage

Ouch, seems like someone has a thing against ford. Oh and by the way, I have met 72challenger he drives a Chevy.

You know I was just thinking, home boy combed through his boat with a "fine tooth comb" (regular maintenance) and the price shot up faster than my pecker does when I think of Hallet Dave's boat. So using his logic and considering I have stripped, flipped, glassed, painted, removed everything, reinstalled and replaced anything and everything that needed to be( combed through it with a fine tooth comb) my pos "71" pos "olds455" $2500 booger pile of a boat is worth an easy 13k


I think I like his way of thinking. Excuse me while I edit my listing on Craigslist

Nice boat! Go sell it on Craigslist or boat trader. The offer in this thread is reasonable and a quick sale without dealing with tire kickers.

By the way I a have a '68 Mercury with a built 347, my '78 boat with a warmed over 460, and my truck with a 6.0 diesel. What does it matter what brand someone favors. There's good and bad in every brand.

In the original thread " How much is it worth?", he was told $10k 3 times. Brad even said 10- 14k.
You don't know his situation for selling it.
Could he have worded/handled it better? Yeah.
But, with the mob jumping on his case for asking what they told him was a reasonable amount...
Do you guys have a problem with him selling for that much on SCJB because the past threads?
Or if he just sold it on craigslist for 10k and told you about it, would he get this much grief? 
Is it that he comes off like he's trying to make money off a widow? I like to try to give people the benefit of a doubt.

I've seen some threads where a mob mentallity reacts to something and then someone comes
along and gives a different perspective that seems to make sense to me.  Just trying to understand it, that's all.

who cares what he paid for it?  he offered money to someone and they took it.  he didnt screw anyone out of anything.  they had every right to say no and find out what it was really worth when they took the money. 

that being said, the boat is worth what its worth.  does this mean i have to sell my boat for $150 since thats all i paid for it? 

cmon guys you should be better than this... 

I've not really chimed in on this thread, but I've been watching it.

The guy flipped the boat for a profit. He got the thing for a steal and turned it around to sell it to make a few bucks. Big Deal. You see this all the time with cars on TV (Fast n Loud, Pawn Stars, etc).

Although his personal attack I dont agree with, but can you blame him? Everyone was jumping all over him and he reacted like a cornered stray cat. You all were looking for a reaction and you got it.

Either way, the sale is done, lets move on.
