9k. With a brand new ultrex But had a bunch of little stuff wrong. Trailer board bad, latches broke, windshields cracked, little patch of hazing, had a littke problem w lower unit I had rebuilt 4 years ago

The beauty was I paid 9 for it 11 years ago on a screaming good deal

Yea I was planning to list it for 9k. I just decided to sell it and haven’t advertised yet. It’s been garage kept and no issues at all. I just dread the idea of dealing with people and scheduling meets to run it.

If it is perfect you can get a lot more.

I traded mine and it sold before they cleaned it up. But I didn’t want people calling me when crap wasn’t perfect.

Damn. Toledo Fiberglass did my gorilla hull for less than that.

My first was a 17’ xpress with a 2 stroke 90hp Yamaha on the back

Learning with the allwelded metal boat was huge.

frick I miss that boat. Motor never had an issue

Compression was great, little sea foam every now and then and service it once a year
