How are the stringers and floor?

[wakeup]

floor and stringers are solid,had soft spot in floor on drivers side so we cut it out to replace and check everything and the foam wasn't even wet,the soft spot was where we keep our cooler all the time ,I did remove the plastic insert when your feet go on drivers side and just make it smooth with the rest of floor.while we had carpet out I put three layers of fiberglass resin on before we installed new carpet

good looking boat, if you dont mind me askin how much was the wrap?

[wakeup]

1800.00 for wrap

[wakeup]

come on guys,47 views to this thread and Boone can tell me a ballpark I should ask for her....

[lively]

Well what are the basics ? Year , make , model , hours on motor , condition of boat interior / exterior .. What comes with the purchase ? Trailer tires condition , Overall out of pocket money spent ?

[cadunkle]

No one wants to be "that guy" and throw out insulting numbers. I'll be that guy though... I'd say $10k at most, probably more like $7k-$8k. Closed bows aren't in high demand, and many, like myself, would only buy a closed bow if it was a really good deal and couldn't find any solid open bow boats within a 300-500 mile drive. When I think closed bow I think $2500-$5000 SN2001 purely for a cheap bare bones boat with a decent wake. If it was open bow, maybe $10k-$13k.

Wow! Nice boat man. Mine will be 100% redone (floor included) by spring and be of the same niceness but without the wrap. I would also say around 9500-10k asking price but dont let any buyers walk, make a deal and sell it! Its a nice starter boat and nice ski boat so advertise on some of there sites and market it to best of both worlds to the skiers and a great starter boat that fits in the garage. Nice boat man, where have you been?? I thought I was the only one. lol. Jet

post up a few more detals and pic's. I would like to see more.

[bens250ex]

i would say 8k max. The comp gets hurt because its low in the water and is not an open bow. I have seen one local advertised at 6k and hasnt moved. So i would prob start it at around 8k and see what happens. I have come to exspect no more than 6k if and when i sell my comp that is going through a restoration right now.

[bens250ex]

here is the link to the one that is local. Yours is deff way cleaner

Yes..a old looking boat that has zero appeal or hasnt been upgraded or hasn't had the floor redone but is still solid will go for $4k-$6k. But a boat that has HIGH appeal, modern upgrades, style and a "needs nothing" boat is WAY different and is worth more than $6k. This boat ad above is #37 that you find anywhere, anytime Its just a dull no flava unit. Jet

[TitanTn]

I don't know if it'll make a difference in the value, but several of you have compared his boat to a Comp. His is a Bravura.

[bens250ex]

Can someone explain the difference between a bravura and a comp?

[jet]

Thats like explaining the difference between twins. Lol. I THINK the bravura has like a small cubby cabin with a pop-up hatch. But they are rare and I have never seen one, maybe its a euro edition. But the value between them would really be the same. Mine just has a divider in the nose with storage on each side and no pop-hatch. Am I right everyone?? Jet

[jet]

wakeup..we need more pic's of this thing. Show us what you got man. Jet

[chrisk]

Jet, did all of the Comp's come with the powerslot transmission? If so, could that be the major difference between Comps and Bravuras?

[jet]

I am not sure on if the Brav has the powerplus but mine does. I will bet it does, but thats just a guess.

[TitanTn]

Well, I'm no expert on the Bravura, but I don't think it's the same as a Comp. It's longer, wider, more horsepower, heavier, and has a cabin (or really big storage area-whatever you want to call it).

[bens250ex]

OP can you get us some more detailed pics?

[wakeup]

Will try to geet more pics up.im on cell phome now.computer crashed,getting repaired
