So I may be picking this up soon as a second boat. The owner is having the 460 rebuilt as we speak, just installed new interior and carpet, has a Berkeley jet and diverter...   

How much is this worth? We are talking about doing a trade but I don't know what the boat is worth... Any help is greatly appreciated

Yeah they ride great, not the fastest things in the world but they'll do 65 mph with a 500 hp motor no problem

Right now I'm not worried about top speed... If the hull is the same as advantage etc.. Then I know they will ride nicely...just not sure if this boat carries the value as well at the other open bows even though they are the same/similar

No they don't so just don't let yourself get to far into spending on it, just maintain it and enjoy it, they are a lot of fun and easy to repair if necessary.

I couldn't tell you the value of it I paid 5 grand for mine with a killer system, fresh carpeting and stringers with 350 hours on the engine, so far I've had to put a set of u joints in it and a tune up and oil changes. That's it and I've put over two hudred hours on mine since I bought it.

The seller has mentioned he hasn't made up his mind for sure but he's thinking to ask around $4500
