I love that zt330. It might not do 110. But if it does 85, that would be fine. Man I love this boat. Why the heck does the price always change? Went from 84 to 56 now back to 69?

56 would have been ok. 69 is too high though I think.

It's just wierd how it has been listed many times at different prices.
I'd love to own it. But not right now. And not at 69k.

I'd take a GPS with you to look at it and tell him that if you hit 110, youwill give him asking price, but for every mph below 110 you hit, he will have to knock off $1000. My guess is you would get that boat for a really good price that way!!

I know Bill (check253) and Kunkels Marine are (or were) pushing way more power than his combined power in their 300 Convincors to hit speeds over 110. And those were lighter single motor combos that are in, from what I understand, faster hulls. Now that being said, would I own the zt330? Oh hell yes!!! I love that boat!!! I would sell the 500's out of it and build a twin to my LS motor. Drop over 1000lbs out of the back of that thing and I bet it would be a rocket ship!!!
 
It's the end of the season, if someone really wants that 330 I would think the owner will take a fairly large discount off his asking price since he has been down to 56 before with it.

If it was mine I'd try to leave it as is and just maintain it. That boat has already had way too much money dropped on it, maybe when the 540's are tired if you still like it, the put LS power in it.

Part of the problem he has selling it, is that at the higher asking prices he has listed on it, you can start looking at big name brand boats of the same vintage.

I'm not in the market at all but I look every day at various sites. My wife asks me why I do it. I guess it's just a hobby lookin at boats. What's funnny is that I wasn't really in the market when I bought either one of my 'mates. So i guess she gets nervous that she's not gonna get that new house I keep promising. :)

Depends on if they use a roller rocker top end. If it's a 502 with a blower then no. If it's a hp500 with a blower then they are a maintenance item.
