I have an 06 with 200s which I bought used- very rare- would rather have 250s but it cruises at 4000 at 30mph which is what my buddys 06 Marlin with 250s does- also WOT is about 44mph

282 282

The only buyers I have seen are wannabes or people with 10k and think they can finance the balance in this economy. The boat was listed with Anglers Edge for months.

For a comparison I am selling or trying to a 2006 with 200hps 4 strokes with excellent electronics and ONLY 22 HOURS on motors and all other options except AC for 80K.

With the credit crisis abating is the boat financing biz any better- my friend needs to borrow 85K with 25% down on a late model used Grady- he is in south Florida.

In one month the Grady Expert from redneck riviera has had 11 pages on this forum related to his finding the "right deal" and now it is a bad, no actually, horrible deal/purchase- PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICE!- For the horse s--- you you have sent my way since December- all I can say it could not...

You get what you pay for- no such thing as a "free lunch" in this world.

Well if they are a little generous regarding a 24 knot cruise at 4k rpm on the Marlin- that boat is 2 knots slower thn my 282 with the worst engines yama makes- F200s- my boat is a white elephant per you yet for $2000 the f200s are 225s and it will cruise at 28 knots.

As an ex trader from wall street I adjust prices to the market as I see and feel it- My boat started at 89 and now can be bought for 75 which is a deal compared to what you are paying for 03 and 05s-or compared to any other 282 on the net-losing $$ on toys does not affect me- these are not...

This thread is so interesting considering the players involved- Bamas experience mirrored mine last year when trying to buy a 22 GW including his! After ridiculous negotiations regarding the value of his MINT 22 and finally an agreed upon price/deal- he decides that he wants the electronics off...

This whole discussion makes my 2006 282 look like a deal for the price I quoted BAMA.

That is the way the dealer in Michigan specd it- i just bought it used but it cruises 26 knots at 4000 rpm which is respectful- per Ingham marine a 250 will produce 5 mph more cruise and higher top end.

went thru that 200 vs 250 issue with John at Ingham Marine- his point was the boat is just fine with 200s and dont change them out- I bought it on ebay in January for 72 plus transport from Michigan and put 10k into radar,autopilot, raymarine df and a new profish lemar windlass plus $$...

282 GW What I meant to say above is that I own a 2006 with only 21 hours of no use and want 80 or a little less for a quick deal compared to an 05 for 75.

My boat is the cheapest, cleanest by far since it shows as new and most equipped with electronics installed only last March. It was a fresh water boat. It has spent a good amount of time under cover and not a scratch anywhere. It is in storage under shrinkwrap at this time in Florida. Just do...
