How do you tell some one that you like th eboat but motor stinks and I will need to repower so here is my offer? The electronics are newer. They are asking 29,999 ans I think 22,500 would be accepted. Not sure if I want to hold out on that modle for twins or buy low and repwoer with twins when I...

Was this common back then? With all the issues that the 2000 Ram was said to have is it still worth looking at? The motor onlyy has 210 hours which is scary in 8 years. I am looking to see if any upgrades were completed. Any thought if a 225 is enough power for a 247 advance? Thanks again for...

Thanks for the info. The 2001 also has the cut "step up" transom. That does not seem to big of a deal as you said it will be clean water. There as not been much negitive about any grady I have looked into from 265 to the 247. The admirial actually said the boat will be better off being used for...

I have sent a email to Grady cust. service to answer the question. I am waiting to see if my offer is accepted before a fly down and take a look a the vessel. I willlet you know the answer.

From what I can tell there is no step up at the back of the vessel. Thank you for that point. Looks like a typical Euro transom with motors mounted on the back. Any one else out there have any information?

Can any provide good or not so good things about a 2001 247 advance. Ride, trailability, cockpit space for bottom bumping, room for down riggers ect. Located a pretty nice condition one in the South but have never actually been on the 247. Love the 222 so I can not imagine not liking this one. I...

That is the same boat I was talking about. It was pretty sad how it was handled. Glad I did not make the trip out there.

The deal was to good to be true. Contacted the dealer today to find out what was the hold up and why can th eengines not be inspected? Turned out that th eport woul start and not rev and th estrb would not even crank. some one in the mean time offered $30,000 as is where is and the dealer took...

The deal seems to be getting a little wierd. The broker as yet to get the engines to a mechanic for inspection (on their behalf) and has not given much inofrmation until the reports come back. The info I got was the bank has considered my offer as fair and wants to move foward. I have been...

The boat is owned by the bank but is being sold thru a broker. That is what they do. Help banks sell of there liabilities ( I have researched the business). I will have ample time to see the boat trial and inspect. The boat is currently posted now on boatrader. I understand not to fall in love...

I am still waiting for the mechanic to issue a statement on the motors. I am located about 1000 miles fromthe boat so a lot has been done over th ephone. If the first report comes back posititve my next step will be to fly out and inspect the vessel myself and with a survier. The boat is a bank...

What is the asking price? The asking price was $49,999 and I offered the dealer/bank a low ball offer (close to 30% less) that they want to exept. I find out today for sure. I live in Colorado (for now). Spent a lot of time off the East Coast of Florida fishing before I moved four years ago...

I have located a great deal or I think a great deal on a 2000 265 express :lol: . It has 200hpdi's also 2000 w/ +- 450 hours. waiting for the YDS report for actual stats. Anything wrong with this power set up on this model? I will have a survey for mechanical and hull if we move foward. Thanks...
