It's a great cross over boat. Number one on my list, if the prices every get back to reality for used.

Ive heard of them before just never seen one in the wild...I just looked at their website, are all their boats "surf" boats or are they just trying to appeal to that market?

The little platform thing off the back of some models is interesting

[footndale]

Pretty much Surfs boats but the 215 and 237 are waterski boats that surf. 

DXII is still the standard for barefoot boat tournaments. But are made on limited basis now. The older outboards are stellar for barefooting.

Scott Pellaton still runs Sanger.

What a deal 2021 with 30 hrs for 80K. Brand new with no hours is 75K.

I can almost guarantee that the boat was used only in salt water given that Fairhope is near the south end of Mobile Bay.  I would value the painted trailer at $500.

One of the bigger flightcrafts Ive seen, haven't seen the dual captains/observer chairs either like that

Lots of floor space once you get that pesky engine out of the boat.

It also has an industrial-strength dash.

Gotta be a scam, no exterior pics.  That boat could easily get $35K right now.

I agree on the 35k, but I am wondering if this may not be real. The details don't seem to have some weird stuff in there like the rest of the scams do. Someone may want to follow-up?

I've already got a friend who is desperate for a boat reaching out to him.

Those pictures look like they were taken in the late fall / early winter too...  Definitely not recent.

If it’s a scam it’s one of the better ones I’ve seen. If I was in the market I would be contacting seller. 

[95echelon]

More than 35k. More like 45k. Just went on a big search for a buddy.

There are some people not trying to make a killing.

Many of those people will sell their items to someone who will simply flip them for profit.

Not sure why folks get their knickers in a knot with the prices.  It is a free market.  If someone thinks an item is over priced, no one is forcing them to buy it.

Now that ad reads like a scam

[ROFF]

So what would be the scam?    Getting info?

They get gullible people - especially from out of state to send money prior to pickup.  One of my wifes co-workers did this in the early spring.

I bought my 99 VLX earlier this year for $11K with trailer off Craigslist in very similar condition. Just had the upholstery redone and she cleaned up nicely. I would probably do it again if the boat is mechanically sound with good records.

I see boats like that and think about them like rescue dogs. Someone needs to adopt that thing and give it a loving home.

Sold my old 95 echelon to a family member. We had a lift and a “day slip” they left it in the day slip for the entire 5 years they owned it. Barely popped it in the lift. Lots of trust in the bilge pump and battery. 
 

I had a TON of rehab to do. Thankfully they replaced the seats before I bought it, but a buddy and I spent 16 hours each on the gel. Wet sanded down to 400-800. 

the sun is a fickle mistress.
