I don't think you can bore a 460 enough to get 500ci without a stroker crank.  I would question everything about that one.  I doesn't sound like he knows much about what he has.

I asked him a shit load of question via email, I dont think he is responding to me now.   :o

Things he said:
Its a Berkley pump, which was rebuilt about two years ago. It has a diverter that sprays a real large rooster tail.
The boat starts up perfect every time. It was mechanic owned until I bought it about a year and a half ago. It has been maintained well and the engine is in excellent condition.
The paint is original. No gelcoat. It is in good condition considering it is about 30 years old.
The interior could use some work. It isn't destroyed or anything, just kind of faded from the sun.
Overall Id give the boat an 8. Mechanically its a 10.
The engine wasn't rebuilt, just the carburetors were, and I have a receipt for that. I replaced all the spark plugs myself when I bought it. Other than that, the engine was perfect when I got it. The Rewarder headers were put on about a year before I bought the boat.
The boat probably does about 75 or 80 on the water.
The boat was built by dick shuster at Hawaiian boats back in the '70s. It was built with that engine in the boat originally. The engine has maybe 400 hours on it since then.  The boat runs on 100 octane. So, it's definitely a high performance engine. The engine alone is worth what were selling it for.  Cant use 91 octane, pings real bad and runs bad.

Ha, just because they are listed for that doesn't mean they are going to get it. There was this one eliminator I was watching a little while back that started at $15k went all the way down to $8500 then never saw it again... The markets not coming around ^which is sweet for me, because I'm looking to buy^ but a lot of people and listing high and dropping the price, I have a running 550 stand up listed for $500 and some guy texted me saying "I'll give you $130, and I'll even come pick it up"... Yeah...

My boat was advertised in the Boat Trader magazine for a year @ $10,000.  After 10 months I called on it and he would take $8,000.  6 weeks later than that he said he would take $6200.   THAT motivated me to drive to Havasu to take a look at it.  I still kick myself for buying a boat IN HAVASU and not putting it in the water.  Still love the boat but I don't know if I would have bought it after discovering how underpowered it is.

I tried everything in my power to get that boat today...  i put my boat up last night as soon as i saw it. had 2 guys come look at mine and one guy left a deposit. called the guy with the hallet and he said it was pulling out of his driveway... day late and a buck short story of my life.... so since it looks like my boat is sold everyone keep your eyes open for a flatty v-drive for me.. i got up to 3500 to spend.

I was at work when I saw the add for your boat.  I was thinking about having a buddy text you and ask if it was the same boat he saw with the flames coming out of it.  ;)

Good luck with the sale and search for a replacement.
