Listed it in the want ad for next tuesday for 4000 or BO. Do you think I'm asking to much? Make an offer! New boat arrivung Monday need this one out of the yard.

Judging from the pics, $4000 is a great buy. You shouldn't have any trouble selling it. You haven't said where you are. That boat in Canada would bring $8000Can.

 

[Big Dave]

Wow, I want a v8 in my diplomat!!!!!
How does it run?
what setup are you running
Sounds like a great price!

 

[mistertoadie]

WOW!!! $4000. is a steal for that boat. If I had the cash I would come get it right now. Where in mass. are you?? Does it have through hull exhaust??

 

[85 diplomat]

I'm in Auburn Mass.The boat doesn't have through hull. Keeps the authorities from noticing it ripping across the lake at 60. It has a few dings in the hull but mechanically it is in great condition. I dont think the picture shows it but it has a 2x6 foot teak swim step on the back. Makes it real easy to get on when pulling tubes or skis. Fired it up on Friday, Still sounds nice.

 

[Big Dave]

what prop, and rpm at wot?

 

[85 diplomat]

I'm running a 21 pitch Hustler aluminum 3 blade, Wide open is 4600-4700 depending on conditions
