Good luck on the sale Sippy.:thumb: I know you looked along time for the "perfect" boat, there will be another for ya.
 
If anyone is looking to upgrade I may consider a partial trade for the right boat. I don't have a specific model in mind at this point.

Reasonable offers welcome. Would like to move it this season. Winter storage may also be available at no charge.
 
Sorry to hear that you are selling it.
Thats probably pretty close to what I would option a brand new one if I was in the market.
That thing is really a beautiful boat.
Good luck with the sale.
 
That is a really clean and beautiful boat. Good luck on the sale and your business opportunity. Should sell fast. That boat is MINT. :eyecrazy:
 
ttt it's at 68k now. would like to get into something else. if anyone is looking to upgrade the value of their trade comes off of the asking price for easier financing.
 
Are you getting any interest Sip?

I've had a few calls but nothing too serious. one guy seems pretty interested but needs to sell his houseboat first. he says he'll put a SC on it if he buys it. it's a poor time to sell but a great time to buy if you follow me
 
Wow that boat is beautiful. It is exactly what I want someday with the 525. I am planning to sell my 251 in the spring. If you still have it for sale I will be interested. What kind of speed and RPM's are you seeing?

thanks rj. to be honest I didn't push the boat for max #'s. I only put about 8hrs on it and most of those were spent getting used to the boats size, power, runnin tabs and keepin it safe. my last boat was a '87 diplomat so it was a big jump to the 280.

the best deals are offered in the off season :poke:
