2008 VLX Is it worth the asking price?

[Ndawg12]

Yeah that's what I have been primary looking for. Just having a hard time finding one with the options and colors that I like for 50k. I found a 2006 247 lsv with everything I want but they want 47k for it. I think thats way to high. I was thinking it needs to be closer to 40k.

You do know the difference between the models right? A 2006 247LSV in good shape with decent options and hours is worth mid 40's all day.

Here is one in Colorado - http://fortcollins.craigslist.org/boa/4395245426.html. 2008 for $43,000 and I think he would take a little less for it. He is also including some gear too.

I am pretty sure I do. Length, weight, motor, draft, gas tank size(87 vs 46). 16 vs 11 people. etc.. Now I am not sure if I am missing anything else?

The question should be do you like the price and is it a clean boat

Just my $.02 but the 247 has the opposite problem, my good friend has one and it is a nice boat but it is a barge and takes a ton of ballast to get a decent surf wave, if I couldn't get an LSV I would go with the VLX over the 247.

Woofta, I would have to see the green and black in person to make the call on that boat. Don't really like it based on the pictures.

It shouldn't take that much more than the LSV 23. From what I recall reading some of the topics, I thought the longer/heavier boats produced a better wave for surfing?

The bigger the boat the more weight it is going to take however the potential for a better wave increases with the size of the boat as well. The 247 will put out a great wave when weighted properly. It really is not much heavier than a 23 LSV.
