Wow thats a nice boat!! You could easily get that for $7G or better!!

If it all checks out, I bet you can't do better any where!

[willy]

Agreed MJ, that is one nice boat, if hull floors etc are in good shape that would be the one to jump on

[reelapeelin]

I sure hope somebody here gets that one ;) ...whadda BEAUTY 8) ...

Micco, FL...down there just North of Franco... 8) ...Hey Grand Pubah!!...ever seen this one around anywhere??... ;D ...

[steelheader13]

I live in Micco and have not seen this one. ??

Anyone from here bidding on it?

[tlb888]

Seems as if someone were considering a V20 this is a steal with newer power. If I could get someone to buy mine I'd be all over that. Looks turn key.

Re: the motor. If anyone is seriously interested in this boat - I would double-check the model year of that motor (ie obtain the model number off the engine). 2003 would be a Bombardier built engine - which would be much more valuable for resale than the Envinrude built FICHT engines that preceded it. I question the model year really being a 2003 as advertised - because I have a 2000 150 FICHT ... and the cowling looks exactly like the one in the photo. Every 2002 and newer cowling I have ever seen - look significantly different.

Exactly! If it sounds too good to be true......This is what a 2003 150 FICHT should look like....Caveat Emptor!

I guess maybe it's not the correct cowling, but for the price I doubt it. Maybe it was rebuilt in 2003. I emailed the seller, let's see.

[steelheader13]

Post that info when you get it, curious.

As of 1:00 today, the bid is $6750.00 with three days and 23 hours left on the bid. It went from $2k to $6750.00 in 8 bids.

yea seems kinda fishy....i wrote him with a bunch of questions and got a pretty short reply.

i asked him ..transom and floor was ok....if the motor was rebuilt, did he ever have any problems with it...how many hours did it have on it and a few others... this is what he replied..

"no rot on anything, I bought used the former owner bought motor new, 40-50 hrs on it. Had boat serviced in Aug when I had the new fishfinder installed"

This is the email I received:

I will get my husband to get that for you he will not be back until this later this afternoon.

I asked if the year was correct and for the serial number. I have a feeling the "husband" will not be emailing me. ::)

[TheTinMan]

I emailed the high bidder and warned him, told him to come here and see thread. I HATE scammers!!!

[TheTinMan]

Well, after a couple emails to the seller AND bidders, the seller just added this to the ad:

Sorry for confusion about motor, motor was purchased new in April of 2003, have receipt of purchase. Mfg. in May of 2000... Model E150FPXSSM Serial G04874662.

Makes a big difference! I wouldn't want that motor!

Good investigation work. 8)

[willy]

You got toget up pretty early to sneak past all you OLD CODGERS ;D

[Airslot]

Willy, watch your language. I was actually criticized at work recently because I'm not "curmudeonly enough," the knock on me is that I'm a hell of a nice guy, you old codger. ;D

[willy]

I resemble that remark :)

[TheTinMan]

Received an email from seller, finally. Sounds like an honest mistake to me. I STILL would not want a 2000 FICHT!

his email: motor is a 2000, it was purchased in april of 2003 and installed. The man we bought it from said he got in in '03, so we assumed it was an '03, we had the the boat and motor serviced in jul or aug when we installed the new humminbird fishfinder, we also had a new impeller installed then. everything is working great and in good working order

[chumbucket]

Best of luck to the high bidder. I've got a feeling he's going to need it. :-[
