That sounds very fair. I figured it was well over 20K new.

The new four strokes are killing the optimax values. Be prepared for the low balls coming.

Well it appears that I may have under valued or at least underestimated the demand for these motors. I posted it on 2 websites 2 days ago & have received 37 emails as of right now. Guy is coming to pick it up Sunday for a cool 18k...

I knew it could get more. The waiting list is long for buying a single engine.

Guessing you're on the tiered mercury program? The 300 V8 are in pretty high demand right now. Pretty excited to see how well 3 of them push a 33ft CC

Does the ProXS have the selectable exhaust mode?
